Beast in the crypt

The beast in the crypt is an extremely fast and aggressive creature. Though it once dwelt within a lonely tomb in Thera, the beast was interred deep within a cavity of the earth when Vertani Magelords summoned meteors to destroy the town in 385 AF. However, Quisalis-funded excavations in the year 446 unwittingly released the creature from its 61-year imprisonment.

The beast in the crypt usually stays unnoticed within its eerie home until reckless adventurers enter the crypt in hopes of slaying it. Should the adventurer flee, the beast rampages across Sapience in pursuit of the unlucky victim, attacking people on sight.

Thick black fur hangs from the skeletal form of the ghostly beast which shakes violently as if constantly in pain. The overall appearance reeks of decay and death, enhanced by the dark red stains which blotch the violet tongue lolling from its drooling mouth. Older adventurers have bestowed upon it the rather unusual nickname of "Bianca", and some speculate the beast to be an example of the Shakira Effect.
