Here is an updated representation of Enos the Shatterer, Lord of the Sea of Dust. He is a truly massive creature - nearly 20 feet in height at the summit of his powerful hump. For many years the armies of men have known true terror when the trembling earth hinted at his approach. His arrival is often heralded by a massive sandstorm - a benefit afforded by his total mastery of his element. Most foes are too blinded to mount a coordinated defense, their practiced formations quickly succumbing to the scouring force of a veritable wall of dust.

By the time they realize their true peril they have already fallen prey to the lurking threat concealed within the blizzard of grit, a bloodthirsty horde of fierce Ta'leru warriors. Soldiers swinging blindly into the the sand-swept gloom cut little more than air, as the agile nomads deftly stab and slash them open with their wickedly curved blades. The defending force falters with confusion as the Ta'leru vanguard saps their beleaguered defenses - they pray desperately to their absent gods for a reprieve. Then the anvil hits - 40 tons of stone transmuted into dense, merciless muscle. Enos' physical onslaught scatters the terrified soldiers like dead leaves in a gale; goring, trampling and launching the hapless men skyward. The melee is typically brief - at this point the battle is essentially over. Those who flee the slaughter are ruthlessly caught and cut down - their heaving entrails exposed to the indifferent sun.

Triumphant, Enos consumes his fill of the maimed and dying, their cries of agony stifled by the dust-choked air. Meanwhile, the able-bodied remnants of the opposing force are rounded up for accounting. A third of the survivors are sacrificed on the spot, their blood offered as a sacrament to the blessed earth. The remainder are bound together for travel. They will undertake the long march into the arid steppes that Enos and the Ta'leru claim as home, where they will either serve their new masters as slaves, or be served as flesh for the feast.

A sketch that I ordered from Carota17 ( https://www.furaffinity.net/user/carota17/ ). I had long wanted to fix Enos' hindquarters, which I have always found a bit slight for his enormous bulk. Can you believe that this was only $25? Her value is amazing, and she offers extremely high fidelity to the original concept. Definitely check her out!
