Great Beasts

Summery

Great Beasts are the biggest beasts in the world of Orbis. Some people believe them to exist, but many others just consider them to be myths and beasts from old stories. All of the following do in fact live, unless stated otherwise. As with most of the powerful inhabitants of Orbis there is a Golden Apple involved at some point, either these beasts are descended from something which ate the apple, or they ate it themselves.

The Kraken The kraken is a great tentacled, octopus-like beast which is believed to live out in the Eastern Sea and is capable of wrapping its tentacles round ships and dragging them down into the sea.

Many seafarers live in fear of the Kraken which is said to attack ships blown off course in storms. It is quite common for fishermen and other seafarers to have charms and amulets supposed to ward the Kraken away.The Collossusi

The Collossusi are enormous beasts which are capable of destroying cities. They originated as a group of now-extinct beastman variation which were considered sentient. A group of them took up the quest to the Tree Of Life, which was successful, and they all gained great power. The beastmen were a young race and did not have the minds required to eat the apple and maintain their sanity. As time progressed, they became more and more obsessed with becoming more powerful and sought out ways to improve themselves. They became more and more competitive with each other until their friendship became very fragile indeed. After many years they managed to return to their homeland which they found it under invasion, with many of their cities burned to the ground. When they finally came across a battle, they launched into the attack where they slaughtered the enemy. This drove them mad and the power consumed them. Since then they have all parted ways and to this day are some of them most powerful, legendary beings in all of Orbis.
