Krem the crimsonFury

Name: Krem

Species: Dragon (Crimson Fury)

Background: Krem is originally from an island where he'd often have to fight other monsters on the daily or the various humans that hunted the inhabitant's. While he was there, he was extremely aggressive and rarely if ever showed any mercy since it was literally life or death. It was kill or be killed so hesitation could not be a factor. During a particularly abnormal storm he was knocked into the ocean where he eventually washed up on the shore line of an unknown continent. He awoke very confused along the beach but that wasn't the biggest surprise.  He found that while this world had humans much like the island he previously inhabited, there were other various races running about and to his surprise they were relatively friendly. He even found other species larger then him inhabited the land but they lived in peace with the humanoid races. He did initially have some issues fitting in at first since he always defensive. It took some getting used to but he was slowly able to adjust to his new home. He has gotten much friendlier then how he originally was but he still has some tendencies and habits that he has to work on. He's even made a few friend's like Fiona (Red headed woman that uses healing magic that she concentrates into her fists. She likes punching things alot)

Krem is a very forward being and generally doesn't really get the idea of being subtle when conversing. If he wants to now something or say something He's not going to hold back. He's always up for a good scrap as its within his nature as a crimson fury. He generally does try to be "polite" in his new surroundings as it's a completely different world.

Magic: Krem has the ability to use earth magic. He is unable to use it in complex manners but can still get the job done. In order to use it he focuses the magic mainly into his tail which serves as a focus. When he slams his tail into the ground he can saved a wave of earth hurtling towards a target. He can also use this to send out  seismic shockwave. Pillars of earth can also be summoned from the ground and large boulders can easily be hurled from dug up earth. The magic can also be focused to drastically increase the strike power of a tail swing.

Description/Features: Crimson Fury’s are a rare subspecies of Salamander based dragons . They are designated within this subspecies because they have 6 limbs. They also do not have wings. Instead, these large dragons run down their prey and once they catch up grapple and hold with their four opposable fore arms/claws. Once pinned down they go for a killing bite. It’s large hind legs are what allow it to accelerate very quickly and jump incredibly high.  Impressively enough at full stride it can reach 50 mph and sustain this speed for 25 seconds before needing to slow down and catch it’s breath, This is because it has very large lungs which allow for a greater amount of oxygen to be taken in. It also has a smaller secondary heart which helps with blood distribution throughout the body. Because of this it has excellent endurance when it comes to running and fighting. They are fully grown 10 years of age. At first glance you would think these creatures are just brutal mindless fighters but, they are actually analytical, sentient, sapient creatures and never blindly charge in against a target. They will always assess a potential fight and then act, even against humans which are much smaller. They are ambush predators after all, however once they’ve determined that they can win they hold nothing back and go all in on the target. If being followed they also will continue to act unaware to fool their pursuers. They have also been known to sneak away and circle behind tailing parties and carefully pick off anyone that strays too far. They’ve also been known to observe towns and castles to determine when caravans were moving in and out.  They also have excellent eye sight and hearing so they will notice a threat long before it gets close. Their night vision is also extremely good.  When engaged in combat they rear up on their hind legs and have their four arms at the ready to grab and take down a charging foe. If they get desperate, they have a last resort attack. Within their mouth sit two spray glands, one on either side. They spray in a shotgun blast like pattern dousing everything directly in front of them with an aerosol mist. The liquid is extremely irritable to the eyes, mouth and nose and causes severe burning. Essentially, it’s like being maced. These nodules refill over a day and half period so it’s not a reliable weapon which is why the save it for emergencies. Naturally they are not affected by the mixture

                There four arms/claws are used for fighting, running, and grabbing. Through observation it’s been noted that they also use these limbs to manipulate items in their environment such as for digging or nest building. These arms are also extremely powerful despite their size. This is due to the fact that it’s body has extremely dense and explosive muscle fibers. This allows these four arms to be used for quick adjustments during running or fighting. This also allows prey to be overpowered easily and brought down. It’s also strong enough to lift up monsters of equivalent size and in some rare cases larger monsters and slam them down. This is how they received the “Grapple king” nickname. They are also exceptional climbers and easily scale walls and mountains. It’s grip strength is also very powerful and it has been seen snapping limbs on frail monsters during fights. They also can strike very hard with their four arms to knock down foes or crush an obstacle. 

These dragons are covered with a thick red fur that has black stripes that stream down from the black dorsal spines that go down it’s back. Since they do not have scales they evolved to grow a thick fur over their bodies that is very good at dulling impacts against their bodies. This means blunt force is drastically reduced and it’s also a very good deterrent for piercing and slashing. The fur is also water resistant so water pours right off and generally insulates them from their environment which keeps them comfortable. Their fur is considered valuable

                There are black horns on it’s head and dorsal spines that start from it’s neck and trail all the way down its tail. At the end of it’s long tale are tail blades that serve two purposes. First they can serve as a bladed weapon when swinging it’s tail. The blades also serve as rudders when it’s running at full speed to help it turn. The dorsal spines are also incredible durable which is why they are highly sought after.

Krimson Fury's also have the ability to manipulate earth. Their tail acts as a focus and once it slammed to the ground, can create seismic shockwaves or cause pillars of earth to sprout up. They can also send large boulders hurtling. If power is concentrated into the tail it can deal a devastating strike to a target.

                 They actually are sapient and sentient but they generally do not talk to anyone. 

Habitat: Mountains/Jungle Regions/Caverns

Hunting Habits: When hunting they will conceal themselves as much as possible and wait patiently for an unsuspecting target o pass by. Once the targets in range they leap up and run it down in a matter of seconds. 

Fighting against: When encountering one the first step is to never break eyesight unless it does first. If you look away, they will interpret that as weakness and very likely charge. Since they prefer to ambush the odds of them charging is much lower when eye contact is held. They are often also assessing whether the risk/effort is worth attacking so if you give them any reason to second guess you drastically increase your escape chances. If a fight can’t be avoided stay out of close range at all costs. They will tear you apart with their forearms and make sure your out of range from their tail or you’ll wind up eviscerated in an instant. The next best tip is to try and fight them on unstable ground such as loose soils, gravel or mud. Though they are fast they are still heavy and unstable ground will give them a lot of traction difficulty. The best way to defeat one is entangle or disable it’s forearms. Without them it loses all of it’s mobility and is far more vulnerable although they will default to using their tail and can still bite. If possible putting them to sleep will always net a successful escape, capture, or kill. Fighting them or trapping them in water is also remarkably effective. The large quantity of muscle that their bodies possess make it difficult for them to swim.
