Description
It all started when word spread that Su'Feer'Ir had apparently made camp in a nearby canyon. This barren place was uninhabited and rarely traveled, so when the strange being was sighted there multiple times, locals grew curious. The creature was known to collect bizarre objects and seemingly useless trinkets, so some began to wonder if it had discovered some lost treasure. A lord whose land sat close to this canyon sent his best men to check it out, looking to both rid himself of a potential threat and to see if anything of worth was down there. The men stumbled upon Su'Feer'Ir within a hidden tunnel system, and a fight broke out. Though the battle was long and ended with a few causalities, they succeeded in driving it away from the canyon and their lands. With the creature driven off, the lord sent more men to further explore these tunnels, positive that the objects Su'Feer'Ir sought were somewhere within them. After a few hours of searching, they discovered a recently dug mineshaft, apparently created by the monster's hand. Exploration of this shaft led them to small caverns that contained shards of an unknown metal, a kind they had not seen before. Bringing the odd find to the surface, a blacksmith was ordered to test the metal, and they found that it created weapons that were sharper, harder and more durable than any others. Realizing the value of what they found, the lord had the mineshaft put back to work in order to dig up more of the precious metal. For weeks, they mined the caverns, finding larger and larger chunks of the strange, resilient metal. One day, though, their digging caused a large chunk of the tunnel to collapse. When the dust settled, the new opening revealed a smooth wall made entirely of this peculiar metal. This monolith was covered in strange etchings and holes, which caught the interest of the miners. Upon approaching the wall, one of the panels opened up, revealing a large yellow eye. Then many more eyes opened with it. The miners had unknowingly awakened the Infinity Rook.The large, tower-like entity lifted itself from its fallen position, destroying the mine and miners within. Dozens of silver tendrils emerged from its body, allowing the massive being to climb free of the canyon. Once on the surface, the metallic monstrosity scanned the area with its many eyes and then began its rampage. It scuttled its way to the nearest civilized area, leaving a path of destruction in its wake. Its many eyes could fire off burning blasts of energy, blowing holes in stone walls and burning villages to the ground. Wherever it walked, its many legs would trample anything in its path. When the cavalry arrived to fell the creature, they were quickly mashed into the earth. Arrows and swords were useless against its metal surface, and its legs were impervious to the blade (if any were ever lucky enough to get that close). Siege weapons proved useful at first, as they could knock the towering creature off balance. With its armor, though, these attacks only slowed the entity's rampage. With its enormous size and lethal gaze, the Infinity Rook crushed anyone it laid its eyes on. At first it seemed like this bizarre monstrosity was unstoppable, until some equally bizarre beings invited themselves to the fray.
Hearing about its rampage, the Knights of the Wrong Table arrived to aid in the battle. Though their strange group did not have the numbers of an army, they brought a wide array of skills and abilities with them. With their strange "knights," they would find a way to topple this metal beast and stop the destruction it spread. It would be difficult, but with a slime, an ant, a shade, a polluted water elemental and a catapult, they would take this monstrosity down.

Still doing updates on villains and what not. The good ol' one-off Infinity Rook needed a better new look.

It must have been a buoyant structure with a body shape like that.
