The Divine Beasts

The Divine Beasts refers to the seven beings created after Azaban, The Beast Primordial, had it's seven heads severed by the Omnigod Z'or'aq'ith.

### Origin

When Zek began killing the Primordials, Ifrit decided to lead the campaign to protect what primordials were left. When it became clear that Zek had no chance at defeating Ifrit in combat, Crunky created Z'or'aq'ith and tasked him with defeating Ifrit and ultimately Azaban. After defeating Ifrit, Z'or'aq'ith attempted to kill Azaban with the Omniblade, a blade created by the Time Engineer to in theory be able to kill the Beast Primordial. Unfortunately, even Z'or'aq'ith, commonly considered the strongest of the Omnigods, was still unable to kill Azaban with the Omniblade. What he was able to do however, was sever Azaban's seven heads, thus creating the seven Divine Beasts. The body of the headless Azaban, now no longer considered a Primordial, was to be sealed away deep in Earth's crust, and the seven divine beasts, unaware of their heritage, were to be sent into the Crunkiverse to fight in the War of Gods.

### During and after the War of Gods

#### King Mastadonius

After he and his brothers were created upon the severing of Azaban's heads, he alongside them was sent to fight in the War of Gods, however he did not care for war and quickly deserted. King Mastadonius deserted the war in search of a greater purpose, which eventually lead him to meeting Charmadeus, an ancient light primordial, who gifted him with greater intelligence. With this intelligence, King Mastadonius learned of Azaban and realized that if he were to slay the sixth other Divine Beasts he would be able to gain the power of The Beast Primordial and could try to ascend to Omnigodhood. He quickly began his mission to track down and kill his brothers. The first Divine Beast he would find and battle was Titanoth. Upon defeating Titanoth, King Mastadonius became strong enough to take the God Exam and became a minor god. Over the course of the next few Millenia, he battled and defeated Matekinas and Inyan. Upon absorbing their powers, King Mastadonius became the strongest God of Crunkiverse 00A. He is currently searching for the three other Divine Beasts.

#### The Chauffeur

After his creation, the Destruction Beast was sent to take part in the War of Gods where he wreaked havoc in The Wildlands and Gramble Grove. After the war was over, Z'or'aq'ith agreed to send him to the Asphalt Plane, where he was later given his name The Chauffeur. Currently, The Chauffeur is the only being residing in the Asphalt Plane, for after his transport there nearly all the ancestors of the Wheelmasters were slaughtered, prompting what few remained to flee to Crunkiverse 00A.

#### Yarotep

After his creation, Yarotep fought in the War of Gods. It is unknown at present what he did after the war, but it is known that when he found out about King Mastadonius's plot to kill the Divine Beasts, he fled deep into the Wildlands and hid there for many millenia. During his hiding, he plotted to defeat King Mastadonius and beat him at his own game, prompting him to create the Shapeshifters, a race of lesser beasts, to assist him in gaining intelligence on a sacred artifiact capable of killing a god.

#### Titanoth

Titanoth, during the War of Gods, was used to destroy many fortresses with it's massive size and powerful tusks, giving it the secondary title of the Siege Beast. After the conclusion of the war, he wandered the Wildlands and acted like a normal mammoth, and created it's descendent races: Mammoths, Lesser Behemoths, and Lesser Titans. Once King Mastadonius found him, they fought for 4 days and was ultimately defeated. His tusks were then used to make the sacred artifact known as Titan Armor.

#### Inyan

During the war, Inyan served mainly as a fortress for foot soldiers, giving it the secondary title of the Fortress Beast. After the war, Inyan was dormant for many millenia. During this time, many races and tribes inhabited the ruined caverns that were once mighty fortifications. Also during this time, he created the lesser golems to protect him from harm. Once King Mastadonius had found him and fought him, the lesser golems stood no chance and it took several days for him to be defeated on account of him being as big as a mountain and made of the same stuff. After his defeat, his body became what is known as Mount Inya, occasionally creating earthquakes to this very day, and some lesser golems still roam the tunnels.

#### Niamoro

During the war, Niamoro was tasked with terrorizing enemy naval forces, a story that is told in legends by fishermen today. After the war was over, Niamoro went to the greatest depths of earth and created many lesser beasts such as the Seasquatch, the Collosal Sea Snail, and Bjorn's Octopus. Once King Mastadonius began his quest to slay the other divine beasts, he hired the greatest fishermen from across the known universe to capture Niamoro. All but one survived, the fisherman known as Redfin Kabernash, who managed to take one of Niamoro's teeth.

#### Matekinas

During the war, Matekinas was used to create week foot soldiers, believed to be the now extinct Soldier Squatch. After the war, Matekinas fled to a nearby forest, known at the time as the Forest of Incanta. His mere presence in the forest caused it to grow to an incredible size in only a couple decades, He then created several of the lesser beasts that inhabit the now Forest of Three Paths such as Lesser Sasquatchs, Drakes, Winged Sloths, Incantan Wolverines, and the now extinct Stanksquatch. Once King Mastadonius had found him, his defeat was certain. The battle was short, and the skeleton of Matekinas eventually became the location where the first Tree of Life would sprout.
