Ashkaroth, The Infernal Colossus by CharismaenigmaArt on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Backstory:

Ashkaroth, known as The Infernal Colossus, is a creature born from the ashes of a world consumed by war and fire. Towering over ruins, this ashen-furred wolf is the embodiment of destruction and rebirth, its flaming eyes burning with the fury of a thousand lost civilizations. Wherever Ashkaroth roams, cities crumble, and empires fall, as the very flames of its being devour everything in their path.

Long ago, Ashkaroth was a guardian spirit, a protector of balance in a world filled with chaos. However, after witnessing the ceaseless greed and cruelty of humanity, the beast was consumed by an apocalyptic rage, igniting its transformation into a force of relentless destruction. Now, it strides through burning cities, setting the sky ablaze with every step, punishing those who have defied the natural order and brought ruin to the land.

Ashkaroth’s flames are said to be fueled by the souls of the fallen, eternally feeding the firestorm that engulfs its colossal form. Legend holds that Ashkaroth will continue its march of devastation until the world has been purified by fire, and from the ashes, a new, untainted world can be reborn. Only those brave enough to face this beast and restore balance may have any hope of quelling its fiery wrath.

To encounter Ashkaroth is to witness the end of an age, a harbinger of total destruction that leaves nothing but scorched earth and molten ruins in its wake.
