Behemoths

Aeons ago, before the rise of the Celestial Pantheons, the universe was dominated by Primordial creatures. The fiercest of the Primordials were colossal beasts known simply as Behemoths. Larger and smarter than any other animal, Behemoths are remembered in legend as dragons, leviathans, and just about every other huge inhuman monster from bygone times.

Like most Primordials, Behemoths are frequently an oppressed minority in Outsider societies. Almost every Pantheon's history and creation story involves the extermination or subjugation of Behemoths. As a result, killing or subduing a Behemoth in personal combat has become an almost universal symbol for power and authority. Consequently, many Behemoths have fled to Earth to take refuge from the culture of violence against them.

Uncivilized Behemoths have been hunted to near extinction so many Pantheons have had to switch to less lethal displays of dominance. Regardless, Behemoths are afforded few rights in most Outside realms, and so many eventually reject Celestial rule and rebels or criminals. This tendency only reinforces the savage reputation that Behemoths have among Outsiders.
