Doomwyrm

The first Titan.

Doomwyrms are extra-planar beings who originated from the Breach Cataclysm and arrived through a gateway between their world and Oxum.
One of the so-called Eldritch Titans, the Doomwyrm was the very first reported member of this classification of Gate-Beings  after reported mass-disappearances within the central regions of the Realm of Monsters .
  Though only one member of this species has ever been reported, scientists and biologists speculate that this worm-like being is the apex predator of its native home.
This enormous Titan resembles a gigantic, fleshy worm with several spiked limbs protruding from its body and has been estimated to be around 250 meters long. It appears to be carnivorous in nature and able to resist large amounts of damage to its outer skin, though prolonged attacks seem to whittle down its toughened hide eventually.
"I tells ya, I ain't got no clue what that thing was, but it sure as Hells ain't an ordinary earthworm!" -Captain Grizzo, goblin airship pilot reporting his findings to the Sentinel Wall garrison.
  First spotted around 23 A.B. by a Goblinoid Confederation airship, it still resides within the inner regions of the Realm of Monsters in its underground lair where it hibernates for centuries until it requires to feed again. Though it bears the many scars and wounds from engagements with Breach Security forces, it has yet to be permanently slain.

Basic Information

Anatomy

The creature resembles the body structure of a combination between a worm and a serpent, with a long muscular body it uses to move around terrain and a large gaping mouth it uses to feed.
Several dozens of arm-like limbs cover the length of its body, which the wyrm uses as extra grip when crossing steep terrain or to pick off individual prey.
Its body is covered in a dark-coloured leathery hide which is tough to pierce with conventional weapons, though firearms seem to have a decent chance of reaching the softer tissue underneath.

Growth Rate & Stages

It is unknown whether or not the observed Doomwyrm is a young or old member of its species, although the most recent observations have indicated the wyrm has slightly grown in length of the thousands of years it has resided on Oxum.
This indicates that the wyrm has a very long lifespan and is presumed to be an adult, though it may yet grow in the future should it awaken and hunt down more prey.

Ecology and Habitats

The Doomwyrm appears to feel comfortable living near the central parts of the Realm of Monsters, so it is presumed certain elements found here resemble areas from its home world.
Its lair has been determined to be a set of large caverns formed in a mountain range close to The Gate of Monsters where it retreats to once it feels the need to digest its meal and hibernate.
The wyrm only appears to venture outside of this region whenever it needs to hunt.
