Teraph

Teraph and it's victim

Tthe Teraphim are dangerous dragonspawn created by the dragon Everblight . As the most patient and silent of his creations, the teraphim guarded his refuge. They burrowed into the earth, where they waited to attack any intruders who did not bear the blighted essence of their creator. The dragon used them in his ancient alliance with the men of Morrdh by sending them to slay those who had been marked for death. Now the teraphim march to war longside the warlocks and the warriors of the Legion of Everblight against the enemies of the dragon.[1]

A teraph is a serpentine, six-limbed spawn boasting a poisonous barbed tail. While lurking in the ground, the creature accumulates a churning mass of sulfurous and acidic fluids in its gullet that erupts in a geyser of black fire and blighted ash upon exposure to air. Its incredibly keen sense of smell allows it to locate any living creature within a hundred yards. Even underground it can find enemies by following the vibrations of their footsteps—then explode from the earth with astonishing speed to ambush them. Everblight’s warlocks can channel this same blinding quickness to launch attacks at foes that draw too near.[1]

Teraphim form an essential element of the Legion’s defensive formations. They are strategically placed like living mines along known troop routes, where they wait to sow terror and confusion with their earthen eruptions and terrible incendiary streams.[1]
