ELDER EVILS Elder evils are ancient, powerful, and generally evil beings or entities. Their power could rival, or even surpass, that of demigods, such that they could destroy an entire world. KEZEF THE CHAOS HOUND Kezef the Chaos Hound was a powerful primordial, feared by gods and mortals alike. Kezef appeared as a huge mastiff with unearthly malevolent red eyes and a ratty tail. Maggots teemed in his fur, which made the coat shift incessantly over barely covered sinews and bones. His flesh oozed like pus from an old sore, and his paws left burning prints in the ground that spread into pools of burning ichor in his wake. Pointed teeth glittered like daggers of jet in the light. His blood was a dark, corrosive, liquid ooze, and he radiated a pestilent aura of decay. The fetid air of his breath extinguished all nearby fires, and he reeked with the sweet stench of ancient death. Those with a sense of smell could catch this scent from many miles away. The Chaos Hound spoke in a low and rumbling growl. He was a unique being who roamed the Outer Planes constantly hunting the Faithful, which were the souls of those who had chosen to venerate one god above all others. He had no taste for the Faithless or the False, and was sickened by the taste of the spirits of the still-living. DENDAR THE NIGHT SERPENT Dendar the Night Serpent was an elder evil and a primordial. Dendar was a colossal serpent who spent her time devouring the nightmares and fears of both mortals and immortals in hopes of bringing about the end of the world. She had blue-black scales, yellow eyes, and a huge maw filled with four fangs, spittle, and the bones of some of her former victims. Dendar was thought to have been created when the first mortal dream occurred, and she devoured the nightmares of the living ever since. Even the gods were not immune to her ravenous appetite for their dreams. ATROPAL An atropal is an undead humanoid creature that resembles an overgrown, dead human foetus. Notable physical traits include rotten skin, patches of exposed muscle tissue, clawed hands and feet, razor-sharp teeth and eyeholes that have been fused shut. Also of particular note, an atropal will usually have an umbilical cord still dangling from its belly. This creature is an incomplete weapon that was to fight in the Dawn War between the gods and the primordials, only to be sealed away and forgotten. Some, however, have been allowed to roam free across the planes, bringing death and destruction everywhere they go.
