Woshtark Dragon

"Like a terrible sea monster it burst forth towards us, but not against us, but to save us from the creatures below." - Sailor tales from Erestia

Much like the tales of great sea serpents and great monsters from below, these creatures are no different. While they do not hunt mortal vessels, rather the great black monsters in the depths, they still hold the appearance of great and powerful monstrous beasts.
