Kxacchtahl (pronounced kex-Zek-chik-Kaal) is a being of pure chaos in mind, body and soul. He traverses all dimensions and planes, his mission to spread the 'truths' of the multiverse. He teachs that the outer planes ordered function is merely a cage for mortals, a trap that the gods set up. Infact he has an entire organization in the infinities of the Far Realm, and his head-quarters reside in the jungle of Glax-iai'pak (glay-ee-Pax, more commonly known as the Bladed Sky among planar sages. He hates all forms of control and order, and petty concepts of good and evil. The only forces that him and his followers see is those of law and chaos, and he sees law as being the center-point of all the bad things in the planes. Though he tolerates neutral beings, he feels pity for their self-induced order.
Kxacchtahl appears as a 16 ft. tall baboon-like humanoid, he walks with a hunched gait, his legs and short and canine-like, but his arms are long and gangly like a gibbons. His body is covered in a wild, tangled fur that is beige overall, but interspersed here and there are pacths of blue and red porcupine-like spines. His long hairless tail looks like a squirming earth-worm, and at the end of it protrudes a dog-like fanged mouth that lets out a gout of cold mist. His body crawls with about 20 tarantulas, each are about 12 inces across and covered with bristles colored like a tigers fur, thankfully, these things are harmless and never leave Kxacchtahl's body. His hands end with vicous 5 inch-long black nails, and his back is peppered with nervously-twcithing, madly-swiveling, blood-shot eyes. His ribcage is bony and visible under his skin, and his stomach should be their is a violently-vibrating dark orb, inside skeletal-hands can be seen waving hand gestures around in its thick, syrupy centre. His ape-like head is mostly all mouth, which is a foul unclosing thing, and despite its awesome appearance it isn't used to bite with, his tail accomplishe's that. Those who look carefully inside can see a pair of tiny red pin-pricks in the gaping void, like malevolant little-eyes. If he so desires, a 20 ft. scorpion-like tail flashs of this pit to strike at his opponents, accompanied with a deep resonating snake-like hiss. A single amber colored, cat-like eye sits dead-set in the middle of his forhead, that blinks with vertically like a lizard, and where his hair should be there is s slithering mass of goat-headed vipers.
If his real form wasn't horrifying enough, he can explode into a bloody mass of tentacled sinew and muscle at any time. His body becomes covered with gristle-stained mouths and saliva, and black worms squirm all over his bleeding form. Plus the black orb in his stomach begins to bubble up humanoid entrails. Thankfully he rarely does this, only resorting to it when angered, and for a being of chaos, Kxacchtahl is surprisingly calm, if inexplicably fast and agile for his apparent mass.
Kxacchtahl wears jewlerally made from horse bones, which he decorates with crimson patterns and pentagrams. He has two weapons. One is a madly flying, spinning Scimitar called ravager moth and a Falchion that screechs horribly whenever it clangs in melee, called realitys whisper. He speaks and understands all languages.
COMBAT
Kxacchtahl knows his superior speed and invinibility will pull him through a fight, only the most powerful adventurers could ever hope to take him on. Infact he feels somewhat merciful to those who aren't involved with his quarrels, he just prefers people to spread the tales of his almost god-like powers, and he enjoys the confusion and disorder it causes. But even a beast such as he is has a dogma, for he would never harm those who were not involved in his ventures.
