Tobzoshkuh Titan Species in Tacillia | World Anvil

Tobzoshkuh Titan

The tobzoshkuh titan is the larger, hungrier, and more feral version of the regular tobzoshkuh. The wanderers and the scholars are still determining whether the titan version of the tobzoshkuh is a separate species or ordinary individuals of tobzoshkuh changed by some external power to ravage the skat'ra plains from time to time. The current reasoning is that these titans might be the cursed versions of the regular creatures.
The size of the tobzoshkuh titan is enormous. Especially compared to the regular ones. They stand 10-12 feet high and 20-25 feet long. Like their smaller cousins, their bodies are still covered with scales but are much tougher to penetrate. They have the same claws. They are just much more prominent because of the size difference. The most significant change is their mouth. Instead of having an extremely long tongue with a relatively smaller mouth, the titans have a much bigger mouth with two rows of teeth, further reinforcing their predator nature. A couple of titans were dissected in the past, and the skat'ra scholars didn't find any reproductive organs that looked similar to the regular ones - further confirming the theory that these beasts are the product of some outside force.
Nobody knows where and how they can grow to this enormous size. The only certainty with their origin is that they are born or made within the planet, because they appear every 7-9 years from beneath the lands of the skat'ra and swarm their hills to eat as many workers, warriors, and sometimes queens too. The only defense against them is the specialized forces of the Sentinels, who are trained for years to fight and kill regular and titan tobzoshkuh.
Those skat'ra, who are capable of emotions, fear these creatures. However, they also acknowledge that these titans are one of those animals that can threaten the skat'ra society and welcome the challenge these animals pose.

I haven't fought a titan before. I haven't seen them either, not even from afar. But what I heard about them makes fighting them face-to-face nothing but suicide. However, there is a tactic that can be used effectively against them. They fear damage from elemental sources - fire, cold, etc. With the help of a fast cavalry and a magic user in a coordinated attack, the titans can be defeated handily. The cavalry opens the attack with their charge. When they are close enough to a titan, the magic users cast something that can cause the titan to curl up into a ball, and this is the time when the cavalry finishes their charge and causes damage to the titan. They might have to follow up on this charge a couple of times, but the titans are not intelligent enough to learn this tactic until it is too late.
