Description
Title: Guardian of the Depths (Reef Golem)"Scouring the oceanic depths of The Cobalt Deep for lost trinkets and ancient treasures, aquatic adventurers, Korvos and Merynn, did not anticipate the sleeping, hulking construct that guarded the domain. Whatever twisted mind came up with the design of this amalgamated monstrosity produced a blend of awe and terror amongst the two treasure hunters.
The underwater golem consisted of numerous rocks and debris put together like broken puzzle pieces, with chunks of coral reef and shells overlaying its exterior. Its body is almost tank-like and definitely centaur-like, sporting four segmented legs made of the same material as the rest of its body.
Its left arm was constructed with skill and precision with its end possessing an armored hand made of underwater rocks and corals.
Its right arm however is almost quite the opposite of its "regular" counterpart. While the bicep and elbow consistently bore the same coral and rock motif and structure, beyond that horrifies the golem's opponents with a huge azure crustacean claw. How the insane architect procured the appendage no one could tell.
At the center of it all lies the true terror of the dreadful construct. Remains of a colossal clam shield its source of power and "life" (or a mockery of it). The source being in a form of an enchanted brain coral glowing in an unearthly bluish-purple hue. Beneath the "brain" lies an unfortunate cyclopean skull, whose purpose positioned there being unknown.
The adventurous duo will have to take a course of escape, seeing that a pair of treasure seekers are no match for a dangerous creature. However, the sea is terrifying and unpredictable, chances of survival are slim."
