Beast Battle 19

Summoned Beast:
Hook Bug

Lore:
The Corpus Callosum Realm is home to many different insects but none are as plentiful as the subterranean dwelling Hook Bug. Underground caves and tubes run throughout the land and you can be sure to find these tiny insects inhabiting these areas. Because of the insect’s unusually long life span, Hook Bugs are able to migrate each year through the under ground mazes back to their spawning ground in the Cave Spire region. This annual ritual is a feeding frenzy for its natural predators when billions of the insects arrive from all stretches of the world. It can glide long distances and grab onto the porous walls with its hook tipped legs yet is still no match for the lightning quick grasp of the local Frahkis inhabitants.

Dik'lis

Lore:

It's a Tie!

Summoned Beast:
Fathmador

Lore:
Swimming among the giants reeds off the coast of the Hathnor Swamps the Fathmador is a sleek predator. Working in small pods the aquatic beasts are able to take down much larger prey. With stealthy precision Fathmadors bolt from the camouflaged cover of the reeds and attack unsuspecting targets. With the blood of victory rushing through their gills and a full stomach, the Fathmadors recede into the shadows and lay in wait for their next unfortunate victim.

Summoned Beast:

The Talpidae

Lore:

Living in the outskirts of the Southern Jungles lays the Talpidae. This unusual creature is one of the few known herbivores in the Corpus Callosum realm, and its diet mostly consists of the various fruits and berries that are readily available only near the cliffs of the Filluimian Sea, which separates the Southern Jungles and the Frost Reaches. Since most of the jungle creatures are nocturnal by nature, the Talpidae is also one of the few diurnal beings commonly found in the region. It has impeccable hearing, and its sense of smell is amazingly acute, as the Talpidae can pickup scents from at least a mile away. When threatened or done foraging for food, the creature will quickly burrow deep into the soft earth and can lie there dormant for several days without food or water.

Summoned Beast:

Grah’Thor

Lore:
A veteran of the 3 Tribes War which ripped the territorial divides into new borders so many years ago, the Grah’Thor are a fierce warrior race. Bred for battle on the rugged Outback Region this centaur-like creature has four natural armor plates that protect its face and two that shield its shoulders. Its beefy arms on its upright torso have hoofs that are used with its horse-like rear to charge its enemies. When it comes to grasping objects the Grah’Thor has a small set of two fingered hands and arms that grow out of its abdomen. Its large mouth can devour smaller creatures whole. The length of the Grah’Thor’s beard is a symbol of strength and rank within the tribe. When out numbered the Grah’Thor often emits the traditional and thunderous battle cry of “Oh’moe” to build strength within it.

Summoned Beast:
Frahkis

Lore:
Found in the Cave Spires region is a creature that spends most of its time in the dark. The Frahkis is a small quadruped that is very efficient at climbing the walls and fixtures inside the deep caverns of the area. A wealth of insects are found there, providing the main sustenance for this quirky creature. His ability to catch food is one of the defining characteristics of the Frahkis. His excellent night vision is aided by protruding hammerhead-like eye sockets which receive signals and tell him where his favorite prey is, as well as a pair of fins that sit side by side on the top of his head. Once he has the location of a target, usually a flying insect like the Hook Bug, the Frahkis snaps his disproportionately long arms out and snatches them up. Its needle teeth make quick work of the insect’s hard shell and its slim tail help keep it balanced on the cavern’s many ledges.

Summoned Beast:
Steam Pits Alpha Predator: Nuh Tkeupar

Lore:
The dominant predator of the Western Steam Pits, the Nuh Tkeupar is feared by all other creatures in the region. This devastating colossus is a flying death machine to all those that stand in its way. Its large razor sharp beak rends flesh with chaotic efficiency. Larger prey is taken down with its one-of-a-kind energy bolts that blast through a ruby red crystal horn that grows in a duct on its forehead. An energy sack sits behind the crystal under the skin, which directs light into compressed bolts. The sack is covered with thick electrical neurons that connect to it's highly charged brain. It's 10 meter wing span is second to none and keeps this hunter on top of its prey at all times. The bat like wings are covered with sharp spikes and bristling muscle. Its stout body and multiple tails allow for ultimate balance and maneuverability while in the air over the pits. These asexual creatures are extremely rare because of the hunting ground they cover and are born only once every millennium.

Summoner Red won this week!

Summoned Beast:
Atankerei

Lore:
A native of the Frost Reaches, a vast glacial island off the western coast of Corpus Callosum, the Atankerei, is a flightless bird that has vestigial nubs on it's upper body. These small wing remnants are an evolutionary holdover from it's flying ancestors. Its extremely thick coat of feathers is ornate, especially around the shoulders where they cover exposed bone plating. The pale blue monochromatic coloration is a perfect camouflage in the barren wastes of the frostbitten glacier. This highly evolved bird has an upright skeletal structure that is dense and built for durability unlike it's hollow boned family members eons ago. One of the unique abilities the Atankerei utilizes while hunting is a precisely delivered spray of highly corrosive and very deadly stomach acid. Organic material is no match for this fast acting acid which stops its prey in their tracks. Many Summoners coat their armor with a processed version of the Atankerei's mysterious mucosal stomach lining for extra protection during duels with this beautifully vile creature.



Beast Battle 10

Summoner Red defeated Summoner Blue this week but in the end Ytl'paups was the ultimate loser.

Summoned Beast:
Eh

Lore:
A dull creature living under the rocks and bushes in the outback region of the Corpus Calloseum, it has no true shape of it's own, for it is merely a small gray blob. The looks of this creature can be deceiving however, as it is a cunning hunter and fierce predator. Able to stretch, bend, and twist it's body into any shape imaginable, once the Eh has targeted it's prey, there is no escape. Luckily for the other inhabitants of the realm, the Eh only feeds once a year. Unfortunately though, it goes on a 24 hour feeding frenzy that usually wipes out any living thing within a mile of the Eh's resting place.



Beast Battle 9

Summoner Red won this week by a thread! (or a zip line)

Summoned Beast:
Gnaa'aaaaaa'ar

Lore:
A strange beast, the Gnaa'aaaaaa'ar spends most of its time in the upper canopy of the dense jungle in southern Corpus Callosum. It has developed a strange mode of travel where it hangs from a fibrous line it creates and attaches between trees. Unlike a spider's web however, it does not use this line for getting food in the classical sense, only for transportation. The Gnaa'aaaaaa'ar has a prehensile tail that it uses to feed itself with since all of its hands and feet are busy holding onto the line. Mostly it forages for food since its singular, large eye at its front means a lack of the depth perception needed for hunting. Its name comes from the sound it makes when trying to attract a mate.



Beast Battle 8

Summoner Blue Defeated his rival in this clash of titans

Summoned Beast:
Ulmridaer

Lore:
Emerging from the depths of the ocean every equinox to feed, the great Ulmridaer is the thing of legends. Its massive body has been mistaken for an island from afar by those unfortunate to come across it, for it is the last sight they will see on the treacherous waters. The reach of the Ulmridaer's twelve razor lined tentacles is so great that few have ever gotten close enough to view the body, which is home to various plant life and vegetation. Once grasped by these tentacles, the prey has the life squeezed out of it as the razor lining cuts them to shreds in a matter of seconds. This effectively chums the waters and both allows the Ulmridaer to feed via it's baleen lined mouth, and attracts more predators, which then become the prey of this mighty beast.
