Numinex

Born as a legendary member of his kin, the Numinex uses its power to guard the passages that lead towards the center of Larysia, towards the Heart of Grá.
== Appearance ==
The Numinex is a colossal member of the dragons, as he has grown to lengths of up to fifty meters. Three heads sprout from his shoulders. The dragon's scales are an ancient black and sharp spines line its back. It has very small wings for its size and is more serpentine than most dragons, this is so it can maneuver through the caverns at staggering speeds. The dragon's eyes are pure white with no pupils. Its teeth are a deep granite gray and look like small stalagmites. 
== Background ==
Following the Great Upheaval, Numinex was born on Larysia. At the size of a horse at birth alongside its three heads, the Numinex garnered a reputation as the fiercest of dragons. It traveled Larysia challenging those dragons foolish enough to leave the Dragon Forest. Eventually when the forests were empty and scared of Numinex's power, he traveled to the Long River. It is here that he met the Leviathan. The unfathomable power that the Leviathan possessed frightened the Numinex and forced him to retreat into the deeps caverns of the volcanic island. 
Becoming lost in the endless maze of caverns the Numinex gave up hope of escape. After decades of being stuck wandering the caverns hoping to find the exit the Numinex found the exit. When he tried to leave he discovered he had grown too large to leave, should he try to force his way out the cavern would collapse on top of him.
He spent several more decades in these caverns, killing all the other lost dragons he came across. After finishing off a dragon, the bones from its corpse reanimated and began walking towards something in the cavern. The Numinex followed the bones and found a boneyard. The mountains of bones that encompassed the room were countless. In the center was a large, rocky, beating heart. When the Numinex came within a certain distance of the heart the bones sprung to life. The skeletons of undead dragons surrounded the Numinex before the heart stopped beating and the bones collapsed. 
Unsure of what quite was going on, the Numinex heard a voice. The voice introduced itself as Grá. Sounding quite jolly towards the prospect of a new being approaching him Grá asked for the Numinex's name. When the Numinex gave it to him Grá told him that he could live forever if he would guard his most valuable treasure, the Heart of Grá. The Heart of Grá was a living stone of unknowable power and it is said that contact with the stone will invoke the toucher to receive knowledge and power that would ascend them to godhood.
The Numinex accepted and now lives in these great and dark caverns guarding the Heart of Grá.
