卡里布多斯 (Karibdos)

英文原文：Karibdos

History

Long before the dwarves arrived in Ashenfall, an ancient and monstrous creature lay dormant beneath the Umbral Sands, something that by any reasonable account simply shouldn't exist.[1] When a dwarven expedition came upon the region's deposits of adamant and other treasures, their approach roused the slumbering beast, and it surged up in an attempt to swallow the entire party in a single strike.[2] Karibdos attacked by drawing its prey into a churning vortex of sand, and several explorers were lost to it before the rest could escape.[3] The survivors' weapons couldn't pierce its hide, and the beast withdrew to its slumber to wait for another chance.[4]

With Karibdos barring the only way forward, the expedition turned back armed with 精金 whose true 力量 had only just been discovered.[5] When it struck again, its teeth shattered against their 护甲 and its hide tore apart under their blades where nothing else had succeeded.[6] No trace of a creature like Karibdos has surfaced in Ashenfall since its death, though some who live in the desert suspect that's only because no one has dug deep enough to find another.[7]
