- Appearance: Adramelech is a monstrous behemoth purposefully bred to be far larger than any of his brethren at the behest of the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Carnifex. His leathery skin is a dark ebony and dotted with occassionally patches of razor-sharp scales while his horns and spinal fins are a deep blood red. His teeth are black and grotesque, dripping with noxious ooze riddled with septic bacteria that cause horrific infections. The several wounds inflicted upon him during battle have scabbed over with globules of his blackened blood.
- Name: Adramelech, the Dread Behemoth
- Loyalties: Darth Carnifex
- Notable Possessions: N/A
- Personality: Adramelech is ferocious and primal, his mind geared towards brutality and violent instinct. On his own he acts like any other animal would, albeit one that is empowered by the Dark Side of the Force to be a force of terror and madness. It is only when paired with his rider that he is truly a force to be reckoned with, for with Carnifex's keen intellect and strategy to guide him he is capable of so much more than what was possible on his lonesome. And while he is still a beast, he does possess some dark affection for his master akin to a humbled predator paying homage to an alpha.
- Training: From birth Adramelech was designed to obey the will of its master, but it wasn't until Carnifex had truly subjugated it with the Dark Side of the Force that the great behemoth fully succumbed to his control. He will do anything that Carnifex demands of him, even at his own detriment.
- Combat Function: Adramelech's primary function is to ferry the Dark Lord of the Sith into battle atop his bulk, soaring through the air and blanketing the land below in darkness with each beat of his massive wings. From on high he can spew forth thick torrents of noxious bile and gas, saturating the target area with choking fumes and corrosive contagions. Because of this Adramelech's mouth is riddled with septic bacteria that can cause horrific infections to those that survive his powerful bite. When forced to ground he is still a formidable adversary, capable of rending flesh with his powerful hind talons or summoning buffeting gales with his wings while also utilizing the lethality of his bite as mentioned above. Above this is the Dark power invested into his very creation as an aura of Force Fear perpetually exudes outwards from his very body, sending the weak minded in a frenzy of terror and confusion as the line between friend and foe blurs with madness.
For eons the Sith have twisted and warped living beings to fit their needs, turning them into hulking beasts of war to smash through fortification or grotesque disease-riddled timebombs to sew anarchy through their foe's ranks. The advent of steeds for powerful Sith Lords had occurred many thousands of years ago, but even in the modern era it has become the norm among the Lords of the New Sith Empire.
And none were as famous as the Dark Lord who led them, Darth Carnifex, and his monstrous mount.
The beast that would come to be known as Adramelech was one of many Kakdijs Zûta created by [member="Eldaah Aderyn"] and her mysterious master, designed to carry the Sith Lords of the Empire into battle upon putrid black wings. However, the Dark Lord of the Sith required something grander than the run-of-the-mill beast, and imposed his own specifications into the creature's gestation and growth. He bred the beast to be vastly larger than its brethren, more monstrous, more intelligent, and far more dangerous than anything else they had conceived. For any lesser Sith, Adramelech would have slain them and devoured their carcass, but Carnifex was stronger than most and he possessed the power to bend the creature to his will and make it his own.
Carnifex named the creature Adramelech after an ancient demon in Sith mythology and bestowed upon him the moniker of the Dread Behemoth. Together they would blacken the skies of the Empire's enemies, and cast whole worlds in darkness and decay.
