(Source) The ultima beast is a living weapon from an age when godlike sorcerers ruled the world. Wrought to bring ruin upon the foes of its creators, it was sealed away when its makers beheld its terrible powers in action and grew afraid. Man-made Monster. The ultima beast is not a natural creature, and the fact of its artificial origin is apparent at a glance. Gilded plates of armour are riveted to its flesh, and a complex array of glowing blue vanes runs down the length of its spine. Its teeth and claws are made of metal, and silver filaments run beneath its skin in place of arteries. Despite these traits, the ultima beast is no simple construct: it is very much a creature of flesh and blood. Power Made Flesh. The ultima beast’s body seethes with arcane power. Its horns and muscles crackle with magical energy, and its eyes glow blue in reflection of its eldritch sight. Such is the creature’s power that it can call down shafts of burning radiance from the heavens, and expel torrents of raw magical energy from its gaping jaws as easily as a dragon breathes fire. Worse, its powers allow it to adapt to the tactics of its foes, becoming temporarily immune to certain forms of damage. Sealed Menace. The ultima beast was intended to be a weapon of war, but when its creators saw how powerful it truly was, they grew to fear their creation and discontinued their plans to create more of its kind. Legends say that this terrible beast was sealed away on a floating continent hidden somewhere in the clouds, where its dreadful power may never bring harm to the lands below. Immortal Nature. The ultima beast does not need to eat, sleep, drink, or breathe.
