Description
Bestiary artwork for Endless Realms , a D&D-like "pen and paper" fantasy RPG I'm working for.

Any hope of subduing him is false; the mere sight of him is overpowering. Who can strip off his outer coat? Who would approach him with a bridle? Who dares open the doors of his mouth, ringed about with his fearsome teeth? His back has rows of shields tightly sealed together; Strength resides in his neck; dismay goes before him. When he rises up, the mighty are terrified; they retreat before his thrashing. The sword that reaches him has no effect, nor does the spear or the dart or the javelin. Iron he treats like straw and bronze like rotten wood. Arrows do not make him flee, sling stones are like chaff to him. A club seems to him but a piece of straw, he laughs at the rattling of the lance. He makes the depths churn like a boiling cauldron and stirs up the sea like a pot of ointment.

Nothing on earth is his equal—a creature without fear.

The most important thing while designing this creature was that he needed to feel MASSIVE - not just big, but heavy and unstoppable. While I didn't follow the descriptions exactly, my main source of inspiration was the original biblical description, which I've included in part above.
