Behemoth

Basic Information

Anatomy

Enormous quadrupedal beasts that have large hunched shoulders and large arms flanking the head and neck and the tail is extremely long and separates the legs which are placed on the opposite sides of their body. Around the outer sides of their body is a thick rock shell while the underbelly is made from condensed magma and actively spew lava from millions of points. The tail is thick and wide and ends in a large hand which has large claws at the end of each of the 6 fingers which. The arms are proportionately enormous each being the same size as the rest of the body each. The entire forearm are both shaped like half a hemisphere each with extremely dense and strong stone like shell. The hands are slightly human like with 3 fingers and a long thumb coming off of the wrist. The heads are short and connect to short and thick necks. The Jaws and Maw of the head is very wide and is filled with thousands of rows of alternating rows of revolving teeth leading down the throat while the jaws have a massive pair of tusks that jut out of the lower jaw and a massive set of fangs around the gums which have a slight curve.

Biological Traits

Thanks to their immense size they have immense strength being able to shatter planets and in groups tug and move stars like dogs do a sleigh. Their speed is also great needing months to reach max speed which allows them to cross universes in a few weeks. They also have the ability to disappear and reappear in the form of teleportation though this takes a few seconds. Their flesh is similar in consistency to leather but is strong enough to withstand swimming in stars. The shell meanwhile was strong enough to survive supernova. The shell is also coated in thorns and spikes of different patterns and shapes, unique to the individual. These spikes, along with the claws and teeth are extremely sharp, capable of carving cleanly through entire planetoids made of Tungsten.
