Protector of Ruins lore

Species: Artificial CreatureRegion: Shal'ZaarEra: Age of the Deities

Abyssal monsters have an indescribably horrific form. These demonic creatures were encountered during the Oniyx expedition — a horrifying venture into the depths of the temple of Zaar'Phahl in Shal'Zaar. Once the group's descent into the Abyss was over, the survivors hurried to seal off the temple's excavation site. A massive fortification was set up so no Abyssal could get out. An artificial Oniyx creature was built alongside it — a powerful, immense creation that now guards nothing but ruins.
