Sillician Behemoth

Introduction

  The Behemoth is a guardian to the servants of the Three at large, but more specifically it guards the Sillicians. Its primary purpose is to scare off anyone foolish enough to try attacking the Sillicians, but the Behemoth is more than capable of defeating just about any threat. It is an amphibious creature that uses the waterways of the world to quickly travel wherever the threat to the Sillicians is greatest.   It possesses an elevated intelligence, and communicates through telepathy. It is also capable of telepathic warfare and prefers using its mind to ward off attacks on itself or the Sillicians it guards. The Behemoth is easily able to determine the intentions of beings around it. Through this telepathic discernment, the Behemoth is able to target those with evil intentions.   It progresses through stages of aggression in response to an intruder threatening those under the protection of the Behemoth. First, the creature shows itself. Then it bares all three rows of teeth. The final warning before an attack is the creature preparing to charge. After all three warnings have been given, then the creature charges by spinning on its bottom shell and crashing into its target.

Basic Information

Anatomy

The Sillician Behemoth is similar to turtles in many ways. It possesses four legs, a tail, and a long neck. All these appendages extend from a central shell. The shell is a top and bottom portion joined together. The top of the shell is coated in rocks and sand. It appears to be a portion of the bottom of the ocean settled on the back of the Behemoth. In the center of the shell is a singular boulder.   The Behemoth has three sets of teeth. The primary set is always visible and used to catch and devour prey. The secondary and tertiary sets of teeth appear when the Behemoth is preparing for combat. Both of these sets are retractable and are allow the Behemoth to easily tear apart even armored threats. The Behemoth also possesses five foot claws that emerge when needed. These claws will come out when the Behemoth needs to grasp something, or if the Behemoth is preparing for battle.

Ecology and Habitats

The Behemoth ranges over the entirety of Vitcoona. It prefers to travel by water, but it will venture onto land as needed. It is comfortable both in freshwater and saltwater. It prefers temperate lands, but it can survive anywhere so long as it has access to water.

Dietary Needs and Habits

This creature prefers to eat fish, but it is capable of consuming any kind of meat. It has no preference to a type of fish. Also, anything that swims in the water is valid prey to the Behemoth. Thankfully, there are very specific circumstances required before it will consume meat that is not fish-flesh.

Additional Information

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

The Sillician Behemoth gives off an aura of fear and unease. This is used to deter intruders and those who would be a threat to the creature. The aura can be directed by the Behemoth, but due to its immense size those in its presence are always naturally afraid.   The Behemoth is an Arch-Telepath. It is capable of projecting its thoughts anywhere on Vitcoona. The Behemoth will use its telepathy as its first method of attack, but it will not hesitate to get physical if the physical route is what is needed to chase off intruders.
