In the heart of Crius lies an unparalleled force of nature, a colossal entity that eclipses mortal comprehension — the Chiton Titan, a living embodiment of raw, untamed power, classified as a L.U.C.I.D. (Lethal, Unnatural Creature of Inherent Danger) level monster. This behemoth, reminiscent of a colossal crustacean, boasts a concave carapace brimming with elemental prowess, a body seemingly hewn from the very essence of the landscapes it graces.

What sets the Chiton Titan apart is its ability to adapt utilizing special waters drawn from the Twilite Drift, a chameleon of destruction. Its form mutates based on the surroundings in which it reposes; whether stirred from the depths of a smoldering volcano or roused from an icy slumber, its manifestation mirrors the elemental energies it absorbs. The sole constants are its awe-inspiring size and its formidable form.

The origins of this colossal force trace back to the founding era of Veargreum, a society of potent mages intent on fashioning an unparalleled living weapon to safeguard their new nation. Their success in birthing a formidable entity, however, was overshadowed by their inability to command the uncontrollable force they had unleashed.

The Chiton Titan, seemingly impervious to true demise, perpetually slumbers and regenerates after each apparent defeat, patiently awaiting the call to awaken once more. This perpetual cycle of rebirth, however, holds a dark twist. The creature bestows a unique boon upon the lands where it rests — an augmentation of natural resources that, over time, attracts populations seeking prosperity until its inevitable reawakening.

As the Titan stirs from its dormant state, the years preceding its awakening witness a gradual rise in temperature, culminating in the creation of a molten pool of destruction. Traditional confrontations are challenging. Its chiton exoskeleton, formidable and impervious, thwarts conventional attacks, while its ability to consumer magic renders spells impotent.

During its awakened state, the Chiton Titan becomes a relentless seeker of magic, compelled by an unyielding urge to consume. The more magic it devours, the longer it remains awake, escalating the scale of devastation it leaves in its wake. Scholars posit that this insatiable craving stems from the mages' original intent, seeking to harness magic to empower their creation.

In its initial manifestation, the Chiton Titan not only wreaked havoc but also spawned progeny — offspring their eggs resembling meteorites that descended upon the Tormek mountains, eventually hatching into the peaceful Miner Crabs. Paradoxically, while these miner crabs embody a semblance of tranquility, the Titan, upon reawakening, tracks down and eliminates any offspring growing too formidable, ensuring its dominance remains unchallenged.

The Titan's method of locating its progeny lies in the resonance of special sound waves, audible only to its offspring and itself. This unique ability also serves as an early warning system for the Tormeks, whose miner crabs sense the impending awakening and panic collectively.

Yet, the mystery of the Chiton Titan lies in the ephemeral nature of its slumber cycles, shrouding its history in the mists of time. While the immortal elves and wise Kandjii may retain the memories of this colossal force, other mortal races dismiss it as mere legend, the tale of a mythical creature lost to the annals of time.

In the contemporary era, the Chiton Titan lies dormant beneath the rolling hills in the region, concealed beneath the Slumbering Hill. A group of fervent worshippers has taken residence in this locale, venerating the crab they believe to be the benevolent architect of their country's landscapes and the excavator of the Tormek mountains. In their misguided reverence, they fail to perceive that the Titan, in its essence, shapes through destruction rather than creation.
