[b]Agorophaetox,[/b] 
...one of the innumerable 'Elder Arthropods', brother to ROM, the black spider, whose spittle still protects her children in the form of stinging mists. The molted carapaces of the behemoth cicada scar the land, in ever increasing size. Some minute civilizations have grown so impudent as to claim these carapace tombs and build cities and fortresses upon their chitinous knolls. 

Known by many names; Screaming Thing, Devourer of Whispers, Dark Phaetox, and many more, it is said the maddening screams of Agorophaetox can still be heard in echoes as far as Nuneland, and the Gemstone Mountains. 

Agorophaetox's appearance is a brutal thing, membranous, winged, with terrible bulbous eyes and thick, black claws. It is an enormous monster-taller than any mountain in the world. It has no speech, or motive other than slumber and the futile search for a mate and has lay dormant for eons, awakening only to shed its carapace, sound it's city-shattering cry, and then shiver, defeated back beneath the earth.
