Name
The Gemesaur King
Species
Helmasaur (Boss)
Physical Appearance: The Gemesaur King (Art by Kackington on dA)
Appearing as a fully grown Helmasaur, the Gemesaur King is massive in size, standing as tall as a two-story building and just about four times as long. As with all Helmasaurs, the bulk of its body is covered in a hardy hide and its front shielded by a naturally-formed helmet that protects its forehead.
Blessed by the holy powers of Princess Hilda's Dark Magic, the creature also has visible changes covering it in the form of shimmering gems that line the bulk of its body, tail, and helmet, giving it an even more dangerous form to even be near.
Background
Long ago, the Gemesaur King existed in the form of a Helmasaur King as any mature creatures of its kind did. However, being such an old and powerful, it held a place of importance in the culture of the Lorulean peoples. Some revered and worshiped it, almost as a powerful spirit and guardian of the kingdom.
When the Demon threat descended upon the lands, it was one of those great beasts which the people of the land turned to in search of protection. And so it was then decided by the ruler of Lorule Kingdom, Princess Hilda, that she would embrace this worship of the creature and she too sought for its assistance in protecting her people. The goddess descendant appeared before the great creature and blessed it with her dark power.
And from then on, she has used its power as an ally to her own.
Skill Set
As a fully grown Helmasaur, the Gemesaur King has immense size and immense weight. This makes being near it alone especially dangerous as it could easily crush another under its own weight, and it is only even more dangerous in form due to the crystalline formations that riddle its body, tail, and helmet. Get near it, and it could very nearly impale you with a swing of its tail.
In addition to its natural offensive traits, the lizard also has many natural defenses. Its hide is naturally thick, almost being plated like armor along its back, and the front of its face is guarded by a huge helmet-like structure. The gems lining its body also provide it with a form of protection. These gems and its helmet can be damaged by immensely powerful blows (such as by explosions or extreme brute strength), but this is well beyond the strength of mortal man.
The creature is furthermore empowered both physically and magically by the blessings of Hilda.
While the creature can no longer breathe flames as other mature Helmasaurs would be able to, sacrificing its long-range attacks, its physical capabilities have been enhanced. The Gemesaur King is startlingly fast for its size, able to charge and barrel down through lines of enemies with ease, making it a perfect natural battering ram and path clearer in large-scale battles.
However, battlefields become truly advantageous for it when they are shrouded in darkness. It is in the darkness that its true blessings from Hilda come to light. When light is minimal surrounding the great beast, a wave of dark energy covers its form, protecting it and making it nigh invulnerable. The simple light from fire is enough to dispel the protective barrier from around its body, but it can in turn unleash a wave of dark energy to extinguish flames.
Special Note
This is a boss that Hilda has the power to summon. However, the cost of summoning it expends so much magical energy that once she brings it forth, she will no longer be a viable combatant, meaning that the Gemesaur King will be fighting in her place. Though I will continue to role-play her, she will not be available to fight on the front lines.
