Hello! I have made an WTA entry for this beautiful creature, I really think it would tie in nicely into my story as an antagonist both past and future.
I'll leave it under a spoiler because it kind of got away from me a bit and I wanted to do it justice, hopefully you will like what I did. c:
Name: Seir
Age: Immortal
A creature not of this world.
It has a taste for death and destruction. A being of pure chaos. Like a moth to a flame it is pulled to those touched by divinity by its all consuming hunger. -Ancient Scholar
The All Devouring Krayt was the moniker used in the most frail and ancient books for the orange chaos creature of destruction. A story often used to scare children, seemingly an old wives tale, silly folklore, nothing true, nothing real. How could there truly be a creature as old as time, birthed from the first balls of chaos that shaped the universe? Older than the gods they worshiped and thus beholden to none, such nonsense! A creature of nightmares, all fangs and claws, giant wings and multiple eyes that saw all…stop spreading such lies!!! No creature like that could exist, it was impossible, the people of the far gone past were obviously mistaken, documents forged, stories embellished… all the while, even though they pushed it down as far as it could go, in their hearts they couldn’t help the flicker of fear inside.

The All Devouring Krayt, Seir, a name none should ever know was indeed born from the first clashing of chaos and saw the creation of the multiverse. During the dawn of the earliest days they were not alone, others of their kind were also formed though the creatures spread out to the corners of the universe preferring their solitude. They feasted on the chaos they lived within and witnessed the forming of different planes and worlds and also the birth of the gods. Wishing to challenge other strong beings many battles were fought and many gods faded into dust, names never being known. Others though proved stronger than the Krayts and were able to deal some punishing blows though never were a Krayt felled. Now though the Krayt knew the sweet taste of divinity, a taste they would not soon forget even as centuries passed.
Seir still bore the scars of his tussle with the gods although it was pleased that never again had another creature managed to mar its skin. It took great pride in its bright orange fur and strong wings and spent most of its time traversing in the chaos until something from another plane caught its interest and then it would emerge to play. It felt especially drawn to worlds at war and would pop in to sow havoc using its control over space to switch soldier positions and redirect attacks. It also took extreme joy in joining the fray, slicing through with teeth and claws relishing in the torment of its victims from the caustic properties of the raw chaos in its saliva and blood that burned like acid. And after it had had its fun it could feast on the devastation that comes in the wake of war until its belly was full.
After it would once again cross back into the chaos plane and continue on aimlessly until something else caught its attention or hunger called to it. Of course with such a volatile nature heroes and villains alike that had the power to cross the planes of existence had made attempts to defeat or control the Krayt. Seir looked forward to their attempts, enjoying testing its strength against others that considered themselves strong enough to challenge it. But it would be a hard and unfavorable battle for most especially if they came unprepared. For Seir was immune to enchantments, poisons, dark magic and diseases. And in addition to its teeth and claws it could teleport, see past most spells, cast illusions, cause fear and call darkness in addition to other magic abilities. And even if the enemies could manage to do damage to Seir, it had amazing healing abilities and could recover from near lethal wounds. It even had an ace up its sleeve…having been born at the beginning of creation it had a deep understanding of time and knowing how to even very briefly break it.
Thus this was how Seir spent its life, fearing no danger instead having others fearing it and doing things on its own whims. The multiverse was massive and it could be centuries before it might by happenstance return to a world it once ravaged, now reduced to a fairytale until it returned to reign devastation once more. Most worlds did indeed learn something though, even if the Krayt itself was long forgotten, and that was that it was better to have peace than wars. Inadvertently it made these worlds less appealing to be revisited unless of course they happened to be in its path when its hunger called.
Right now though its hunger was sated and it was drifting lazily in its plain of chaos when something tickled the back of its mind. It sluggishly turned its head in the direction it felt a calling from flexing its nostrils and pricking its ears forward. Then suddenly it tensed its ten golden eyes piercing through the vast openness of the chaos in front of it and seemingly gazing into another plane. A weak signal pulsed, a small light wrapped in divinity, and Seir’s gaping maul stretched open showing rows and rows of razor sharp teeth, it had been an eternity since it last tasted a god. It was time to play.
I tried to leave it kind of open ended to try not to get too attached but this creature has definitely been living rent free inside my head. c:
The character in the last paragraph, (tw: it is a digitally drawn wolf like creature) is my character of divine origin that met misfortune and was trapped/sealed for centuries. When the seal was broken that would be when Seir would become aware of his existence. I'll link the literature background writing here in case you were curious about the character Seir would be hunting (it links straight to the literature and has no character picture on it): https://toyhou.se/~literature/230844.amir-gaoul-background
But in that literature it mentions that Amir met misfortune when arriving into the world and how he was then captured by forces of evil. Here I think Seir would come in as a great antagonist from the past and future. Since it has a craving for divinity, all those centuries ago it had traveled to this world to hunt Amir and they both did massive damage to each other, causing Seir to leave that plane to regenerate and Amir weakened was able to be overpowered and trapped by forces of evil and his presence hidden and sealed. Thus Seir sensing the divinity no longer moved on and centuries pass. In Amir's background he is eventually discovered and unsealed and this is when he pops back up onto Seir's radar causing it to head back to this particular world that has all but forgotten its existence. And since the multiverse is enormous even with Seir's teleporting and plane walking abilities it would still take a while to return to this world. Enough time for Amir to gain a bit of strength back and this time have some allies on his side.
I think this creature would tie in very nicely into Amir's story and add some interesting twists and turns for the other characters too. c:
Thank you for your time and thank you for the opportunity to enter for this creature! <3
