The God-Beasts

Behemat

The King of Giants and father of all gargants, a mountainous God-Beast whose fall shattered the earth and scattered his colossal children.

Behemat is the God-Beast of giants, the King of All Gargants, a colossus so vast that mountains were merely his resting places and rivers ran in his footprints. In the Age of Myth he strode the realms as a power of Destruction unmatched, tearing the roots from the earth and casting down the works of gods for the simple joy of ruin. From him, legend holds, descend all the gargants that yet lumber across the Mortal Realms.

Behemat's pride brought his fall. In the great wars of the age he set himself against gods and God-Beasts alike, and though his blows toppled empires, at last he was laid low, broken and scattered across the land. Where his sundered body came to rest, hills rose and his monstrous progeny woke, the Sons of Behemat, who wander still in search of the reverence and plunder owed to their fallen father.

Whether the King of Giants is truly dead or merely sleeping the slow sleep of the earth is a matter of gargant faith, for his children believe he will one day wake and reclaim his crown. Until then they stamp across the realms in his name, smashing citadels and eating whatever runs too slow, each a shard of Behemat's ruinous majesty. The God-Beast endures in every earthquake and landslide, a reminder that the largest things in creation fell hardest, and left the loudest wreckage behind.
