- Age: 20
- Force Sensitivity: Force User
- Species: Leviathan
- Appearance: Xorvyrnog was a monstrous draconic leviathan, spanning nearly a hundred meters from the end of his snout to the tip of his tail. Unlike contemporary leviathans, Xorvyrnog more greatly resembled a giant lizard or wingless dragon. He was also a quadruped, walking on all four of his limbs rather than just the hind two. His hide was tough and practically impervious to anything short of a capital ship's turbolasers, not even a lightsaber could cut through or pierce his armored scales. His dorsal scales were darker in color and more visibly armored, with spiky protuberances jutting out all along his back, limbs, and tail. His ventral scales were lighter in color, being a grayish purple, and were segmented like laminar armor.
His toothy maw was filled with rows of razor-sharp teeth, while his tongue was long and forked. Much like a lizard or a snake, Xorvyrnog's forked tongue was lined with olfactory sensors along the tips that were extremely sensitive to scent particles in the air. Xorvyrnog's senses were so fined tuned that they could differentiate over a dozen different smells at any given time, and could trace where they had originated from. His eyesight was no less impressive, capable of seeing in both light and dark environments, and perceiving objects at great distances with immense clarity.
What was most frightening about Xorvyrnog was his intelligence. Unlike his mundane brethren, Xorvyrnog was entirely sentient and capable of independent thought, speech, and problem solving. His intellect was that he could hold prolonged conversations, although his knowledge of topics was certainly limited by his lack of exposure. However, he was imbued with the ability to consume the knowledge of those he devoured through the blisters that would protrude from beneath his scales when he fed on life essence. The more he consumed, the more knowledgeable and cunning he would become.
Taking the research uncovered by Taeli Raaf, Xorvyrnog also possessed the power to devour the Force as exerted by Force Sensitives. Whenever an individual used the Force to perform feats or materialize energy like lightning or fire, Xorvyrnog could siphon that Force energy into his mouth. As he did this, the spaces between his ventral scales would glow in accordance to what kind of energy he was devouring. Typically, this manifested in two colors; gold for the powers of the Light Side, and purple for the powers of the Dark Side.
However, Xorvyrnog could not endlessly consume Force energy, it would become highly dangerous and potentially lethal to do so. Rather, he would convert that energy into fire that he would then spew forth from his mouth. This fire would likewise assume the same color that was glowing from between his scales; golden fire or bright purple fire for the Light and Dark respectively. Xorvyrnog also had a rudimentary understanding of the Force and how to manipulate it as well, particularly in hypnosis and the weaving of hexes.
- Name: Xorvyrnog
- Loyalties: Darth Carnifex
- Notable Possessions: None
- Personality: Xorvyrnog is a creation of monstrous intellect and ruinous majesty, an artificial leviathan birthed not by nature, but by the deliberate will of Darth Carnifex—Sith Emperor, alchemist, and dark god-king. Conceived in a crucible of sorcery, Sith alchemy, and genetic mastery, Xorvyrnog is more than a beast; he is a son forged from nightmare and calculation. His immense form, nearly a hundred meters long, masks a mind of profound clarity and intelligence. He is bound to Carnifex by something deeper than obedience—by a sculpted loyalty encoded into his soul, a devotion that is both reverent and inescapable.
To most, he is a predator without peer: a sovereign of destruction and a devourer of the Force itself. But to Carnifex, he is an extension of will—a living weapon tempered in the crucible of empire. Xorvyrnog serves without hesitation, but not without thought. His mind is sharp and deliberate, capable of independent reasoning, reflection, and strategic insight. He is an executor of the Dark Lord's will, yet not mindless. He speaks rarely, but when he does, it is with the heavy, thunderous certainty of one who has inherited absolute purpose. Strength, domination, and control are not just ideals to him—they are the language of his existence.
Though a creature engineered for obedience, Xorvyrnog possesses an unsettling depth of thought. His intellect, sharpened by the absorption of knowledge from those he consumes, has evolved into something approaching philosophical. He does not kill needlessly; instead, he studies, stalks, and waits. Knowledge is sustenance—every mind he devours, every Force-sensitive drained of essence, becomes another thread in his growing tapestry of understanding. He hungers not only for flesh, but for insight. Through this slow accumulation, he refines himself—not out of vanity, but to be a better tool, a more perfect son, a more enduring monument to his creator's legacy.
Still, in the quiet spaces between orders, a flicker of existential thought stirs within him. Xorvyrnog is aware of his nature, aware that he was made and not born. This awareness has not bred rebellion—it would be heresy to consider defiance—but it has made him reflective. He ponders the nature of will, of freedom, of self. If every part of him was sculpted by another, is there any piece of him that is truly his own? These are not questions he would ever voice, but they linger deep in his mind like ancient embers refusing to die.
Despite this inner complexity, Xorvyrnog is terrifyingly effective. In battle, he is deliberate and unrelenting, consuming Force powers and hurling them back as divine fire—golden for the Light, purple for the Dark. He is not reckless, for he knows excess can bring instability. Every act of violence is calculated, every movement purposeful. He judges opponents not just by strength, but by ideology, and shows a particular contempt for those who wield the Force without understanding its weight.
To those who meet him, he is apocalypse incarnate. To Carnifex, he is a crowning achievement—obedient, ever-evolving, and incomparably deadly. But within the deep, armored mind of the leviathan, there exists something even more dangerous than fire or fangs: a sentience that thinks, remembers, and wonders. A being that was made to serve… but might, one day, ask why. - Training: The training Darth Carnifex bestowed upon Xorvyrnog was unlike any given to a Sith apprentice or a war beast—it was a fusion of brutal conditioning, metaphysical indoctrination, and alchemical refinement. As both creator and master, Carnifex shaped Xorvyrnog's mind and instincts from the moment of his unnatural birth. Where others saw a monstrous creature, Carnifex saw potential: a vessel of terror, intelligence, and Force sensitivity that could be cultivated into something far greater than a mere pet or a weapon. The training was total, invasive, and relentless—designed to mold Xorvyrnog into a living extension of Carnifex's own dark will.
Physically, Xorvyrnog was trained in endurance, discipline, and obedience through ritualized pain and trial. Carnifex would expose his creation to overwhelming environmental extremes—searing volcanic pits, glacial tundras, void-like atmospheric pressures—forcing Xorvyrnog to adapt or die. Feeding was strictly regulated, and violence was earned through performance, conditioning the beast to associate success with nourishment, failure with agony. Carnifex often deployed Sithspawn and other alchemized horrors to challenge Xorvyrnog in arenas carved into the flesh of dying planets. These were not merely battles, but exercises in control: Xorvyrnog was taught to restrain his instincts, to act with patience, and to follow complex tactical commands issued through the Force and low-frequency sonic pulses.
More than physical might, Carnifex instilled in Xorvyrnog a deep understanding of hierarchy, loyalty, and fear. Through Sith sorcery, he wove enchantments into the creature's mind—wards of domination, dreams of fire and iron, visions of servitude wrapped in apocalyptic glory. Xorvyrnog did not merely follow Carnifex; he believed in him, revered him as a father. The Dark Lord trained him to identify weakness in others, to read fear in the Force, and to exploit it mercilessly. Xorvyrnog learned that the weak exist to be consumed, and that each consumption elevated him further into the realm of power.
As a Force-sensitive being, Xorvyrnog's training was far more esoteric. He was taught to feel the currents of the Dark Side as heat and rhythm, to follow its scent like prey. Carnifex tutored him in the rudiments of Force absorption and redirection, allowing Xorvyrnog to siphon Force energy from hostile actions—turning Jedi powers into fuel for his own breath of annihilation. Over time, Xorvyrnog became adept in force-feeding, draining energy not just through proximity, but through deliberate manipulation of his prey's emotional state: stoking fear, hatred, and desperation to make the Force bloom before ripping it free.
Carnifex also instructed Xorvyrnog in the ancient arts of Sith sorcery—particularly hypnosis, illusion-crafting, and hex-weaving. Using a combination of vocal resonance, pheromonal projection, and low-level Force manipulation, Xorvyrnog learned to cloud the minds of lesser beings, influencing their perceptions or paralyzing them with dread. Though incapable of full spellwork like a Sith sorcerer, he was trained to cast rudimentary glamours over himself, mask his massive presence, or implant subtle compulsions in the minds of the weak-willed.
Perhaps most chillingly, Carnifex exposed Xorvyrnog to captured Sith holocrons and memory-wraiths, forcing him to ingest and assimilate the knowledge of long-dead Lords. Sometimes the information was coherent—battle strategies, rituals, histories—but often it was madness, voices clawing at the walls of Xorvyrnog's mind. Yet he endured. Each psychic fragment added to the complexity of his personality, the weight of his insight. Carnifex taught him to filter truth from delusion, to distill wisdom from horror.
In the end, Xorvyrnog's training was not about control alone—it was about ascension. Carnifex did not simply raise a beast to obey; he cultivated a being that could, in time, rule in his image. A terror not just of scale and flame, but of thought and philosophy. A leviathan of the Dark Side—devoted, deadly, and aware.
- Combat Function: Xorvyrnog was engineered to be a living engine of destruction, capable of overwhelming entire battlefields with his sheer presence. As an individual combatant, he operates with terrifying efficiency, blending the brute force of a titanic predator with the precision and cunning of a seasoned war general. His size alone makes him a cataclysmic force—nearly a hundred meters long from snout to tail, his footfalls shake the earth and send tremors through fortress walls. But unlike many titanic beasts, Xorvyrnog does not thrash or waste energy in mindless aggression. Every movement is deliberate. Every strike is calculated. He knows how to corner prey, how to dismantle armored formations, and how to sow terror before the killing even begins.
His armored hide is nearly invulnerable, forged through Sith alchemy to resist conventional and exotic weaponry alike. Not even lightsabers can pierce his segmented ventral plating or the jagged dorsal armor that bristles with spiked protuberances. In combat, Xorvyrnog employs a wide array of natural weaponry: his jaws can tear through durasteel, his claws can rip tanks open like carrion, and his tail is a living battering ram, sweeping through entire squads with one whip-like motion. He also uses his environment as a tool, collapsing cliffs, shattering ice sheets, or using debris as makeshift cover. His enhanced senses—particularly his olfactory tongue—give him real-time tracking of enemy positions, identifying subtle shifts in troop movement or hidden Force users long before they reveal themselves.
What truly sets Xorvyrnog apart is his ability to devour and redirect Force energy. He turns Jedi and Sith powers into sustenance, absorbing their energy through his armored ventral blisters and using it to fuel his deadly breath weapons. Golden fire for Light Side energy, purple fire for Dark—the result is a devastating cone of elemental destruction that can melt bunkers, incinerate shield generators, or purge entire city blocks. He can weaponize the enemy's power against them, creating moments of strategic horror that shatter morale and sow confusion. His presence on a battlefield is not simply a physical threat—it is a metaphysical one. He demoralizes through dominance and devastates through adaptability.
As a ground mount for Darth Carnifex, Xorvyrnog becomes something even more fearsome: a war platform worthy of a Sith god. Carnifex rides upon his armored back like a conquering deity astride an apocalyptic steed, elevated high above the battlefield where he can survey and command with unchallenged authority. A customized battle saddle—wrought from blackened beskar and enchanted with Sith runes—sits nestled between Xorvyrnog's heavily armored shoulders, complete with gravity stabilizers and a reinforced command harness that allows Carnifex to control his creation through a combination of voice, gesture, and Force-linked thought.
Together, they embody the terrifying union of mind and monster, master and creation. Carnifex can amplify Xorvyrnog's already devastating breath attacks through Force manipulation, or cloak them both in shrouds of darkness and illusion. While Carnifex unleashes Force storms, telekinetic devastation, or Sith sorcery from his perch, Xorvyrnog surges forward like a living siege engine, clearing paths through enemy formations, breaking defensive lines, and annihilating command centers. They are a two-headed apocalypse—one of raw power, the other of refined malevolence—unleashed in perfect, coordinated wrath.
Few armies can withstand such a pairing. Fewer still survive long enough to comprehend what is killing them. For Xorvyrnog is not just a mount, nor merely a monster—he is a herald of Carnifex's will, a beast bred for domination, and a weapon forged for war without end. - Force Abilities (Force User Companions Only):
- Force Drain (Life Essence) – Absorbs the life energy of nearby beings to nourish himself and increase his knowledge.
- Force Drain (Force Energy) – Drains the active Force energy used by opponents (e.g., Force lightning, telekinesis) and metabolizes it into breath weapon fuel.
- Force Feed – Similar to Darth Nihilus' technique; consumes ambient or channeled Force energy from weak or distracted Force-sensitives.
- Energy Conversion – Converts absorbed Force energy into devastating breath attacks—golden fire for Light Side energy, purple fire for Dark.
- Beast Hypnosis – Through gaze, scent, and low-frequency vocalizations, Xorvyrnog can lull weak-minded beings into stupor or submission.
- Force Suggestion – Implants rudimentary commands or mental fog in sentient beings, especially effective when used in tandem with scent cues.
- Mind Shroud – Masks his Force presence or lowers it to appear as an ordinary beast or dark void in the Force, aiding in ambush and deception.
- Fear Projection – Instills overwhelming dread in sentient opponents, making them panic or flee; amplified by his massive presence and aura.
- Hex Weaving – Can curse individuals or battlefield zones with debuffs such as disorientation, weakness, or pain over time.
- Illusion Crafting – Creates fleeting illusions or mirages to mask his movements, confuse foes, or simulate reinforcements.
- Warding Roar – A force-enhanced bellow that disperses mental attacks and can stagger or disorient Force-sensitive opponents.
- Force Sense – Augmented by his natural sensory biology, can detect Force-users, lifeforms, and emotions from long distances.
- Force Sight (Thermal/Empathic Blend) – Sees emotions as colored auras and can distinguish between intent and energy types (e.g., Jedi calm vs Sith fury).
- Precognition (Battle Instincts) – Predicts enemy movement in the heat of battle, often manifesting as superior reflexes or preemptive strikes.
- Force Scream (Sonic Burst) – Emits a shockwave of Force-enhanced sound capable of rupturing eardrums, cracking walls, and staggering enemies.

- Force Repulse (Groundquake) – A massive area-of-effect blast that radiates from his body, capable of knocking back enemies and destabilizing terrain.
- Kinetic Manipulation – Augments his own movements (leaps, charges, tail strikes) with telekinetic reinforcement, allowing him to shatter reinforced structures.
- Force Bond (Carnifex only) – Shares a unique two-way Force link with Darth Carnifex, allowing silent commands and coordinated tactics.
- Dark Side Alchemical Adaptation – May slowly mutate or evolve depending on what and whom he consumes, particularly if imbued with potent Force energy.
- Echoes of Knowledge – Gains fragmented knowledge, memories, or skills from consumed Force-sensitives, possibly unlocking new powers temporarily.
- Blister Traps - Xorvyrnog's feeding blisters—hidden beneath armored plates—can latch onto victims to extract life essence and Force energy. These organic siphons function both as a feeding mechanism and as a trap, paralyzing targets while he drains them. Their placement beneath scale armor allows them to remain protected until activated.
- Force Devourer - He can consume and metabolize Force energy used around him, redirecting it into devastating breath weapons. This makes him particularly dangerous to Force users, whose powers only serve to empower his own abilities. He turns their strength into his fire.
- Extremely Resilient Hide - Forged through Sith alchemy, Xorvyrnog's armored scales are nearly impervious to lightsabers, blasters, and most conventional weaponry. Only capital-grade turbolasers or specialized siege-class weaponry pose a credible threat. His segmented laminar plating allows for flexibility without sacrificing defense.
- Heightened Intelligence - Unlike most monstrous Sithspawn, Xorvyrnog is fully sentient and capable of abstract thought, conversation, and strategic reasoning. His intelligence allows him to recognize traps, ambushes, and manipulate lesser beings through speech or subtle use of the Force. He is not a beast of instinct—he is a tactician in a draconic form.
- Multisensory Predator - With his forked olfactory tongue, enhanced eyesight, and Force sense, Xorvyrnog can track prey across vast distances. He can distinguish multiple scents at once and pinpoint the origin of Force usage, allowing him to locate hidden or cloaked Force-sensitives. Stealth is nearly useless against him.
- Mount of Carnifex - When ridden by Darth Carnifex, Xorvyrnog becomes exponentially more dangerous. The two fight in perfect synergy through a Force bond, Carnifex commanding from his battle saddle while Xorvyrnog devastates enemies on the ground. Their combined presence inspires panic and annihilates resistance.
- Dark Side Wellspring - Xorvyrnog is steeped in the Dark Side, his body and essence marinated in its power since creation. This saturation grants him a natural affinity for Dark Side sorcery, particularly in the manipulation of fear, pain, and corruption. His mere presence can weaken Light-aligned Force users and bolster other Sithspawn or Dark Side adherents near him, acting as a mobile nexus of malevolent energy.
- Damage to Blisters - While normally protected, Xorvyrnog's Force-feeding blisters are vulnerable during use. If targeted while exposed, they can be ruptured or cauterized, causing immense pain and disrupting his ability to absorb energy. Prolonged exposure of the blisters makes them a critical weak point.
- Overconsumption - Absorbing too much Force energy too quickly can destabilize Xorvyrnog's internal systems. If he attempts to devour energy beyond his limit, it may result in violent feedback—seizures, internal ruptures, or an involuntary discharge of stored power. This risk forces him to pace his consumption or vent excess energy quickly via fire breath.
- Capital-Grade Weaponry - While impervious to most weapons, Xorvyrnog is not invincible. Direct hits from orbital turbolasers, heavy proton torpedoes, or mass drivers can pierce or destroy sections of his armor. He must rely on movement, terrain, or shielding from Carnifex to avoid such attacks.
- Means to Control - Though sentient, Xorvyrnog was bred to obey Darth Carnifex and bound by dark rituals and Force compulsions. Should another Sith or dark-side adept of comparable power to Carnifex exploit or replicate these bindings, they may be able to hijack control. He fears mental domination and sorcerous override more than any weapon.
- Magic Vulnerability - Xorvyrnog's hide is impervious to physical damage, but Sith and Jedi battle magic—especially pure Force energy focused on disruption—can bypass or interfere with his internal systems. Techniques like Sever Force, Force Light, or sorcerous banishment have unpredictable and dangerous effects. He is especially wary of Light Side rituals designed to purge darkness.
- Size and Mobility - His massive size makes him an unstoppable force—but also a target. In tight quarters, urban terrain, or zero-gravity environments, Xorvyrnog is slower and less effective. Agile enemies who can exploit his limited turning radius or blind spots may survive longer.
- Ritual Dependency - While potent in the Dark Side, much of Xorvyrnog's power is stabilized through runes, rituals, and enchantments placed upon him by Darth Carnifex. If these bindings are disrupted—whether through anti-Sith magic, targeted ritual interference, or the death of Carnifex himself—Xorvyrnog may suffer catastrophic magical backlash. This could manifest as physical degeneration, psychic instability, or the uncontrollable leaking of Force energy in destructive bursts.
Xorvyrnog began as an idea in the mind of Darth Carnifex long before he truly came into being, a Force-sensitive leviathan capable of siphoning life and the Force itself, one that could terrify even Jedi Masters and level cities as a walking engine of destruction. He would not merely be a weapon of war, he would be a living extension of Darth Carnifex's dark will; an apex predator born from the fusion of Sith Alchemy and dark science.
Carnifex rallied to His side the brightest genetic scientists and depraved Sith alchemists from among His following, bringing them to the barren hidden world of Remnicore. There, the Dark Lord oversaw the gene-splicing of various strains of Sith Leviathans, infused with alchemical metals, dark enchantments, and sacrificial rituals. Mutations were carefully cultivated by gene-engineering batches of Sithspawn whose sole purpose was to be harvested and studied by the Dark Lord's alchemists.
The most important aspect of Xorvyrnog's genesis was the gestation of Force-sensitive embryos in vats of molten black ichor, constantly suffused with the power of the Dark Side through days and nights of unceasing ritual. Tended to by the cultic alchemists, Xorvyrnog's viable embryo was grown in isolation and monitored closely as it progressed through the various stages of accelerated growth.
Upon gestation into a larvae, Xorvyrnog was brought before Carnifex and forcibly bound to the Dark Lord. Magical runes and Sith glyphs were carved into his bones and scale structure to stabilize his immense power and ensure obedience. To fuel Xorvyrnog's nascent sentience, he was fed prisoners and slaves especially captured Jedi. Xorvyrnog would not only drain their life essence, but also absorb their thoughts and memories and amalgamate them into his own mind. Soon, true thoughts and language sprung into his mind, and Xorvyrnog was thus named and raised up as the Dark Lord's monster.
To the young Xorvyrnog, awareness brought with it suffering. He was trained as a weapon by the Dark Lord, his mind growing as he fed and grew, shedding his larval form for a new draconic one. But he was no mere beast, and thus Xorvyrnog was instructed in the Sith arts. He was taught to speak, to reason, and above all else to obey, not through thought of reward, but through agonizing discipline and imprinting. In times when the Dark Lord was not physically present, He appeared to Xorvyrnog as a commanding voice within his mind, constantly pushing him towards obedience.
Training Xorvyrnog took many forms, chiefly in controlled environments where the young leviathan's power over the Dark Side could be shaped to the wishes of his master. He was taken to nexuses of great suffering; ancient temples, vergences in the Force, and the smoldering ruins of battlefields. Xorvyrnog fed upon the negative energy he was exposed to, growing in strength and awareness with each subsequent feeding. To test his aptitude against living prey, he was set upon captured Jedi and even rogue Sith, hunting them down and devouring their essence.
He fought other Sithspawn, killing and devouring them in pitched battles. Assassins hounded him through blackened labyrinths, promised greatness and riches for the one who could slay the monstrous beast. None of them prevailed, Xorvyrnog slew each and every last one set against him and devoured their essence. Each victory emboldened Xorvyrnog, but every failure came with it unimaginable suffering as his master carved power into his flesh and expelled weakness. Suffering gave rise to power in flame's form, as Xorvyrnog learned to channel his darkness and hate into a gout of colored flame from the depths of his maw.
Xorvyrnog was first deployed by Carnifex during an operation to uproot a remnant of the Outer Rim Coalition on D'Qar. The remnant had holed themselves up in a valley fortress, protected from orbital bombardment by a shield generation. To advance with conventional tactics would have demanded a greater price than the eradication of the remnant cell was worth, so the Dark Lord charged Xorvyrnog to prove his worth and eradicated the enemies of the Sith upon D'Qar.
Sith transport airdropped Xorvyrnog beyond the margins of the enemy shield dome, allowing the massive beast to advance through the verdant foothills and towards the valley. Though the fortress was commanded by a cadre of Jedi Knights, they proved no match against the monstrous leviathan as he descended upon them. Their meager weapons were little use against the beast's nigh impervious hide, and gleefully he did consume their Force energy and weave an assortment of hexes and illusions to confuse and disorient. When it was all over, none of the remnant cell survived, and Xorvyrnog had taken to sleeping inside the gutted ruins of their fortress.
More chances to display Xorvyrnog's ferocity came and went, the leviathan growing stronger and stronger with each feast. He was soon outfitted with a harness and saddle, Carnifex Himself riding the gargantuan beast in battle against the enemies of the Sith Empire. Xorvyrnog became a mainstay in shock assaults and planetary invasions, where overwhelming force was needed to break the enemy and leave them exposed to the rest of the Sith forces. He directly attacked enemy fortifications, paving the way for infantry and mechanized vehicles to pour in through the breaches he created.
In time, Xorvyrnog garnered a reputation as a monster, a living superweapon that lurked in Darth Carnifex's shadow. Bound to the Dark Lord, Xorvyrnog lies in wait for the next time he is called upon by his master, his father, to again sow terrible destruction and feast upon those foolish enough to stand against the Sith.
