009 – Mezoan

There are some realms across the face of Posterra so inimical to life that it often perplexed people that life, as they say, found a way. One of such places are the Sea of Acids. Not in fact a singular body of corrosive liquid, but rather a barren landscape dotted endlessly with various pools, lakes and rivers of plenitude of burning, toxic, oxidizing chemicals, a remnant of some long forgotten and especially vitriolic conflict on some enormous scale, so filled with hatred that all the fighting sides decided to use the worst they had in their collective arsenals. And yet, nature loath a void, and decided to roll up its sleeves and get to work. Of course, with some help – few things cannot be achieved with a touch of eldritch magic or astonishing heights of xenotech capabilities. And so, nowadays, the Sea of Acids is thriving with terrible life. From gas emitting bacterium to humongous, stilt-legged prowlers that roam through the acidic landscape, feeding on birds and unfortunate adventurers. One of the more curious form that emerged lately, touched no doubt by the Dreadwake lunatic designs, is the Mezoan – a leathery snake of powerful muscles that invaded some time ago another species and made a close parasitic symbiosis, using the scuttling beast as a carrier to be able to swiftly relocate, hunt and scare the living soul out of anyone who see this baleful thing emerge silently from a frothing, bubbling pool of corrosive chemicals.
