Rhan-Tegoth (Anacestra)

Rhan-Tegoth (Anacestra)

This monstrosity has a rounded a founded shell-like torse and long, sinuous limbs ending in crab-like claws. Its neck protrudes from one openning in its shell, long, muscalar and marked by gills. The head is spherical and has three unblinking eyes above a mass of flexible probosci. Its coloration seems to flow and change even while you look at it, turning from a pink, to yellow, to purple to something else entirely. The earth and air around it shimmers and bends, as if reality seeks to move away from its alien influence. The creatures shell is over ten feet in diameter and seems to be covered in a layer of slime which drips down its many legs. Each of its mouth tentacles ends in a long, hallow horn.

This Anacestra has a alien mind that sees other life as food. While considered an Ebominesa, it generally did not work with others. It sought to drain the life of others it encounter by sucking out all the vital fluids within.

Rhan Tegoth grows greatly in power when it has ample life to feed on. It is not particular about what sort of beings it drains. As it grows in power, its capabilities also grow. It becomes able to open gates and transport itself between planes and between planets. As it grows in power, its ability to warp reality around it makes it less and less susceptible to harm. It’s unclear just how powerful Rhan-Tegoth can get.
Rhan Tegoth has a natural ability to lie dormant for long periods of time when it does not have enough to eat. It curls up into its shell and slow takes on a stone-like appearance and strength. It can hibernate like this for ages, awakening only when an abundant food supply is nearby. While hibernating, it is all but indistinguishable from a statue and is, likewise, all but impervious to harm.

RHan Tegoth’s current fate is unknown. Divinations have determined that it lies, asleep, in some distant cavern. Its magic resistant aura has shielded it from further magics. Some believe it lays dormant on Aer, waiting for a food source that will never appear. Others believe it traveled to Aertrea, where it hides.
