Virulent Bilemaw

Return to previous page.

The Virulent Bilemaw was one of the first Wyrms created by Wyrvask. Unlike the other Wyrmgods, Wyrvask never ceased to create more members of its initial attempts at life, as the Wyrms had already became a part of Talveria's ecosystem and their removal would likely throw things out of balance. Compared to other Wyrms, the Bilemaw is rather mundane, both in appearance and ability. It is named for its toxic bile, which can be seen in the various bile-sacs on its throat. The bile causes muscle stiffness in small quantities, and may kill in larger amounts. The two mandibles on either side of their jaw are typically used for digging, though they are known to impale threats with them under certain circumstances, this has given many untrained Wyrmkillers an early death.

a drawing of a quadrupedal monster on a textured green background. The monster's skin is reddish and its head is covered by a smooth grey carapace. Two mandibled extend from its jaw and its mouth is wide open. A pink membrane connects the mandibles to the lower jaw, and the inside of its cavernous maw is yellow. Its neck is very thick and the underside is bulbous, covered in various yellow=green sacs. Its body is stout and tailless, its front limbs are muscular end in three large claws, plus a smaller thumb claw. Its hind legs are equally as muscular  and end in three more claws.

Notes

This beast was one of the first Wyrms I ever designed for Talveria, this was before Wyrms were even connected to specific Wyrmgods. I wanted this monster to look very powerful, yet relatively mundane.
