Astral dreadnoughts

Basic Information

Anatomy

Astral dreadnoughts were massive creatures. They had a single, large eye above a large mouth filled with sharp teeth. Instead of hands, they had crab-like pincers, which were incredibly strong and lined with sharp, serrated edges. Their entire body was protected by a layer of strong, spiked armor plates, and their lower half of their body was serpentine. Legend had it that their lower half was infinite, stretching off into the distance.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Astral dreadnoughts fed on the astral projections of travelers. They had little interest in creatures who were physically present on the Astral Plane, unless provoked. Astral dreadnoughts were incredibly rare, in fact they were so rare that it was debated that only one astral dreadnought existed.

Astral dreadnoughts lacked any sort of digestive system. Instead, anything they consumed was sent to a unique demiplane. This demiplane had a breathable atmosphere and gravity. Magic functioned normally there, and a creature was capable of escaping if strong enough, if they were lucky to be even still alive. The demiplane vanished upon the astral dreadnought's death. Anything within was released into the Astral Plane.

Astral dreadnoughts did not require food, liquid or sleep in order to survive.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

The eye of an astral dreadnought was capable of nullifying any magic within a cone-shaped area 100 yd (91 m) in length and 20 yd (18 m) at its widest point. This anti-magic field was identical to the antimagic spell.
