Souhhu

__NOTOC__
==Souhhu, The Basilisk==
Souhhu is large reptilian earth demon, measuring about 5 meters from head to tail. She has 6 limbs: 4 legs she uses to crawl around and a pair of small arms. Her back is covered by long, thick brown hair. Souhhu can manipulate all types of mineral matter, including metals, and turn living organic matter into mineral. Maximum effective range of her power is over 40 meters, but the further from her the weaker and less precise it gets. Conveniently for her, her venom can serve as an anchor for her magic, and she can use it to manipulate objects on much greater distance.
Souhhu is very lazy and spends most of her time sleeping. Thanks to all suffering from the Chain Den she doesn’t have to do anything to gain sustenance, so she never goes to the surface (unless she is really bored). She hates bright light and loud noises. Reytt, the Warden of the Chain Den is one of the very few people she talks to. Over the years she shared with him some of her knowledge about magic and in return Reytt brings her the corpses of executed convicts. She loves eating them, despite not actually needing a physical food.
Souhhu is a demon and biologically has no gender. She uses female pronouns. As a demon she feeds on negative emotions, preferring suffering.
==Story==
The Queen of The Underground, Devourer of Suffering, Jailer of The Scourge, The Great Serpent of the Den, or simply, the Basilisk.
Through last decades Souhhu got many different titles she could not care less about. She was old, and only wanted to relax in peace, burying deep under Seru, a human city she once saved. One good deed, one time she teamed up with a god and humans gave her everything she ever wanted.
When the world was flooded my walking corpses and humans fled north Souhhu already lived there for centuries. Dragons, who also lived in the area, were terrified of her and did all they could to avoid her wrath. She had a great time toying with them and feeding on their primal animalistic fear, but once every few years she had to kill, or at least deeply wound a dragon who dared to approach her burrows. She did not wanted them to forget about her, but at the same time she was too lazy to be an actual, active threat to them. Then, the humans came, bringing a new source of fear and doubts she could prey on. Even better, the humans wanted her help in exchange for their emotions. She could live under their settlements undisturbed as long as annihilated the undead hordes approaching from south. A much easier and less energy-consuming job than fighting a dragon twice her size. Over time less and less undead came, and humans have build a city called Seru above her den. They carried on and Souhhu slept underground in peace.
Everything changed when the new Dragon King attacked. Polemos, what was his name, tried to destroy the city and kill all humans whom he considered weak and unworthy of living. In the past dragons feared her above anything else, but apparently Polemos who attacked Souhhu’s new benefactors was too young to remember her. All the suffering Polemos caused made her stronger than ever before and motivated her to fight for her peace and silence. A fire god Azeh, whom the human king called for help fought against the dragon warmonger in the skies, and as soon as the drake was forced to land, Souhhu showed him no mercy, turning all of his scales to stone.
When the city was repaired after the attack, a prison was build directly above Souhhu’s lair. Dark place where humans put their worst criminals and where all hatred, anger and despair cumulated. On the other side of Seru a great temple was build for Azeh, the golden phoenix, fire archgod who brought Polemos down and got all the credit and praise for their victory. Souhhu gave no damn about it. She had her own everlasting feast of agony, much better than any praise a demon could get.
