Wyrvask, Unrelenting Gaze and Wyrmgod of Balance and Liberation

Return to previous page.

Wyrvask was the second Wyrmgod to awaken, and is frequently referred to as the Wyrmgod of Balance due to its dedication to keeping Talveria in order. It uses its singular eye to watch over Talveria, keeping tyrants, slavers, malevolent Elder Wyrms, and emissaries of the eldest Wyrmgod Iovien at bay. If an Elder Wyrm is interfering too much with Talveria's native mortals, it sends one of its own after it, if a population of any form of life is dwindling, it grants aid through its lesser Wyrms, if a group of people is subjugated by another, it not only sends its lesser Wyrms out to liberate them, it physically manifests itself to inspire the people it is freeing.

For the most part, Wyrvask has been able to keep Iovien's influence under control, though it has been unable to entirely stop Iovien's ability to create more Wyrms. Thankfully, no new Elder Wyrms are known to have been created by it. Wyrvask resides within the domain of Urluuk, a land covered in tall, dark grass and strange winding trees. Wyrvask has also been keeping the unstable Draalskot under control, putting it into a form of semistasis while it tries to figure out a way to stabilize the Wyrmgod. Draalskot is still capable of speaking and creating Wyrms in this state, but it is completely unable to manifest or use any of its other powers. Strangely, while Wyrvask can use its gaze to observe the other Wyrmgods, it is completely unable to observe Vengosa, this unnerves it greatly.

Art

a bulky, dull purple dragon with a single eye in the center of its face and muscular arms in place of wings on its back, its underside is a dull pink. Its head has two, long horns that point straight up, and the front half of its mouth is lipless with visible gums. It has four tusks that point forwards, they emerge from its upper jaw. Its eye is yellow in the center and orange on the edges, its pupil is vertically slitted, and has two more horizontal slits down the middle. Just behind its jaw are four holes. Its front legs are muscular and bear sharp claws at the end, it stands on its knuckles in a similar manner to a gorilla. The arms on its back are longer than its front limbs and end in three hooked talons. Its hind legs are also muscular and end in five claws. The tail is short and hangs down. To its right is its name and title, Wyrvask, Unrelenting Gaze

Notes

I originally designed Wyrvask back in 2021 and it hasn't changed too much physically (except for getting a lot more muscular and its head getting a full redesign), though its personality was very different back then. It was the Wyrmgod of Judgement and was significantly more dangerous to Talveria's mortals, any who caught its eye would be destined to die no matter what. I still kept some of the eye stuff, now it is capable of seeing nearly anything on Talveria no matter where it is physically located. When designing it, I was inspired by bulls and how powerful they are, so I wanted Wyrvask to be physically imposing. I've always depicted it as being a knuckle walker, over the years of drawing it, my ability to draw monsters that stood like that has improved greatly.
