Anything within was released into the Astral Plane. The demiplane vanished upon the astral dreadnought's death. Magic functioned normally there, and a creature was capable of escaping if strong enough, if they were lucky to be even still alive. This demiplane had a breathable atmosphere and gravity. Instead, anything they consumed was sent to a unique demiplane. Īstral dreadnoughts lacked any sort of digestive system. Astral dreadnoughts were incredibly rare, in fact they were so rare that it was debated that only one astral dreadnought existed. They had little interest in creatures who were physically present on the Astral Plane, unless provoked. Ecology Īstral dreadnoughts fed on the astral projections of travelers. Astral dreadnoughts projected an aura of fear. This anti-magic field was identical to the antimagic spell. The eye of an astral dreadnought was capable of nullifying any magic within a cone-shaped area 100 yd (91 m) in length and 20 yd (18 m) at its widest point. Their pincers were strong enough to easily crush a humanoid, and their powerful jaws could chew through even the strongest of armor, even capable of severing a silver cord. Very few creatures encountered one and lived to tell the tale. Combat Īstral dreadnoughts were a devastating force in combat. Legend had it that their lower half was infinite, stretching off into the distance. Their entire body was protected by a layer of strong, spiked armor plates, and their lower half of their body was serpentine. Instead of hands, they had crab-like pincers, which were incredibly strong and lined with sharp, serrated edges. They had a single, large eye above a large mouth filled with sharp teeth. Astral dreadnoughts were massive creatures.
