Vennix
A colony of dragons that once lived on Dawn Isle were horribly mutated by The Nether Fountain's appearance, transforming into mindless mutant worms that burrow through the wasteland's dusty dunes. With a length of up to 15 meters, vennix were easily noticeable as they swam through the oceans of dust. ^qqqiu
Vennix possesses two vibrant amber eyes, and a prominent forehead-mounted horn made of a shard of ugrite. Both of these features glowed a nauseous yellow when the vennix was on the hunt, or was in a general aggressive state. Vennix were also covered in bony spikes along their entire bodies, with a frill of longer spikes by the base of their heads. Their jaws opened up incredibly wide, and the bottom jaw could also open up horizontally in addition to conventional vertical movement. The vennix’s fangs were as long as spears, helping it to skewer prey as it rushed through the environment.
Vennix were open to hunting anything, from gogs to Humans. Naturally, whatever was easiest and closest were prime targets, emphasizing the importance of Cuprum Nomads to exterminate ones that dwelled near their encampments. Vennix avoided rôtersik due to their dangerous, toxic innards. They also avoided the moonbeast due to its colossal size and strength.
The ugrite shards embedded in their bodies caused vennix to project a potent anti-magical field, and imbued their bites with archon-disrupting properties.
