ALBASTRU


The Blue Storm



Uragan Albastru is an unusually large and robust wyvern. Including his long serpentine neck and undulating barbed tail, he is almost 30ft in length. His scales are storm-blue, and his fins, wing membranes, and barbs are all a vibrant bloody red. His face is fringed with many smaller spines and a short mane of shiny black fur. 

Like most wyverns, Albastru moves through the air with frightening speed. In spite of his unusual size, under the cover of night he is a surprisingly stealthy predator on the wing. 

Albastru has been trained to the saddle, and is calmed by the sound produced by a Zinjanti brummer - a filigree diamond-shaped medallion, which creates a warbling drone when spun on its short chain. 

Nonetheless, he is a proud beast with a pronounced mean streak. His restless nature makes him dangerous to friend or foe alike -- unless he is governed with a firm hand and stoic confidence.

While not exactly clever, Albastru demonstrates greater-than-average intelligence compared to wild wyverns, probably due to his training. Based on his size and level of conditioning, he may be a relatively old specimen.

Little is known of his previous rider, save that he appears to have been a Zinjanthian warrior who fell to his death while crossing the Nimmerendes mountains. This is significant, as the lost city of Zinjanth and its wyverneers were thought to have vanished since the days of late antiquity.
