Ravener behemoth
A ravener behemoth is a colossal magical beast that exists to consume. It devours animals, plants, and minerals as it tears a path of destruction through mountains, forests, jungles, and settlements.1
Appearance
At a distance, the ravener behemoth resembles a small mountain supported on thick legs. Its head sports numerous horns and tusks, and its hide is a stony, mineralized carapace that supports the growth of lichens, plants, and small trees out of the reach of its maw. The creature stands nearly 60 feet tall and stretches 80 feet long, and has numerous stomachs.1
Habitat and ecology
Behemoths were created by deities at the dawn of the First World, and the ravener behemoth is a creature that has devolved into a semi-intelligent being of insatiable hunger after passing into the Universe. Rather than destroying these persistent creatures directly, deities sometimes task their champions to obliterate these products of divine inattention. Raveners can rarely retain some vestige of their former intelligence and divine ability, including higher intelligence, magical powers, and the ability to speak several languages.1
Female ravener behemoths mate every 50 years and produce one to three young that can live for 1,000 years, driving off the fathers.1
