The Malformed

Created during the First Era on Sheighorash, The Malformed is a vaguely humanoid being that was made as an offensive tool against the settlers on New Sheoth. The Rasans that created it had the intention of it being a Holy Guardian, but there was nothing holy about The Malformed. Cast in a broken and beaten matrix with gold, The Malformed was set to harden in the sun. It is assumed that the being that created other Guardians mistakenly created this one, or had intended to use it to turn it against its creators. But upon the rising of The Malformed, it is written that it stood before collapsing to its arms letting out a blood curling shriek. Afterwards, it slaughtered those that stood before it, those that sought its containment for study and military ranks were also decimated. It would be a long time before the Malformed has been spotted again, but in the Third Era after a series of sightings near where Raven Rock now lies, the few remaining Holy Guardians pursued it, looking to capture it. After surrounding the beast, the Guardians were then killed in a shocking display of power.

Since the Third Era, nobody has witnessed The Malformed. Though some reports say that its nightmare inducing roar can be heard in the darkness. The origins of The Malformed is also something to marvel, being that it is the only Holy Guardian to have been created by those not of New Sheoth's settlements. City officials advise that any witnessing of The Malformed is heavily suggested to be reported immediately. Locals think that The Malformed hay dwell somewhere within the abandoned fortress on the Island of Horus. This has yet to be explored. Appearance: The reports of The Malformed say that it is approximately 10-15 feet long, bares a hunched back and scrawny limbs. The legs resemble those seen in animals and claws like that of a sickle. Some reports of it state having a long skinny tail baring a bony display. Though reports are few, there have been encounters of adventurers seeing its face. Though greatly grotesque and misshapen, The Malformed's face is said to look like the great Rasan emperor, Lord Howe Les'Tremant. This is largely put off as a satirical remark to bolster the image of the invading Rasans. Like the other Holy Guardians, The Malformed has a yellow-gold aura emitting from it, though in its case, The Malformed has a more dulled down aura. The lingual skills of The Malformed seem to have a very rudimentary version of Celestial. The Third Era reports state that it may speak a very broken version of Common with a single report saying it spoke "Pain" and "Hatred.
