Shash'Nyn the Destroyer
Class: Minotaur, Status: Alive
Class: Minotaur, Status: Alive
Story
Typically just called "The Destroyer", Shash'Nyn has been a nightmare of Kalg'rai since its earliest days. Nobody truly knows how this fearsome being came to be, but what they do know is that Shash'Nyn has had a record of tearing apart any who approach him so far. He is in fact so feared, that there is no real bounty on him, but it is universally understood that the first person who beats him will achieve fame across Kalg'rai. Who knows just how much money will be made...
Shash'Nyn's first fearsome feat was the raiding of Vaarys. Shash'Nyn attacked during Vaary's first attack from creatures of the mountain. Nobody noticed his approach until he was there. If not for him, Vaarys would have successfully fended off the entire attack, however the minotaur proved more than what the entire city could handle, and as such, nearly destroyed the city as a whole. Shash'Nyn was weakened after the battle, however, and left before they successfully defeated him. Since then, Shash'Nyn has been found very rarely throughout Kalg'rai. He is never alone; typically with ten to fifteen other minotaurs that worship him like a god. It is thought that other minotaurs do in fact think of the Destroyer as a god, and with each story told of Shash'Nyn, humans and metahumans alike are starting to think of this beast as the Minotaur God.
Attributes
- Weapon: Warhammer
- Magic: Ice breath, completely immune to any form of magic
- Height, Weight Class: 10'5", Super-Heavyweight
Aside from the atypical weapon of choice, complete immunity to any kind of magic, and unnatural height, Shash'Nyn also is also unnaturally colored. While most would have a brown colored fur, or even black, Shash'Nyn's fur is completely white, and his eyes are completely gold. Each breath he gives off produces a frost, implying that he has the ability to breathe frost and ice, possibly in contradiction to a dragon's fire breath. It appears that Shash'Nyn also has strength that exceeds any regular minotaur's, as well as speed is much faster.
Behavior and Habitat
The Destroyer is the only one of his kind, making him next to impossible to find. Though that isn't a problem, because any who cross paths with the beast do not make it back to tell the tale. The last time Shash'Nyn was found was during the attack on Vaarys. Since then, Shash'Nyn has been the creature of people's nightmares. People hope that they don't live the day to see the creature, and those that are still alive from the attack on Vaarys are scarred far too much to tell of its horrific feats. If they would, they well tell of Shash'Nyn's plucking limbs off of comrades, smashing skulls with his hammer, and far darker tactics that the creature used to instill fear into the people of Vaarys after they thought they were doing so well.
Where the creature resides, very few know. Divination Adepts prefer not to figure it out, either, to avoid curiosity of themselves and other people, to protect both themselves and others. Many believe that the creature is slumbering as of late, and fear that if awakened, he will wreck havoc all over the lands once more, but this time until humans are extinct.
