Monstrously large and intelligent dinosaurs, black tyrannos serve yuan-ti masters in guarding their ancient temple cities even after their original masters died and the secrets of creating more of their kind have since been lost. Ancient Masters. Once serving the forefathers of the troglodytes the xulgaths, these massive dinosaurs guarded their temples and served as the main defenders of rulers of the reptilian masters as they lorded over their slaves. They served as guardians of their main temples and ziggurats, protecting xulgath monarchs and priests from assassination attempts and the like. Ritual of Depravity. Black tyrannos were created in a magical ritual that sacrificed thirty slaves of the same race to the serpent gods, granting a bound tyrannosaurus rex, the intelligence of that race sacrificed along with some personality quirks related to that race as the dinosaur was infused with evil and divine might. For example, a black tyranno created by slaying only elves will savor brutally murdering opponents, taking time to make their demise as artistically ironic as possible. One created by sacrificing dwarves will be a steadfast and brutally efficient guardian and so on. Holdovers of the Ancient Era. When the yuan-ti moved into the ancient temples of the xulgaths still lost within the jungle, the black tyrannos, accepted them, their magical conditioning seeing them as the next best thing to serving a xulgath. They will gladly serve the rare xulgath over a yuan-ti however and will enforce this by attacking any yuan-ti who dares dispute this either verbally or through attacking any xulgath. |
