Behold Galvanoth the Genocide; Golden Doom, King of the Skies, The One Who Is Many.
Origins of this beast first began when the Sith Lord observed the iconic sithspawn Battle Hydras, ancient creations by Exar Kun bred for war. The Lord of Lies envisioned the perfect idea for one such creature as a perfect war beast, a mount to wage war and carry him across the field of battle. In the laboratory he replicated the same techniques used to create the sithspawn, except he added many alterations to the standard genetic template, making the beast vastly larger than its brethren, the addition of a third head, and the fusing of a pair of its four legs. Galvanoth was born in the mountains of a civilized, democratic world deep in the unknown regions. It was fed through the ritual sacrifice of thousands, sated on the sound of ritualistic combat it was lulled to sleep by the sounds of war. Galvanoth was the epitome of an alpha male right down to its golden scales, its crown of thorns and its vile beastial intellect. Once it fully matured?
The results were terrifying.
Galvanoth burst through the earth unleashing its devastation across an unsuspecting populace. While the Sith Lord watched the beast hunted its population to extinction, unleashing devastating storms that eventually covered the globe. It was in the ashes of this dead world that he solidified his bond to the Genocide. Inside it he put his cruelty, his fury, his will to dominate life. The beast was given the name of Galvanoth, after an ancient demon created by his ancestor Solomon the Black.
Together they would bring the storm to the enemies of the empire and where Galvanoth went life died.

- Age: 7 GSY
- Force Sensitivity: Force-User
- Species: Heavily Modified Battle Hydra
- Appearance: The creature known as Galvanoth stands at around one-hundred-eighty-two meters with a two-hundred-two meter wingspan, it's weight eclipsing one hundred and forty one thousand tons, a truly colossal behemoth. The creatures body is a beautiful gold and betraying its true malevolent nature. It's scales are increadibly hard and are as tough and resilient as even mandalorian iron, the byproduct of alchemical experimentation. In addition Galvanoth's skin is covered with traces of gold that acts as a conductor, carrying bioelectrical currents all throughout its body. He has electro-receptor molecular biology allowing it to conduct electrical currents, make water vapor heat up to extreme levels, create localized storm systems and otherworldly tempests of thunder and lightning. As beautiful as he is terrifying the beast was modified to be as regal as the one it carries, with each head bearing a crown of long, curved horns and a pair of menacing red eyes. The middle head is distinctly longer than that of its peripheral heads. The beast has a pair of tails capped with great spiked, poisoned bludgeons, that it can rattle to create an intimidating sound.
A pair of massive digitigrade clawed avian-like feet support this giant, additionally it also has a pair of huge batlike wings that can also function as forelimbs to support the rest of its incredibly large body, it's wingtips can also be used to fire bolts of lightning, as well as unleash hurricane force winds. It was a direct design influence by the Shadow Hand that wished for the beast to possess power and support due to the loss of a second pair of legs, so its wings could serve a dual purpose.
- Name: Galvanoth
- Loyalties: Darth Prazutis
- Notable Possessions: N/A
- Personality: The creature known as Galvanoth is one incredibly malevolent, cold, and sadistic creature of peerless brutality. Due to three powerful brains located within each of its heads Galvanoth is actually an increadibly intelligent creature, for an animal with each head having its own form of personality. The middle is the most intelligent of the three, it's the alpha male and the leader while the right is the most bloodthirsty and aggressive. Last but not least the left head is inquisitive and has a form of hyper awareness, although it can often appear as being easily distracted. To Galvanoth there is no distinction between friend or foe on the battlefield all are capable of earning its destructive fury. Only through the powerful bond between himself and its master and creator, Darth Prazutis, can the creatures tendencies be tempered with its masters guiding hand. It is the link between master and beast that Prazutis uses Galvanoth as a terrible weapon of mass destruction, directing his actions as easily as one would any starship, or other such vehicle.
- Training:
Psychically compelled to obey the commands of his master and rider, Darth Prazutis - The beast can be directed to do whatever his rider desires including but not limited to attacking someone or something, restraining himself from attacking, or moving to a certain location
- The beast will ferociously protect and defend its rider, even when the rider is dismounted unless it's commanded, it will not leave his side
COMBAT INFORMATION
- Combat Function: Galvanoth is annihilation on wings, death made manifest whose arrival is heralded by powerful lightning storms. A massive, powerful flying three headed hydra with maws of sharp, serrated teeth. The beast has a malevolent intellect and a powerful control over electricity that allow it to unleash such power in combat for devastating results, from the conjuring of storms to the unleash of powerful electrical beam waves from the beasts mouth that have unbelievable destructive power. Its wings produce a hurricane wind while the beasts massive bulk and flexible neck can allow it to constrict and crush buildings, ships, or large prey with ease.
STRENGTHS
- Alchemical Scales: The dark science of Sith Alchemy has hardened Galvanoth's scales making it tougher than most artificial materials existing in the galaxy at large. They can repel everything from small arms fire to armored, heavier munitions. A sustained bombardment especially from space would be able to injure and kill him. In addition the scales are resistant to lightsabers.
- Master of Storms: Through extensive experimentation bioelectrical currents flow freely through Galvanoth's body, it's very biology is adapted to allow the beast extensive control over and the conducting of electrical currents. This allows each of its heads to unleash blasts of heavily pure, heavily concentrated lightning at enemies. In addition its biology gives it an ability to heat water vapor to extreme levels, the creation of localized storm systems, as well otherworldly tempests of thunder and dark side lightning. In addition the beast can also drain energy from other creatures and the environment around it to use to its distinct advantage.
- Apex Predator: The creatures twin tails have a massive spiked bludgeon on the ends that it can swing as a maul, each of the heads drips the hydras highly acidic, crystallized poison that rapidly dissolves what it comes into contact with. In addition the beasts powerful neck has a constricting ability that can allow its three heads to completely immobilize and constrict large prey. Lastly, the beast has a regenerative ability to restore one of its heads should they be severed, but this is by no means fast, and it only functions for its heads.
- Rider Psychic Link: Galvanoth shares a powerful psychic connection with its rider Darth Prazutis. This allows him to command the beast as if it were an extension of his own body, the beast was created for the sole purpose of serving the will of the Sith Lord, additionally its three heads are all willing servants in the Lord of Lies destructive plans making it utterly subservient to his will alone.
- Huge Target: Due to its massive size at one-hundred-and-eighty-two meters in height Galvanoth is virtually always the largest target on the battlefield, it cannot be easily missed by sight or gun. Although its alchemized scales can sustain a tremendous amount of damage, the beast is far from invincible. Enough sustained fire can damage as well as bring him down.
- Softer Neck Scales: A byproduct of its extensive bioelectrical body the scales running along its neck are softer, thinner. This is where a majority of the enemies fire would be concentrated, by any clever foe looking to bring him down.
- Warning Sign: Whenever the creature is about to unleash its powerful breath weapon, the scales along its neck glow a blinding gold light.
- Force Nullification: If theres one thing that has an impact on Galvanoth its force nullification. A large enough aura of force nullification can massively interfere with his intricate biological system cutting the beast off from its electrical abilities, severely crippling the creature. If its deprived of this system for long it will slowly start to die.
- Force Light: Just like all creatures born through the profane sciences of Sith alchemy, Galvanoth is more harmed by Force Light than by any conventional weapon. There is no resistance towards it and its impact causes Galvanoth catastrophic damage. Both the beast and its rider are fully aware of the damage it possesses, and these enemies are often targeted with extreme prejudice.
