Jo'Reler - Threshur Queen

As mysterious and deadly as her colorful forest kingdom in the Southern Jungles, Jo'Reler is the queen high ruler of the sentient plant race of pygmies known as the Threshurs. Long ago during the Three Tribes War, Jo'Reler used her control of all things plant matter to create a nearly impenetrable barrier around the borders of her kingdom to protect her tribe from the advancing hordes of both the Vekkinsear and the Grah'Thor tribes. Able to sprout thorns, vines, and various other plant matter from her body at will, she is a fierce combatant. Her many long vine like appendages make getting close to her vulnerable core almost impossible. When her fighting skills fail her, Jo'Reler is able to breathe flammable spores which ignite upon contacting the air, creating a deadly fire burst. During this distraction, the queen will quickly retreat underground to fight another day.

Steam Pits Alpha Guardian: Overlord Vraxxonius Steam-Sayer

During the dark dawn countless millennia ago before many of the creatures inhabiting Zool had even begun to stir, Overlord Vraxxonius Steam-Sayer was nestled deep within the magma drenched caverns of the Steam Pits. An ancient hulk; some whisper it was born of pure heat from the planet’s core. Its old molten calls drew proto-beasts to his domain and over time they evolved into its vast army of sentinels known as the Vekkinsear Guardians.

Once a millennium Vraxxonius rebirths his consciousness into a new progeny. For up to a hundred years this new offspring is most vunerable but armed with the ancient knowledge of its past incarnations. During this time Vraxxonius’ territorial rival, Nuh Tkeupar, fresh from birthing its own synchronized offspring, roams the Steam Pits looking to secure its newborn’s future. A millennial ritual death battle occurs between the two and though the victor will inevitably die soon after from it’s final act of birthing, it secures the balance of power in the region.

Overlord Vraxxonious is largely immobile do to its titanic size and biology. It draws the power of the magma through its under belly gills for sustenance which also keeps the outlets of volcanic activity from overburdening the region and destroying it. The Overlord’s giant torso-maw, which are lined with razor obsidian stalagmites and stalactites, shakes the core of the Steam Pits with its deafening territorial calls. It’s open mouth has been mistaken for a cavern by many unfortunate Turar'zul that are trained and live along side the Overlord and his guardians. Twenty piercing eyes see beyond normal sight and some believe that it controls the will of its Vekkinsear Guardians and turns other creatures running in hysteria from the outskirts of it’s lair.

The fate of Zool itself weighs heavily upon the existence of Overlord Vraxxonius Steam-Sayer and is believed it’s as much a part of the planet as the land, sea and air.
