Legion Coral

Article written by Paul Record


The Legion Coral is a creature of Chaos that serves the Fire Dragon, Blazewight. The Legion Coral in its natural shape is a lattice coral sphere that can propel itself underwater under its own power. A being of destruction it is barely held in check by its master. When let loose it wrecks havoc on all creatures, foes and allies alike.

The touch of the Coral is deadly. It attacks its victims by engulfing them in its deadly embrace or shooting deadly spears of coral. Once it has made a successful strike its victim undergo a horrible change as the Legion' cells invade the victim's body, multiplying at an uncanny speed and consuming the victim from the inside out. Even a minor nick is deadly as it replaces bone and sinew with coral. Nothing is safe from its cancerous touch. Minor magic's are incapable of healing victims infected with the coral only delaying the inevitable. A creature dying from the touch of the Legion Coral adds to the mass of the Legion.

The Alien Sea

During the events of the Alien Sea, the Dimernesti druid of Abbakuk, Utharne, destroyed The Legion Coral. Summoning one last spell, the druid died and in his death transformed into a whirling vortex of blue flame that consumed the Legion Coral.
