Origin: Inland Thazvaar (deserts)
The Terraveth Behemoth is a colossal bipedal reptilian predator native to the deserts of inland Thazvaar, exceeding 90,000 tonnes in mass and standing over 50 meters tall. Its vast claws and subterranean strength allow it to tear through deep strata and emerge without warning, reshaping entire regions in catastrophic upheaval. Each emergence leaves craters and fault lines that alter desert ecosystems and erase nearby settlements.
Living 200–300 years and maturing slowly over five to six decades, the species reproduces infrequently within immense, sealed burrows deep beneath arid plains. The shifting and collapse of surface terrain often mark the beginning of an emergence cycle, signaling that an adult is breaching from below.
Ancient Thazvaari records from roughly 8,000 years before modern Geba describe a Behemoth surfacing beneath the city of Terraveth after the disturbance of its buried eggs, annihilating the settlement entirely. Later accounts detail the illicit theft and hatching of stolen eggs, which drew multiple adults to the same site in retributive destruction. The event engraved the Behemoth into Thazvaari legend as a symbol of unstoppable, retaliatory force within the desert.
Modern observation remains limited to remote seismic and aerial monitoring, with strict guidance to avoid burrow zones, evacuate during localized tremors, and never interfere with unhatched eggs.
