Therion

**Therion** is the Primordial Beast considered to be the first monster within all of Creation as well as the monstrous and most primal side of God.

## Overview

Therion was born before the Primeval Wars, having been one of the Primordials who waged war against God in an attempt to prevent the creation of the cosmos. Therion is a true monster, similar to Azathoth, being an eldritch creature, more specifically, the Primordial personification of hunger, horror, fear, and bestiality, as the shadow of Barbelo.

Therion during the Primeval Wars was defeated by God, with his true body being forced and imprisoned into the Bottomless Abyss, sealed with a key that would later be given to Abaddon. However, during the war, God with His attacks ripped off pieces of the Primal Beast, hurling several smithereens of the beast into the endless void.

Therion is also responsible for the origin of most of the terrifying primeval beasts mentioned by biblical and Talmudic figures, such as Livyatan, the sea serpent; the Behemoth, the master of the earth, as well as Caelum and Babalon, who is his intellegence.

The food chain is said to exist for everyone, including the Primordials. Therion is the natural predator of primordials and more specifically of creation gods like God, Life and Barbelo. Therion is a primordial savage beast that exists as a predator of the creation gods and its role is to devour the god of the gods, Yesh.

## Appearance

When taking a physical form, Therion appear as a huge monstrous beast for indeterminate species. With a mixture of mammalian, reptilian, avian, fish-like, and even bug-like features. The body of Therion is constantly shifting between different monsters, as its almost animalistic drive to devour everything doesn't allow it to keep a consistent figure.

## Personality

Therion hasn't shown much emotions outside of animalistic rage a desire for destruction of everything. A few cosmic entities have stated that Therion has an intelligence similar to that of God, however this has yet to be demonstrated. Therion utterly despises Barbelo, wanting to dethrone her so he can be on his own.

Therion is a terrible monster, similar to Azathoth, externally and internally. He is a beast that devours God's creation out of pleasure and revenge on God for what he did to him and his monsters. Despite being similar in nature, Therion is utterly disgusted by and hates Azathoth, knowing fully well the madness the Daemon Sultan is capable of causing, and that he doesn't care about his creations nor consort at all. He is even willing to temporary team up with his siblings if it would mean to destroy him.

Also unlike the Daemon Sultan, he does not want to completely destroy Creation. He is only preparing the ground for Ayin to destroy Creation, and then rebuild in their likeness. He also loves to see his particles grow and kill people.

## History

During the start of Creation, God was formed from the unmade universe saying "the Word." When God looked into the primordial waters and saw His reflection, seeing His perfect and co-equal reflection, the Holy Spirit who is also the embodiment of the spirit of the Lord, Barbelo, who, seeing the beauty of the Almighty, fell in love with Him and came out of the waters of chaos towards the Most High. However, Barbelo had looked behind her as God did, and she noticed her shadow within the primordial waters. This shadow took form and became the Primal Beast, Therion. Therion is the shadow of a reflection, a mutation of a copy, two layers separated from the ultimate good.

When Azathoth declared the Primeval Wars against the Abrahamic God, Therion also joined the battle on the side of Ayin and the Darkness, in an attempt to destroy the worlds born of God's will. While God fought Azathoth and Khaos, Barbelo was responsible for fighting Therion, her shadow, trying to force him to return to her. However, Therion wanted to dethrone the light and his alter ego. After clashes in the depths of the primeval pits, Barbelo could not defeat Therion, as both were the same being and the Goddess of Creation could not defeat herself, God decided to unite with Barbelo and with the Sword of Extinction was able to cut the Dark Beast's body into thousands of pieces and cast them into the depths of the abyss.

While his body was split, his intelligence remained, this intelligence taking the form of the Babalon. She hid in the shadows carefully planning to bring Therion back to his true form. This careful planning would eventually pay off during the Apocalypse, where every piece of Therion would finally come together again. With its form back to how it was, Therion would once again pursue his goal to devour every last bit of God's creation.
