Aptorian is a towering demon, her black head and limbs contrasting with her dun grey torso, her three bony legs carrying her across hostile sands. Scarred from battles, she first appears as a background menace, later bearing a youth rider on her shoulder with unexpected care. Her single flat black eye and needle fangs mark her as a creature of both violence and strange loyalty.

Description

She stands nine feet tall, her head, neck, and limbs black, her torso dun grey. Three bony legs support her angular frame, and a single flat black eye stares from her flat, elongated head. Needle fangs line her scarred mouth, and her movements are both sinuous and mechanical.
