Umh'aadhrolb

Breathing tastes quite bitter, but things are quiet. Copy, Captain, I see the air shimmering, it's like - Wait - Oh my f-- The last words of Corporal Oatefoot of the AntediluvianThe Umh'aadhrolb, also called The Maw, was a species of eldritch abomination from Devastate. The first Torillians to make contact with it were Lana Lancaster's crew.
They stood bipedal, six to seven feet hunched, with an emaciated body of dripping black, blue or bronze skin stretched taut over an assemblage of metal bones. They had slender crooked arms that ended in three jagged claws. They had no visible eyes, and their mouths took up most of their head, a slavering dripping maw of countless jagged teeth. They had a two tails that each ended in a single spike. 
They move near-silently and produce little to no body heat, even sometimes causing their surroundings to cool down. Maws were capable of powerful innate crypsis, where they could alter their body colouration to blend in to a background. 
Maws were apex predators to the extreme.
Maws hunted by sensing their prey's thermal presence - on Devastate, they hunted eopies, which resembled hairless snouted deer.
A large adult male Maw was summoned by Heinrich using the Vortex Translocator as part of The Serpent's Head's plans. It ravaged the throne room during the minute-or-so it was active. It killed Carruthers Geddington, Isabelle Lionheart, Telriel Chaufort, Ashlen Bocker, Captain Cassio, Kessar Truespear, Altor Mazander, and many others. What a kill count.
