Orochi

Creature 18 (rare) — amphibious, beast

Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.

An orochi is an enormous serpent with eight heads and eight tails that lives among large waterways. Orochi are vile, amoral creatures kept at bay only with yearly sacrifices. Most settlements unable to satisfy an orochi with a sacrifice soon meet their destruction.
