PHYSICAL INFORMATION
Age:
Prime - 5-7 (Stronger Adar live at most 12 years)
Force Sensitivity:
Force User
Species:
Alchemy Altered Adar
Appearance:
Pyrrhax is a large, crimson-scaled beast standing over 4.5 meters tall with a length of over 7 meters. His hide is rough and deeply ridged with darkened plates, and metallic talon-guards are enhanced through the ritual. Two tusks protrude from a heavy bite force jaw, and lightning scars streak across his snout from ritual infusion. He has broad wings used for gliding and glimmering amber eyes that pulse during intense moments or before a lightning breath. A black saddle marked with Sith runes is fitted to his back.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Name:
Pyrrhax
Loyalties:
Diarch Rellik // will accept no other rider and becomes highly aggressive if separated or handled by outsiders.
Personality:
Pyrrhax is fiercely loyal, volatile, and emotionally reflective of his master. He is calm only in Rellik's presence, mimicking his posture and silence like a shadow to the Diarch. Toward strangers, he is hostile, territorial, and will often release deep growls as warnings. Pyrrhax will protect Rellik without hesitation, attacking even overwhelming odds if commanded or provoked, he seems him as the Eldar of the Adar pack that came after Pyrrhax creation.
COMBAT INFORMATION
Combat Function:
Pyrrhax is a shock-beast—used to break enemy lines and create chaos. He specializes in charging tactics, leaping strikes, and close-range lightning discharge. When paired with Rellik's Force tactics, he becomes a mobile siege weapon. He is not meant for stealth or long-range support, but excels in brutal forward engagements.
Combat Capability:
- Clawed forelimbs alchemically altered to now be on par with some of the hardest metals in the galaxy
- Crushing bite and whip-like tail
- Gliding leaps to launch from elevated terrain
- Rare Force lightning breath (short-range burst)
Defenses:
- Thick, alchemically treated hide resistant to Intense light, heat, radiation and freezing cold.
- Resistance to energy weapons (does not include lightsabers) - Any Energy weapons made for a tank could in theory pierce Pyrrhax
- Spikes over the entirety of its body.
Force Abilities:
- Force Lightning (breath-type attack; limited use per encounter)
- Telepathic bond with Rellik (instant communication, emotion mirroring, commandless navigation)
MOUNT SPECIFICATIONS
Role:
War Mount / Personal Transport / Symbolic Companion
Size:
Large
Weight:
2,000 kg
Mount Experience/Training:
Trained
Maneuverability:
Moderate (sharp turns require effort; strong leap-based movement)
Speed:
Up to 30 km/h on land; gliding speed slightly slower but allows pounce attacks from above
Locomotion:
Quadrupedal with wing-assisted gliding
Passenger Capacity:
1 (Rellik only)
Cargo Capacity:
Minimal—can carry a field kit, weapon case, or small gear packs under the saddle
Strengths:
- Force-Bonded Mount: Shares an intuitive, battle-ready connection with Rellik; acts without verbal or visible commands.
- Lightning-Breathing Predator: Possesses a rare and devastating short-range Force lightning breath.
- Leap attack
- Father of the pack (The very first Adar altered by Rellik. He is the father of all who follow unless an Adar is taken from the wild to be altered. Adar are pack animals that respect their hierarchy.)
Weaknesses:
- Shortened Lifespan: Due to its alchemical enhancements and lightning infusion, Pyrrhax has a life expectancy of only 8–12 years.
- Force Dependency: Without the Force (e.g., in a nullification field), Pyrrhax loses synchronicity with Rellik and cannot utilize his lightning ability.
- Strong and Dominant: The more powerful the Adar the more unstable it becomes. Although loyal to Rellik - it was already several years old and before the testing was fully balanced was imbued with a lot of power. (See Adar sub, most do not have the ability to shoot lightning and it is only trained, not expert or elite)
- Animalistic Behavior: If threatened enough it could have enough self determination to flee, disobey, or outburst in anger.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Pyrrhax was born in the shadow laboratories of Taspir III and a swiftly build ritual site. The result of Diarch Rellik's relentless alchemical experiments on captured Adar. He was the first of his kind to survive the lightning infusion ritual, a process that left others dead. The trial scarred both beast and master Rellik's own psych still bears the burns of that test. Leading to him wanting to ensure safe breading for all Adar going forward over Rituals.
Trained personally by Rellik from the moment of awakening, Pyrrhax's loyalty was forged in constant care and effort. Unlike other Sithspawn, Pyrrhax does not obey because of pain or programming but because of a genuine, Force-shaped bond that links to the history of the Adars pack mentality. He has since served in demonstrations of the Diarchy's strength, accompanied Rellik unto ancient world, and been witnessed in ceremonial roles, and gliding silently through storm-filled skies.
He is not merely a beast. He is Relliks responsibility and a member of his family by all means.
