Kalamos Ecology

Back to: Kalamos

In Game info
The Black Dragon of Wrath, the Kalamos, so fierce and powerful, not even the hunter's guild of Revalius dare to hunt it, lest they provoke it's wrath. It is a dragon shrouded in mystery....

Taxonomy
Kalamos is classified as an Elder Dragon, and is a very powerful one. It has a variant called Vengeful Kalamos. It is said to be at least distantly related to the Fatalis brethren, and may be the Revalius region's evolutionary parrallel of the Fatalis Species.

Habitat Range
So far, It has only been sighted in Dead Forest, which it has claimed as it's territory, but has ben said to wander to any place it pleases....

Ecological Niche
Due to it not being seen interacting with other monsters, it's ecological niche is largely unknown, though its teeth point it out towards being at least a carnivore. But it's unnatural abilities make it hard to fit in an ecological niche even then.

Biological Adaptations
A Powerful and unnatural beast, the Kalamos has scales that provide an un-parralleled defence, and it's teeth and talons rip prey asunder. It breaths fire and even Dragon Element, and spreads explosive dust that are similar to Brachydios' slime or Teostra's explosive dust, which the Kalamos uses to blast anything out of existence by igniting it with it's fire breath. It's most disturbing feature, however, is it's "Third Eye" on the top of it's head. It is said that it can use this eye to stare at one's very soul, driving them insane.

It is said to be immortal, and will ressurect if slain. Armor made from Kalamos Materials are said to speak to the wearer, telling them to do horrific acts against other people, and giving people who wore the armor horrific nightmares. The Weapons, when held, make the weilder hear screams from inside the weapon, driving them insane. Some of the Hunters that use the equipment made from Kalamos materials dissapeared and a new Kalamos would appear the next day after the hunter's dissapearance, suggesting the hunterr is changed into the Kalamos' new body during it's ressurection.

Behavior
Hostile to anything that enters it's territory, it only leaves humans that enters it's domain if they leave a virgin, preferably female, as an offering to the dragon. It is unknown what it does with the virgins it gains by these offerings, but no one has yet to stand up to the beast to find out, lest they provoke it's wrath.

Lore
Kalamos, the Ancient Black Dragon of Wrath, was so fierce and so merciless, not even the Hunter's Guild of Revalius dared to hunt him, lest they provoke his wrath. It is said that it lives in the subregion of Revalius known as the Dead Forest, which was burned to a crisp during the Kalamos' Arrival, and every living creature was burned out of existence by the dragon, so it could claim the area as it's domain. It lies inthe forest's one ruin, a large altar that was used by a previous human tribe as a sacrificial altar for their gods, until the Kalamos' arrival. The only time it leaves humans that enter it's domain alive is if they bring a virgin as an offering, prefferably female. What it does with the virgins it gains is a mystery, but the people hope to never find out by not giving the dragon what it wants, for fear of what it will do if it does not get the offerings.
