Skarid is a Dark predator born in the caverns beneath the world where light has never reached and sound itself struggles to travel. His body is wrapped in jagged chitin plates that grew around him like armor as he hunted ever larger prey, each crack and scar marking a victory rather than a wound. He does not rely on sight; instead, Skarid senses the heartbeat of living creatures, tracking them through stone and shadow with terrifying precision. Legends say entire tunnel colonies vanished overnight after disturbing his territory, leaving only claw-scored walls and silence behind. Unlike mindless beasts, however, Skarid hunts with intent — he seeks powerful opponents, believing strength is proven only against resistance, and when he emerges from the darkness it means he has chosen a worthy challenge.
