    Long ago the Ancient Demon Lords captured a great dragon and attempted to turn it to their will, but the mind of a dragon is beyond control. So they tried to create their own dragons but again their attempts failed and the dragon died. The Demon lords took its bones and formed a creature to their specifications and created a new demonic race, The Titans. These Demons look similar to the dragons, but can walk on their hind legs. Their core burns with hellfire and their wings can carry them through the skies at great speed. They are driven by the greed of dragons for wealth and the demonic hatred of the mortal races. They are fearsome enemies and not to be taken lightly. Instinct: To take all that is valuable

    • Burn all who stand before it
    • Unleash hellfire breath
    • Attack from the skies

  • Sandswarm Amalgam Solitary, Huge, Intelligent, Construct, Amorphous
    Coherent Bolt (b[2d10+7] damage 2 piercing) 27 HP 4 armor
    Reach, Forceful, Far
    Special Qualities: Modular Recombination, Modular Construct

    “When the swarm of Sandmites is engaged by whatever guides them to commit organized violence, the swarm organizes as a single super-organism. The Amalgamated sandswarm can replace damaged segments with fresh mites and reorganize as it needs. The combined electrical potential of the swarm is released as a beam of coherent energy. The Amalgam is perhaps the most dangerous “individual” entity one may encounter in the sands. It is unclear if the Amalgam can actually be destroyed long term, as the swarm is thought to be replensished by something in the hive under the sand. Of note is the Amalgam’s apparent disregard for the safety of others (including the Walkers which act as a group).”

    Instinct: to destroy with singular focus

    • Combine the Might of the Swarm

  • Sandmite Horde, Tiny, Organized, Construct
    Zap (w[2d4-2] damage) 3 HP 0 armor
    Hand
    Special Qualities: Modular, Constructed

    “The Sandmites are small, inverted, metal tetrahedra approximately 3inches tall. An insectoid leg springs from the dark metal of the body on each face (excepting the top face) ending in a two-pronged foot. They never roam alone, the swarm is always nearby, sometimes below the sand in a vast network of glassed and fulgurite tunnels. When forced to defend themselves they may deliver a small electric shock, but often flee from danger. There are a number of exceptions to this, but the motivation (or programming as some believe) is largely unknown and thus the behavior of the Mites is somewhat inherently unpredictable. What is least understood and perhaps most concerning is what triggers the swarm to form colonial super-organism capable of immense destructive potential.”

    Instinct: to scavenge

    • Reclaim, Rebuild, Repair
