The Stryija

==Appearance==
The Stryija, much like a singular leon, is a huge quadruped, standing 20 feet tall and 30 from head to tail. It is genderless, as it is the only one of its kind. Grotesque bat wings erupt from its back, striped and striated all shades of purple and red. Its eyes have no pupils, and are instead a solid, menacing violet. Two bloody fangs that resemble those of a smilodon's jut from its upper lips. Its hindquarters are in a perpetual state of dripping with gore and blood, and its long tail resembles a knotted stretch of raw muscle stripped from a living thing. Notably, the end of its tail bears a perpetually burning flame, which absorbs all light around it.
==Abilities==
The Stryija was created on accident by the Lifeblood, as a potential counter to fire and light. However, the darkness used to create it caused it to become violent, bloodthirsty, and ferocious. The only known method of calming it is through music. Thankfully, it sleeps for thousands of years at a time.

*It is nearly tireless, and can run or fly for weeks straight.
*It is exceptionally intelligent, and while not sapient, can organize and execute plans and ambushes on its own.
*Its tail absorbs light and warmth, causing the air to drop drastically in temperature when it approaches.
