Description
Near mythic in proportion, the gargantuan korograth towers shoulder-high to a mature ironwood and propels its muscular bulk forward on four stocky legs, each with the girth of an adult mammoth. Twisted black horns, wrapped with several layers of rusted razor-wire, jut forth from a massive bone frill that encircles its triangular head. The gargantuan korograth's cumbersome, heavily-muscled frame is covered with a thick armor of burnt orange and black-striped scales, hung with rotting corpses and dying prisoners crying out for the release of death. Interlocking plates of greasy, black bone armor surmount the length of its spine and upper flanks, ending in row upon row of wicked spikes near the tip of its sinuous tail. A complex conglomeration of ropes, pulleys, chains and straps firmly secure a miniature stronghold onto the back to the gargantuan korograth. Crimson and purple banners dangle from several tiered platforms of wood and steel that surround the main interior structure, guarded by the hawk-eyed archers perched atop it.

- Arrow Volley
- In one quick motion a Dragon Priest arbiter standing upon a gargantuan korograth sweeps a war fan at an angle across the body and raises it above the head until it points towards the battlements behind the S'Kra Mur. As he gestures, numerous archers and crossbowmen perched on the bulwark begin to draw arrows and bolts from their quivers in preparation for a volley.
- The Dragon Priest arbiter resting atop a gargantuan korograth sweeps its war fan forward in a blur of movement and shouts, "Archers, FIRE!"
