Ophiotaurus

The Ophiotaurus is a primordial, cosmic beast resembling an enormous bull. It is a creation figure in Askedorian mythology responsible for the origin of the material world. The largest ocean of the known world is named after this mythical being."In Askedoria there is a widespread ancient Agrauran myth, according to which the Universe emerged from the torn body of the Ophiotaurus, the creature devoured by the Double-Crested Panther. The myth does not speculate about what existed before these two cosmic entities, and as poets say: 'Bold are the mortals who sing about the origin of all things, but not even Gods dare to sing about what was there before'. From the blood, the seed, the flesh, the bones, the lymph, the cartilages, the tendons and every single part of the Ophiotaurus, all the things- that-are were born, from the Immortal Gods to every grain of sand."
