ADVESARIES AND MONSTERS

SKARBORR
and his natal lairs

Skarborr is primarily a subterranean life form, Living as a mould, reaching out and stretching its threads through an infected area like a deadly toadstool.

Deep within the earth is the stinking center of Skarborr and where ever its threads break through the surface its reproductive organs appear in the form of a cap and spews out the most revolting monsters in the same way as fungi eject spores.

These aberrations of hell spread the evil and ensure that the ubiquitous mother "plant" strengthens its hold over life on the planet. Although you read the word "plant", who can really categorize the existence of this being?

The numerous monsters in all of their diverse forms are only a comparatively insignificant manifestation to the hidden, unseen form of Skarborr.

Very little is known about this underground life form apart from long periods, sometimes hundreds of years, in which it seems to vegetate only to spit out more powerful and more revolting monsters. The legends mentioned that it would someday come to a horrible metamorphosis of this creature and Skarborr himself would appear on the surface of Nimoa.

This happened once, but not too recently, and no one even wants to even try and imagine what might have happened, if the dragon had not been victorious and weakened Skarborr forever.

Skarborr's terrestrial form has thrown all descriptions of known daemons into the shadows, he appears as a giant, horribly ugly monstrosity with unbelievable, physical and magical power.

Only the consolidated power of all of the divine species of dragons and humans could beat the daemon and as Skarborr was finally killed and his monsters died out or were hunted down and the caps dried and withered away was victory certain.

Yet, as all life forms with an underground existence, concealed from the eyes above, old roots still nourish a vital center so it may well be that Skarborr will gather energy over centuries and spread out his threads once again.
