A German clay artist just gave Fortnite’s biggest Season 9 monster a second life on YouTube.

Ten days after the Polar Peak iceberg cracked open on live servers, ClayClaim’s Simon pulled out his polymer clay and got to work replicating the fight that broke the internet. His new tutorial walks through sculpting Cattus — the sea monster officially credited in Fortnite Battle Royale as The Devourer — piece by piece, from its spiked back to its jagged teeth. It’s the follow-up fans had been asking for since he finished his Mecha Team Leader build.

• The tutorial recreates Cattus, codenamed internally and known in-game as The Devourer, the reptilian sea creature that broke free from beneath Polar Peak during Fortnite Season 9.
• The creature emerged during “The Final Showdown,” the live in-game event on July 20, 2019, where it fought the giant Mecha Team Leader robot while carrying the Polar Peak castle on its back.
• Simon built this Devourer sculpt specifically to pair with his earlier Mecha Team Leader clay figure, telling viewers he has plans for a comedic follow-up video using both pieces together.

From Iceberg to Live Event

Cattus spent the early weeks of Season 9 frozen solid under Polar Peak, a detail players noticed as the ice around the mountain slowly cracked in the days leading up to July 20. When it finally broke loose during The Final Showdown, the beast didn’t just wake up — it swam out to sea with the entire Polar Peak castle still lodged on its spiny back, then turned to face down the Mecha Team Leader robot in a full-scale live event battle that players across every region watched happen in real time.

That spectacle is exactly what Simon is chasing with his clay work. Rather than sculpting a generic monster, he’s replicating the specific silhouette Epic Games put on screen: the castle ruins still clinging to the ridge of spikes, the elongated head, the sea-worn scales built to look like something that had been buried in ice for months.

Building The Devourer in Polymer Clay

The tutorial follows Simon’s usual sculpting process — shaping the core body mass first, then layering in the ridges and spikes that run down Cattus’s back before baking each section separately. He pays particular attention to the head, where the in-game model carries most of its menace: deep-set eyes, a mouth full of jagged teeth, and the weathered, cracked-scale texture that separates this creature from a plain reptile sculpt.

Simon has said the appeal of this project, for him and for the fans requesting it, comes from finishing the pair. He’d already sculpted the Mecha Team Leader robot for an earlier video, and viewers kept asking when Cattus was coming so the two could finally share a frame.

So many of you asked me to make the Monster Cattus — now that I have both, I still have some plans for a really funny video with both of them.

Fans Advocate for Desired Pairing

The Final Showdown wasn’t a quiet lore update — it was a scripted, server-wide event that put Cattus and the Mecha Team Leader in direct conflict in front of the entire Fortnite player base on July 20, 2019. Sculptors and cosplayers building content around that fight have leaned toward recreating both combatants rather than one, since the event’s entire draw was the matchup itself. Simon’s decision to build the companion piece tracks with that instinct, and it sets up whatever action or comedy sequence he films next using the two clay figures together.

Viewers drawn to this kind of build often gravitate toward other battle royale content on the channel network, including breakdowns like the Gigantamax Pokemon Battle Royale collab, which covers a different franchise but the same genre obsession with oversized creature showdowns. Fans following other live-service tie-in content have also found crossover interest in trailers like the Apex Legends: Defiance gameplay trailer, another battle royale title riding its own seasonal event cycle around the same period.

Simon’s already told viewers the two clay figures won’t just sit on a shelf — the plan is a joint video putting Cattus and the Mecha Team Leader back in the same scene, this time built entirely out of polymer clay instead of Epic’s game engine.
