[@The Grey Dust]

I can work in some history for the last two-thousand years.
And a tank? I said it weighed as much as a tiger, dude.

Anyways, I get that it's a real nasty, and like a killer beast folks will want it gone. Thing is, it's a personal enemy. It would pick on one character at a time, making itself their personal nemesis. I won't say kill them, because honestly, it's not as powerful as you think. It can be a real nightmare for someone that has no tactical sense, but with a little elbow grease and the right kind of offence, it can be beaten by a single character.

Case in point, its latest fight in the Arena. Take a gander. I'd say it would have a fair bit of trouble taking on more than one strong vampire at a time.
By the way, this is a good chance to read the book after looking at the cover. I'll include some of its other matches after the one it died in, so you can get a real taste for its actual strength and personality.

Note how in [i]The Soil of a Man's Heart[/i], I gave Edrik a very good warning of the looming threat so that he could prepare his character for round #2 (which he never showed up for, because you know, us Arena types easily forget about unranked matches when a more important roleplay pops up). He had many days to think up a game plan. I like creating an intense story, an experience. Winning the fight isn't a top priority.
