Howling Scourge

The Howling Scourge is a monstrous being created by Narzhak, to be unleashed in the event that Galbar becomes too stagnant for the Iron God's liking.Creation of the Howling Scourge - https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/4903970
== Description ==
Immense even among the great beasts wrought by divine hand, the Scourge towers over hill and forest, vast enough to flatten boulders underfoot and clog rivers with its mere passage. In spite of its titanic size, however, none that see it can properly describe its shape. It is long and creeping like a worm, sturdy and thick-limbed like a boar, and has many grasping arms like a squid and many gnashing mouths, but beyond this any attempt to define its seemingly solid, yet ever subtly shifting guise breaks down. Its skin is coarse and grey like rock, and appears just as hard; veins of the colour of molten stone run along it, though they do not radiate any heat.
More fearsome yet than its appearance is the churning abyss of rage at the heart of the monstrosity. Acting in the stead of a cognisant mind, it drives the beast to destroy and rampage over all that it encounters, requiring it to be kept subdued or sedated by supernal forces to prevent it from embarking on an unending path of ruin. The primal hatred for all being spills over into the Scourge's howls and roars, so that any that hear its voice are driven into a blind, murderous fury, unless their will is strong enough to resist unnatural compulsion. Catching only a distant echo may cause one to lapse for but a few moments, but exposure to it from up close will cloak the minds of lesser beings in crimson haze for the brief remainder of their violent lives, as those ensorcelled by it forget even to eat or sleep.
