*Just I don't want too many boss monsters I want them to be rare enough that's their isn't an influx of magic items*
*one per biome seems reasonable.*
*Understood! I can design the one for the Gladestone Mountains, if y'all'd like! I have ideas for two monsters actually: One for the mountains, and one for... well, one for inside the mountains. I won't make the second one until at least six of the boss monsters are defeated, though- that is, if I am allowed to at all.*
... Yvonne. Are you going to make the one under the mountain some sort of world-ending final boss calamity sort of thing that is super tied in with the anchient lore? Cuz if you do, I'd at least like some lore representation of the Merfolk, please.

Hiya, there! I'm Gonzalo2, but you can just call me Gonz! (Don't ask about what happened to Gonzalo1.) I'm just an ADHD theater nerd who has too much time on my hands and too little sleep! I'm usually at Camp Half-Blood, which I moderate, and have seventeen characters on. Like I said, too much time on my hands, too little sleep.

For you, the flask is only a small swig, but it burns like venom. Your tongue is scalded and it sears its way down your throat, relishing the pain it causes you. It hits your brain like a hammer blow and even manages to burn up to your nose and fill it with a blazing sensation. The initial shock of this is just pain and hurt but once it settles in your stomach it feels like a warming bonfire that hardens your bones and fills your limbs with strength and energy. You are awake now, perhaps more than you've ever been.
The other men watch as you drink and laugh at your expressions. Then, the giant form of Tayr Siyef appears over the edge of hill at a run. He shouts something at his men and most of them quickly mount their horses and race up and over the hill. A few others bring a horse to the Tayr as well as a spear and a flask.
"Friend Uralll! I'm glad you are here. I've found quite the specimen to tackle today. You will soon see and participate in a sacred tradition of my people. It is a hunt, but it is also a story, a picture of a Tayr and how he should rule his kingdom." His expression is bright and eager and full of energy.
Uralll breaks into a grin, baring his teeth and tusks, takes his spear, and takes off running towards the hill
The Tayr meets him at the top, "Wait my friend. Steady your hand. There is a way this thing is done. Watch." Many of the other nobles and hunters rush at what can only be the bisonboar. The mountainous monster pounds the ground with earthquaking hooves sending huge clods of stone and dirt flying into the air. Huge rolling shoulders steam with sweat and flex with rivers of boiling muscle that supports a huge head of knotted horns and tusks. Its snout is covered in spikes like a rhinoceros, its mouth is crammed full of yellow tusks, and from its brow and head protrude countless branches of pointed horns. Amid this outcropping of bone and keratin you see two small black eyes that shine with blazing rage. The hunters and nobles launch their spears and javelins at the beasts sides and haunches. The darts lodge in the beasts hide and stir up its fury to an even greater degree.
"We, sir, are the kings. They are our soldiers. We command them to go and to hunt, and they do so." The bisonboar makes a rush at one of the riders and sinks its horns into the horse, knocking the rider to the earth. "They spend their lives for us. And why?" He smiles and watches the bloody scene below. "Because we shall slay the monster."
Uralll cant understand his words, but understands his sentiments, and relaxes his spear
"Our people are our greatest weapons." By now the beast is bleeding out from numerous wounds. You can tell that it probably will die soon, but it has some fight left into it. "But us rulers must complete every action. We wield the ultimate power. The power to build and to destroy. And to kill." He turns to you, "Would you like to do the honors?"
Uralll nods, again not understanding his words, but meaning, readies his spear, and charges down the hill
"The eyes!" He calls down after you. "You must aim for the eyes!" The hulking bison bucks and grinds the earth beneath its weight. Its small dark eyes are hemmed in by a thorny death field of clotted horns and tusks.

Uralll looks back, sees you gesturing at your own eyes, grins, baring his teeth and tusks, turns back towards the beast, cuts left, positions his spear with his right hand as a guide and his left hand as the power (Uralll is left-handed), and drives the spear into the bisonboar's eye

*for wildwood? I love elementals so I'm biased, but sure!*
the idea behind the elemental is that ancient mages were trying to summon an elemental strong enough to combat the boss in the sea to protect them from it but something went wrong during the summoning and it got corrupted slaughtering all of the mages and now lives in the center of the island

*that's pretty cool! my WIP lore for the living blizzard (working title) is that its a force of elder cold. it loves to see things freeze over and die because that's what it is. it brings driving snow, freezing rain, and hail wherever it flies, its inner winds making eeire howling noises in the night as it brings a slow, inevitable, end.*

The Grand Architect, in a room beneath the Cathedral of the All-Knowing Orb, stands (well, floats) in front of the delivered artifact from the Bolgimerez excavation- the statue-like relic of bronze and silver and clay. An entourage of scribes are circled around the monument, taking notes of every little detail they can find. The orb drifts a bit closer, looking at the crest on its breastplate. "There were only ten thousand of these ever made- The Arcanofactorum only had so many viable candidates, and only so much time. Two hundred and forty nine are left in the stone of Bolgimerez- two hundred and forty nine others assigned to stand guard. A soldier meant to match five-dozen soldiers. The best of the best, chosen to serve forever. Immortalized." The scribes furiously write down every word he says- pages that would be bound into a tome only meant for the eyes of the Architects. It turns to face one of the scribes.
"Has all the stone been cleared from inside?" "Yes, Grand Architect." "And the source?" "Perfectly intact. Nary a scratch." "Excellent. There should be little chance of failure, then. Are the new crests ready?" "They shall be in two hours' time, at most." "Then we shall wait until then."
The Grand Architect leaves the room of the Cathedral, leaving the scribes to continue to document details on the Old Mehrikethian construct. It would be of great use soon enough.
