Message: <blockquote data-quote="Knightfall" data-source="post: 9862913" data-attributes="member: 2012">For [USER=87106]@MetaVoid[/USER] Only:[SPOILER="Rockhorn's Monster Lore"]Looking at the creature beyond the double doors, what Rockhorn can see of it in the eerie glow of Kellam's unnatural magic behind it, the creature was once simian, likely a dire ape. Rockhorn can't tell if there is intelligence in this creature, as its eyes are in shadow, but Rockhorn sense there is more than animal instinct in it. Rockhorn sense evil and it is very primal. This isn't just a pseudonaturally-warped creature. This is something much worse, much darker.When it roars, its form flickers. The tentacles Rockhorn sees aren't... there. Not really. Yet, he instinctively knows that the creature could, in a moments notice, shift its forms to what would likely be a mass of tentacles. Rockhorn notes that its dire form is tinged with an abyssal reddish-black. This isn't a dire ape, it is an abyssal dire ape that has been either summoned or gated from the Unseen Abyss, which makes it even more deadly.Rockhorn's memories flood back to his first few years training with his people. Once, in the deepest part of the jungles of his homeland, a hunting group being led by an old mentor came across a deep cave that seemed to be charged with static, but not electric static. Rockhorn's old mentor led the way inside. At the time, Rockhorn didn't know what to think of what was being south, being hunted. Bu his mentor warmed him that "this is no mere beast or aberration... be wary".The elder led Rockhorn and the hunters into the deepest part of the cave, almost a mile down. There, in the dark, they find a portal to somewhere, else. Bones were strew around the portal, which flickered like the creature standing down the corridor. Then, a massive beast roared from the other side and rushed through to overwhelm the hunters. Fear filled the room and it shifted its form into a deadly mass of tentacles. Weapons could not seem to hurt it. Even the elder's magical spear barely hurt the creature. It tore through the group of hunters and Rockhorn was sure he was going to die.Then the elder, his mentor, yelled out to Rockhorn and the last few hunters. "Run! Flee! You cannot stand against the Eon-Scarred! Warn our people! Seal the cave!" He rushes at the deadly creature and, somehow, manages to push it back towards the portal. The creature roared again and grappled its tentacles around the elder and began crushing the life out of the man. Two of the hunters charged forward to help and all tumbled through the portal, which flashed and shimmered with a horrible light. A horrible green light.Rockhorn and last hunter somehow managed to flee back to the surface and returned back to his people. A war party is dispatched. Rockhorn was not allowed to go. Only a handful came back, but they said the portal flickered out of existence and they collapsed the cave. Those that came back were left with deep scars, both physically and mental. The clans great leader tells them that Eon-Scarred are deadly denizens that come from beyond the stars and are children of the Eonic Fiends. - - -Phelix's Son is an Abyssal Dire Ape that is also Eon-Scarred....Eon-Scarred (basics): Outsider; DR/Magic and Epic; Spell Resistance; Acid and Electricity Resistance; Rend and Constrict; True Strike; Alternate Form -> mass of tentacles w/50% miss chance.Abyssal Static: Eon-Scarred act as localized anchors for the Elderbrood of the Unseen Abyss. There presence causes the air to curdle with the noxious scent of ozone and ancient decay, while its silhouette flickers with the reach of the Unseen Abyss.[/SPOILER]</blockquote>
