> Rorgramathan’s most remarking features, according to himself, was his two pitch-black obsidian eyes “from which light could not escape”. Adorning his chunky head, two curved horns with cracks running all over them gave him the semblance of a bloated cross between a goat and an anteater. A long and dangly nose ended in two nostrils that ejected tongues of flame every now and then. His body was vast and blubbery, his folds of greasy flesh giving him great defense against physical attacks. Lightning crackled between the skin and long, thick coarse strands of hair that protruded from anywhere on his body. He despised physical attacks but wasn’t defenseless. He had a long vine-like tail ending on a barbed tip that secreted a sticky acidic goo.
