A scheming creature, always lurking in the shadows until it is time to strike. Smaller then the other unchained, this entity should not be underestimated as it has the sophistication to alter reality with a snap of its fingers. Seems to have a preference for consuming dragon type creatures as observed by the offerings it receives. Not much else is known except that it is always scheming unknowable plans in the background of any civilization of notable size.
