Legend

this was the A'Mar name for the "mightiest of all gundarks" found on the pastoral moon of Lamus. Many A'Mar considered the Beastlord something of a legend, as it had never been seen or captured. This made it the perfect quarry for the coming-of-age ritual known as the Beastlord's Hunt, in which young men and women were required to search out the Beastlord and return with its head. The ritual wasn't so much about locating the Beastlord as it was about understanding what it meant to be an adult, and learning how ot trust one another. During the Beastlord's Hunt that occurred during the Galactic Civil War, a group of adventurers discovered that the Beastlord was, in fact, real. It seemed to be a sub-species of gundark of immense size, and was armed with fangs that dripped a potent poison. This poison was generally harmless if dripped on the skin, but if it was injected into the bloodstream, the result was often fatal. During the Beastlord's Hunt, the creature had suffered several injuries, and tried to drink from the Wellspring to heal itself. The adventurers, who had sworn to protect Olianna during The Vigil, were forced to defeat the Beastlord in combat in order to ensure the success of The Vigil.
