Description Des'icteric was one of the seven titans created by the Gods to help build their domain and rule the mortal worlds. Their immense size and power was originally used to destroy the cities and armies of the Gods Of Dawn, a task that lasted many decades to complete. With the Gods of Dawn banished, their remaining creations and species fell to the might of the Titans and faced utter annihilation. Before their task was complete, one surviving species (falsely) warned the Titans of the new Gods, claiming that the Gods would take away their power and worlds when the job was completed. With such poisonous thoughts in their heads, they became convinced that the Gods would cheat them and give them nothing after their many years of service. Realizing the Gods were too strong to take on at the time, they continued their efforts and waited for the right moment. With the help of a traitorous Svlranix, they kept tabs on the Gods and their disputes, taking note in their quarrels and fights. At last, a time came when each God of the pantheon stood apart from each other, torn over a dispute of territory and power. The Titans struck at this time, taking out major cities and destroying sacred temples to further weaken the Gods. Planets fell to their power and the Titans claimed them and ruled over them with a harsh hand. Unfortunately, they failed to realize how such an event would unite the Gods with a common cause. With their followers and worlds in danger over this new threat, the Gods put aside their differences and retaliated with brute force. Though large and strong, the power of the Titans could not match against the united strength of the Gods. Broken and defeated, the Titans were turned to stone and buried deep into the earth, forced to remain in slumber for centuries to come.

Des'icteric is both a close range and long range fighter. His three heads are capable of firing narrow sonic beams  that can slice through flesh and stone. When in close quarters, his sharp beaks can land tearing bites, and his long arms can throw sweeping blows and fast jabs. His moves about by swinging his lower body forward between his two arms, using the flexible, horn-like structure as a foot. Occasionally he will use this as a weapon, throwing his weight forward and turning his whole body into a powerful blow.

Des'icteric has a burning hatred towards the Sea Goddess, due to their final battle before their imprisonment. When Gods and titans clashed, the Sea Goddess was the one who fought Des'icteric. He fought hard, but as one titan cannot overpower a God, she easily trapped him in her tentacles and used her enormous crab-like claws to violently snap two of his necks. With him broken and bleeding, she left to help the others finish off the rest of the titans. Though the process was long and painful, he was eventually able to rearrange his neck bones back in place to heal, but by the time he had, the rest of his brethren had fallen. His anger towards his defeat at the hands of the goddess remained in him, even after he was turned to stone.

I love this mythos you set up! And I'd like to see the gods too (if you haven't shared them already; I haven't finished looking through your recent uploads.)

I have not drawn up any gods yet. Heck, I haven't even drawn all the titans. But that is something I definitely want to do over this summer.
