Ye olde Corpse Churner

"Who is my good boy?
Yes!
You are it, Fido!"

Rex Tarr

Basic Information

Anatomy

Corpse Churner appears as the mighty skeleton of the legendary dragons of history Dragos are said to be descendants of.
Its bones appear grey, nearly granite, much denser than steel. Neither flesh nor muscles keep the Corpse churner in one piece, no.
Moreso a concentrated aura of Necromancy fumes has wrapped itself around the skeleton forming working muscles and giving the wings the possibility to keep the corpus in the air.
The empty eyes in the dragon skull are glowing like hungry unholy ghostly flames seeking with its burning pupils prey to kill and raise once more as a minion.
The Corpse Churner is a quadrupedal monster eager to destroy and annex everything that moves to its evergrowing row of devote servants keeping the bones shiny and the breath mouldy.

Dietary Needs and Habits

"I feast of the dread and despair of my enemies.
My breakfast is fear, my dinner hopelessness.
And my dessert...the screams of begging for my mercy."

Fido

Additional Information

Geographic Origin and Distribution

Churner got first formed as the result of the Pulse of Vengance twisting the whole region into an undead nightmarish realm.
Quickly finding its match in Supreme Abolisher Rex Tarr Churner remained in the East-Rubeus to this very day protecting the region and its master.

Average Intelligence

Ye olde Corpse Churner is a wise sapient creature capable of speaking many languages of all ages. As it is the case with most legendary beasts Churner was around since it first manifested out of the Veil 4000 years ago, making the bone dragon one of the youngest representatives of the arcane.
Unlike most other mythical beings, Churner hadn't chosen a champion to grant its arcane powers to and experienced therefore never the cycle of rebirth. It much rather found in Rex Tarr partner, who it respects as an equal.
Churner attempted many times to grant its partner its mystic powers giving up its body to evolve further within Tarr's soul, but as he was already undead since they first met, that was an impossible feat to accomplish.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

"If you feel Churner's oppressive presence, you can be sure you got spotted a while ago. Master's lap-dragon has an unreal awareness of its surroundings."

Deathknight
Churner utilizes the dense and saturated atmosphere of the Deadlands to expand its body to cover most of the region. Every necromancy fume flowing through the air could be utilized like an eye, nostril or ear of the dragon. The guardian of its master's capital city can actually have its eyes and ears everywhere it pleases.

Legendary creatures

The Veil has its way of coping with unusual events by releasing tremendous amounts of ligaments of a specific source.
Such grave events results usually in the birth of a unique creature afterwards created to take in the vast amounts of ligaments stabilizing the arcane world once more.
Ye olde Corpse Churner was one of such coping mechanisms balancing the scales shaken up by the Pulse.
As it is the case with all creations of the Veil, the legendary creatures seek a stable connection to the world as well, finding a champion powerful to best them to grant their essence, wisdom and magical abilities growing stronger and stronger with each circle of partnership and reformation.

Churner underwent exactly zero of such circles, as it was literally unable to grant its powers to the one besting them.

This seems very much a demigod level malign entity. Yikes!
