User blog:Chaoarren/Own monster highlight week: Tenebroshi Kirin

Welcome to this weeks highlight. Today we have a subspecies so dark its the last thing anyone would think when asked what a kirin is. It is the Tenebroshi kirin!



Appearance
Its fur is stained violet with the essence of poison inducing powder. The hide of tenebroshi is charred black by the dragon elements power. The crimson dragon thunder surrounds the tenebroshi at all times unlike the regulars, whose thunder only appears when threatened. The horn is also coloured crimson.

The Tenebroshi Kirin isn't a natural creation, it is mutated, as seen below.

Its creation
In this legend it goes into detail how the first Tenebroshi was born.

Back when the everwood was a civilisation there was a critically unstable pit of toxicity, buried underground no one would know of it if it wasn't for the dragon bugs that swarmed around it. On the unfateful day a hunter carrying a longsword of sleep powers tracked a kirin down to the location. The kirin prepared its lightning smash but was affected by the sleep element causing the lightning to break open to the pit, dropping the kirin and the hunter to their inevitable doom. The wind suction from the extreme speed of the hole being opened so quickly drags the dragon bugs into the pit and melt into the lightning spredding across the poison. It turns to night, a figure raises from the pit. The figure is the kirin, somehow having survived the fall and the toxic waters. The kirin has already changed forever, its lightning tainted by dragon element, its pure white hide turned to a deep grey and its mane stained with poison. Its brain has been damaged activating an aggressive gene not used by normal kirin. Leaping out of the pit it kills jaggi which had gathered around the area, then dashes off in to the woods.

The ancient civilisation didn't take tenebroshi kirin seriously, but not for long. Soon they saw the woods around the city start to decay and die. Soon enough they found four kirin, two of thunder, two of ice dead in a circle made of acid. At this point, they made the choice to seal tenebroshi off for an eternity. They built the Cermran Temple, a place where they would try to trap and perhaps purify the tenebroshi. Using the horns of the slain kirin they constructed crystals containing sleep inducing gases and a sample of one of the most nurtrisous plants on the land they created an alter in the temples center to lure tenebroshi in. Tenebroshi kirin' in less than an hour after they finished the trap arrives in the temple after sending great energy. It falls right into their trap as the crystals fire out the three elements instantly pinning tenebroshi down on the alter. The plan was going well as the tenebroshi started showing signs of fatigue. But just as they were about to attempt a purification the tene unleashed a dragon bolt over the staircase where one holding what appeared to be a wystone was walking up. It knocks rubble over it, killing the purifier and forcing the rest the rest to go with sealing off the tenebroshi. Tenes scream echos out as the temple started to sink into the ground like quicksand. The men run into a stygain zinogre, shock comes over them as such a thing hasn't been seen before in those parts. All but one manage to get away from the beast, he is hit with a draconfauge ball and then eaten.

The story ended with the prayer that Tenebroshi would never escape from its tomb. Thousands of years later the very civilization that sealed away tenebroshi kirin is gone and from its city grew the everwood. Unfortunately, the crystals crumbed from age, causing tenebroshi to awaken two days later and to decay the surface above to escape....


 * The guild wasn't formed when this happened so nothing could stop the hunting of the kirin.
 * The tale is believed to have dated back 10,000 years ago, the reason why the Ciemran ruins survived this long is from the energy holding the Tenebroshi kirins sleep renewing itself and strengthing the walls.
 * From the two events that happened by the hand of men, the tenebroshi gained a hatred over humans and seeks to destroy the people who did harm to it.

Abilities
The individual in Tri Frenzy had the ability to caused the woods and earth to be absorbed into it, creating the Fallen woods. Both monsters and plants fall victim in these ways.


 * Plant: Tenebroshi absorbs the life through the very air by its manes draining mist, blocking out photosynthesis and decaying the stems of the plant. The plant dies and collapses a husk.


 * Monster: Tenebroshi uses one of its two mists that dissolve the monster either entirely or to bone. Flesh eater mist was named from its nature to dissolve the flesh and blood of a monster. Poison mist has a more unnatural effect, the monster is turned into a black goo and drained into tenebroshi, this is how it gets its jet black hide.

Dragon and poison flows through its hide, two abilities that are devestating in use. Its horn is surprisingly a disadvantage to it, as it holds back its true powers. Once its gone it takes form of its last used element, and uses that primarily and more efficiently.

Habitats
Ever since the death of the original, they have been seen in the Vivid rainforest and Bitterturned tunnels areas. They always appear where there is poison ponds.
