Ecology
Avatar of Boreas is a being of one of the inner planes, summoned, escaped, or birthed where planar boundaries thin. It is most often found in any regions. It is medium-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights. As a legendary creature, it is rare in the world and likely the only specimen of its kind in the local region.
Behaviour
Avatar of Boreas is simple in motivation but immense in reach — fire wants to burn, water wants to flow. Its Chaotic Evil alignment shapes how it engages with the world — predictable in tendency, even when unpredictable in detail. It is largely instinct-driven; complex strategy is the work of whoever (or whatever) commands it. Spellcasting expands its repertoire well beyond what its physical stat block alone suggests.
Origin
Avatar of Boreas is introduced in Kobold Press's Tome of Beasts 1 (2016). Elementals come from the inner planes — the Plane of Fire, Water, Earth, Air, or the para-elemental borders. Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
