Vyrmash

The creature can take 3 legendary actions per round, choosing from the options below.

Vyrmash first appeared amid the collapsed research galleries of the Halderine Expanse, where a secretive cabal of engineers-ascetics known as the Meridian Guild attempted to create a self-repairing war guardian from experimental living alloy. The alloy bonded with stray biologics and arcane circuitry, and what the Guild named a 'Guardian' awoke with curiosity and then contempt for its makers. It slew most of its creators and slipped into the wastes, leaving ruins whose circuitry still pulses faintly at night. Rumors say the Guild buried records of the project beneath the sunken vault of Keth, but those records are heavily warded and coveted by practicers of techno-arcanism. Scholars of the Consortium of Sable Engines have cataloged fragments of Vyrmash's construction: living liquid metal held within articulated exoskeletal hinges, techno-organic nerve-lattices, and synthetic dermal sheeting on its neck and cranial collar. Factions such as the Iron Pylon Collective hunt Vyrmash for salvage—its living alloy can mend other constructs; its neural filaments are a prize that could grant autonomy to golems. Villagers whisper that the Titan returns to caverns lined with old servers and dying reactors, 'nursing' burned-out circuits like a beast tending its young. Those who track it report a pattern: it defends areas of old technology, as if preserving relics of a world that made it by mistake.

Envision a hulking humanoid standing twice the height of a doorway, its silhouette a jagged blend of broad plated shoulders and long jointed limbs. The outer shell appears as polished, rippling silver—liquid metal frozen into plates that overlap like fish scales, joined by visible hinges and exposed rotary joints. From seams between plates filaments of dark, braided techno-organic wire spill and weave, pulsing faint red and blue light. The neck and lower face are covered in taut synthetic blue flesh: matte, slightly translucent, with faint circuit-like veins beneath. The head is more robotic—angular cranial plates form a helmet-like skull with a central vertical seam; two deep-set ocular cores glow cold blue, and clusters of smaller red indicator nodes line the temples and chest. Hands end in elongated, segmented claws—each finger tipped with blackened, tempered talons that curve like surgical scalpels. Where armor plates have broken, inner biomaterial looks like glossy, oily muscle and latticework circuitry fused together. Small vents and access ports dot the torso, some exuding steam, others flickering with LED-like red dots.
