- Age: 6 GSY
- Force Sensitivity: Force User
- Species: Kakdijs Zûta
- Appearance: Adramelech is a lab-grown draconic Sithspawn ranging around one-hundred-and-thirty-five meters in length with a one-hundred-and-twenty-two meter wingspan; a virtual goliath of a monster. From the top of his back scales to the ground beneath him Adramelech stands around thirty-six-and-a-half meters tall, though the distance differs whether or nor the Sithspawn is sitting on his haunches or crouching with his limbs. Most of his skin is covered by scales as tough and resilient as Mandalorian iron, a benefit of his alchemical origins. The skin running along his throat and belly is far less resilient in comparison, though it can still withstand significant small-arms fire and can snap durasteel vibro-weapons. His tail is long and tipped with spike studded with smaller protrusions, much like a mace.
Unlike his brethren, Adramelech possesses four full limbs rather than hind legs and claws on the joints of his wings. This was deliberately by design, as the Emperor wished for his flying mount to possess enough versatility with his claws as to grapple enemies and tear down erected fortifications. His wings are large and leathery, capable of carrying his own immense bulk and the weight of his rider high through the air without much difficulty. His head is long and angular, a crown of four spiraling horns jutting out from his skull while six sharp blood-red eyes scan for his next meal.
When ridden into battle, Adramelech would have lobstered armor plates strapped around his stomach and neck. These plates are flexible enough as to not cause Adramelech much discomfort in motion, and are made of strong enough material as to defend against the stronger arms of the Emperor's enemies.
- Name: Adramelech
- Loyalties: Darth Carnifex
- Notable Possessions: N/A
- Personality: Bred solely for the task of war, Adramelech is a beast of savage fury and ruthless brutality. Capable of only animalistic instincts, Adramelech understands no distinction between friend or foe; all are equally capable of slaking his terrible hunger. Only through the bond anchored between himself and his master, Darth Carnifex, can the wanton tendencies of the Sithspawn be tempered with intelligence and cunning. It is through this link that Carnifex utilizes Adramelech as a terrible weapon of destruction, directing his actions as easily as one would control a speeder or a starship.
- Training:
Psychically compelled to obey the commands of his master and rider, Darth Carnifex - Can be directed by his rider to do whatever the rider desires; not limited to moving to a certain location, attacking something or someone, or restraining himself from action (Adramelech will never use his noxious breath unless commanded)
- Will fiercely protect his rider even when the rider is dismounted, and will not leave his side unless commanded
COMBAT INFORMATION
- Combat Function: Adramelech is a monster on wings, his sharp talons capable of shredding durasteel as easily as one would tear apart paper. His tail can be used as a bludgeoning or sweeping weapon, a single swipe capable of knocking an entire row of enemies right off their feet or tipping over a vehicle onto its side. His teeth are serrated and coated with a putrid bacteria that can incur cellular decay in any unfortunate enough to suffer his infectious bite. Special organs laden within his throat and around his stomach can produce significant amounts of hydrogen sulfide, which can be expelled out from the dragon's mouth as noxious gas where it is combined with other elements produced in Adramelech's throat to color the typically colorless gas a sickly yellow-green. Conversely, when Adramelech is fed with Dark Side energy from his rider he can fire a concentrated stream of Dark Side lightning from his mouth.
- Alchemical Scales: Conceived through the dark science of Sith Alchemy, Adramelech's scales are tougher than most artificial materials existing in the galaxy at the time. They can repel everything from small arms fire to heavier munitions, though enough sustained bombardment would be able to injure and kill him. The scales can even cause lightsabers to glance off.
- Dark Side Beast: The Dark Side of the Force flows freely through Adramelech's body, and he is more than capable of subconsciously using the Force in battle. This most notable manifests as a stream of Dark Side lightning ejected from his mouth at the behest of his rider.
- Rider Psychic Link: Adramelech shares a potent psychic connection with his rider, Darth Carnifex, allowing the Sith Lord to command the beast as if he were an extension of his own body. Because Adramelech was made for this express purpose, there is none of the wild desire to break free of his yoke that would be more common among natural-born beasts, he is utterly subservient to Carnifex's will and his will alone.
- Big Target: Coming in at around a hundred-and-thirty-five meters in length, Adramelech can't be easily missed by neither sight nor gun. Though his alchemized scales can deflect or absorb a great deal of the firepower thrown his way, it doesn't make him impervious. Enough sustained fire can damage and even bring him down, the problem is having enough men and munitions to do it.
- Softer Underbelly: Unlike the scales running along his back and flanks, Adramelech's underbelly is more lightly armored and thinner. This is where the majority of enemy fire would be concentrated by a clever enemy to bring him down, as it would be far easier to gut the beast than to keep hammering away at its armor-like scales.
- Force Light: Like all creatures made through the dark science of Sith Alchemy, Adramelech is more harmed by the power of Force Light than it is by conventional weapons. Such practitioners of this Light Side ability are often targeted first by both rider and beast, both fully cognizant of the danger they possess.
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 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 the Lady of Secrets, [member="Taeli Raaf"], 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 Colossus. Together they would blacken the skies of the Empire's enemies, and cast whole worlds in darkness and decay.
