Appearance: An intriguing, if not slightly horrific-looking creature whose physiological structure, while sharing attributes similar both to that of avian and draconic creatures alike, does not take away from what is fundamentally a chimera-like entity. Broadly, it strongly resembles that of a bird upon initial inspection, but any length of time reveals no shortage of attributes that in natural occurrence would not manifest, save for nightmarish types of mutations only further mutated through generation.

Immediately, the red 'flesh' membrane that covers over much of its inner body, having texture and tone that almost resemble that of flayed, exposed skin. Even more disturbing are thick, lengthy vein-like patterns that spread all throughout, from its chest cavity unto both wings and tail appendages. These appendages, though having a loose similarity to that of the appendages of a bird, deviate in not only their physical form (almost appearing like that of elongated tendrils than wings), but also from the series of claw-like extrusions that enwrap along the ends of each respective appendage, bearing an uncanny resemblance to that of an open clawed paw.

Rather than a beak or a face that would otherwise appear avian, its head is far more draconic in appearance. Its head curves forward, bearing striking similarities to that of snakes and wyverns alike. Above both eyes - hollow, bright blue eyes lacking any discernable iris - are large horns that curve forward, extending the near full length of its head. Dark tendrils form at the base of its lower jaw, extending down the length of its neck, disappearing within a magnificent ruff that encircles around its lower neck and billows out over its backside.

Description: Zera'thul is a rare example of an aberration; a creature whose origin is not inherently native to Earthland but rather is the unintended product of a artificial experiment, whether alchemical, magic-related, or scientific in nature. Per Zera'thul, it came in a somewhat successful attempt at creating a chimera, a new species created through the forced fusion of two different species - a practice long since outlawed due to the numerous potential ramifications, both ethical and practical, attached.

While the project that created Zera'thul could have been deemed a success, it also came with the unintended consequence of not only providing it with sentience, but also having an inherent appeal towards the idea of chaos. Beyond just possessing such an affinity towards, Zera'thul in fact seems to possess a sort of hunger towards chaos, almost as though drawing sustenance from chaos of all varieties and actors.

Quite where an entity such as Zera'thul came into the company of someone like Vyra Emrakul remains largely a mystery. Some speculate it was drawn to the powers of the Nightmare Dragon existing within the Demi-Human. Those familiar with the girl suspecting that the conflict within her own mind; the war waged between Vyra's darker persona and her own true personality being a hugely appealing source of chaos in perpetuity. Whatever its motivation or reasonings behind the union, the two have developed an almost parasitic sort of relationship towards Vyra, as much benefiting from the chaos within her life whilst forcing a level of reliance from Demi-Human upon it.

Personality: In a way, dismissive, Zera'thul presents a strange, if not horribly cruel perspective towards the world as a whole. First and foremost, it exists as a breeding ground for chaos to manifest, grow, and eventually become consumed. Therein, there is no purpose within the world outside of carrying on to eventually be devoured, and by extension its people bear no purpose other than to further that along and be consumed as well. As far as Zera'thul views humanity as a whole, their worth is limited to how destructive and self-destructive they behave themselves. And even through that, their lives possess no intrinsic value, easily replaceable by any other individual.

Perhaps the exception that Zera'thul has come to regard towards humanity is in how it views Vyra Emrakul. In some respects, it is the hand controlling the strings to her puppet, its persistent presence around her manifesting within her in an unconscious feeling of lingering need towards it. In this, she has become a thrall of sorts towards it, being as much unwilling to depart from its companionship, while also serving as a perpetual source of chaos from which it can feed from, regardless of the impact that sort of nourishment and parasitic-dependence has upon the Demi-Human.
