There are some things in this world with which you
simply don’t trifle. They trifle with you, and when
they do you are at their complete mercy. The legendary
gorgandur is one such creature. There are
only four of these beings rumored to be in existence, and for
that I am quite thankful. We’ve also seen a marked decrease in
their activity over recent decades, which is something else to
be thankful for.
Records of these beasts go back hundreds of
years, and there are several legends that lay claim
to them. The ancient Menites wrote of them
in the Olknurizon, calling them the gormalaine;
they were said to be a punishment
left here on Caen for us by Menoth.
The legends that seem the more pervasive,
however, are that these beasts
are the whelps of the Devourer
Wurm and follow its example,
spreading chaos and destruction
wherever they may. From what I
have heard from reports, these creatures
do not go out of their way to
seek out victims, but do not
hesitate to obliterate those foolish
enough to raise their ire.

If you’re breathing, then you’ve probably never witnessed
a gorgandur in person, though I have had the opportunity to
speak to one or two rare survivors. They are colossal serpents
that dwell deep in the earth (near subterranean warm pockets in
volcanic areas, I believe). Every few decades they wake from their
slumber and unleash themselves upon the world to cause widespread
destruction and eat the inhabitants
and livestock of several towns while
they’re at it. I’ve never heard tell of
one of these beasts being slain, nor
could I even imagine one.
Combat
When a gorgandur engages
in combat it attempts to kill
and then eat everything, and
that is generally what it does. It
will attack first with a blast of
corrosive sludge, then it will
set to smashing everything to
pieces. Should some force manage
to do critical damage to the gorgandur, it
would flee back from whence it came.
Corrosive Sludge (Ex): 100 ft.
