Gavodborz

The gavodborz is not all intimidation however; it is a legendary beast, seemingly built for combat. It is capable of delivering severe damage with its claws and teeth, it can fire ''frostblast'' beams much like a [[kallwolf]], and it can also spit large balls of magic energy known as ''mist balls''; projectiles about the size of an orange, which explode into clouds of obfuscating mist. These mist clouds are used to disorient opponents, or to conceal the borz's attempts to escape, should it take too much damage and need to retreat.
As should be expected for a Threat threat level 5 creature, even well-prepared adventurers may find themselves having trouble defeating a gavodborz, as their entire body is reinforced by a type of natural, subdermal scale armor, covering the near-entirety of the beast's body, giving the gavodborz a bulky, chiseled appearance. This armor is bullet-resistant and comparable in protection level to medium body armor. As such, if you plan to fight a gavodborz, bring sufficiently powerful and/or armor-piercing ammunition, or other types of weapons that can reliably deal with such threats.
This creature has existed since the beginning of the [[History of the Mazes|medieval eras]], being referenced in numerous books. However, the etymology behind this creature's name does not appear to have any roots in the [[Languages|Old Tongue]]; there are no corresponding words or word roots that would make sense, and it seems the creature has been referred to as ''gavodborz'' since it first appeared. It is therefore unknown what ''gavodborz'' could be transliterated to, if anything.
