Azor

The Azor is a revolting creature with four arms which end in nasty claws. It has an iconic red mane that flows down its back. It's face looks like a cross between a bear and an orc. It is one of the most dangerous creatures of Axial as it feeds by absorbing the life force of living creatures and humanoids are it's favourite treat. Instant paralysisis delivered by shooting quills that secrete a poison that attacks the prey's nervous system from specal pores in the creature's shoulders. The prey is then completely consumed as the beast can unhinge its jaw to swallow animals that you would have thought imposible to fit, once consumed the Axor begins absorb the prey merging it onto its own grotesque form. these ferocious beasts are widely killed by hunters as they are classified as a great tropy. All these killings are rapidly decreasing the population of creatures to the point of extinction.
