Summer (サマー Samā?) is the Concept-Type UMA that embodies the season of summer. It and it's juniors appear in places that have a surplus of gunpowder and fuel, such as gas stations and firework sellers, which they seek to consume and grow stronger.
Appearance[]
As a core, Summer appears as a small firework shell with a crack from which emerges an eye-stalk.
During its First Phase, Summer grows to enormous size with a form reminiscent of Chinese dragons. It has a single eye identical to its core and a black, spiky carapace over its body and short whiskers made of lit fuses. It also gains the power of flight.
During its Second Phase, Summer grows even larger, its carapace turns lighter and its eye splits in two along with longer whiskers. The underside of his segments appear with a bullseye pattern and are actually where his core is located.
Personality[]
Summer displays no particular personality, silently enacting its rule while seeking to grow larger. Presumably it hold the same goal of making humans suffer, as all UMAs do.
Plot[]
Unbelievable Arc[]
Summer is the target of one of the Four Season Quests and the Union battles Under to defeat it. Andy, Fuuko, Shen and Mui battle Feng and some of Summer's Juniors upon his back while it grows larger; they manage to defeat Feng but not before Summer changes phase. Apocalypse mentions that in all the loops, the Union has never managed to defeat Summer when it enters its Second Phase, however Mui unintentionally uses Untruth causing him to reveal that to defeat Summer they must destroy all its segments simultaneously. Knowing this, Shen and Mui force the Nyoi-Kinko Staff down its throat and force it to bend, making Summer curl; Chikara fixes it in place with Unmove and Tatiana bursts all the segments at once using Untouchable, destroying Summer. Shortly after its death, the world begins to become covered in snow, as without Summer to counterbalance Winter the world will freeze over. Fuuko gives herself up to Under on the condition they'll make Burn kill Winter, to which they agree.
Union Arc[]
Summer is presented as a Quest target, but Fuuko skips that set.
Unjustice Arc[]
Summer is again presented as a Quest target alongside Burn, Beast and Language - since the penalty is Revolution, Fuuko accepts the set.
Abilities[]
Firework Physiology: Summer is a living firework and grows larger by eating combustible materials such as gunpowder and gasoline. This also makes it so than when its defeated, its body explodes instead of evaporating[1].
Enhanced Attack Power: Apocalypse states that Summer has the highest attack power of the Four Seasons[2], but never gets a chance to show it.
Enhanced Durability: Summer's carapace is shown to be extremely sturdy.
Distributed Core Regeneration: In its Second Phase, Summer's core becomes the large round undersides of its segments. Unless all segments are destroyed simultaneously, Summer will fully regenerate in mere moments[2].
Junior Creation: Summer can create Juniors that appear almost identical to its core form except that they have legs. By eating combustibles, they can grow into a snake-like form similar to Summer's First Phase, albeit much smaller.
