Jourarn

Associated in some cultures with the deep tremors of the earth that will crumble in the world and cause about the end of days, these creatures are something of a monstrous nature. Ranging over almost 30 feet long and longer, these creatures burrow and carve through the world as if it was butter, but not for no purpose, for hunting. Whole cave systems of intricate traps have been found in the world that cause dirt or sand to fall into these vast networks to where their prey fall in and are lost for days before tiring and their feasting begins. They are patient above all else, and would rather wait just out of range of any strikes, causing anxiety and fear, than risking physical conflict.
