Shinbayak (SIN BA YACK)
(a.k.a. the Ocean's Swell, the Terror of the Deep)
During the Primordial War the storm goddess Maredeth faced down a flight of the most fearsome primordial wyrms so great was her fury and so impressive her prowess that she claimed two of the wyrms as her own. First was Shinbayak, the Ocean's Swell, the fury of the primal seas the covered the world. Its passing drove sea and storm in its wake, scouring the land. Maredeth forced the great beast to chase her for many days and when its power was spread wide and weak, the storm goddess bound her with a chain of lightening around her neck. Now the great wyrms sit at the base of Maredeth's throne.
Physical Description
Body Features
It is said that the beast's flesh is made of the wine-dark waters of the deepest ocean, and its body is so large as to wrap around all of Sanzeia. It is covered in vicious spine formed of the salt of the sea and its maw is a whirlpool from which none can escape.
Special abilities
It is assumed, like most beings of this power level, that Shinbayak is capable of shifting its shape at will. The tales (assuming they are relating fact) refer to it as the "dragon that sits at the base [of the throne]." Thus it is assumed the beast takes a smaller, less world encompassing shape most of the time.
