Ecology
Empyrean (Celestial)* is a being of the Upper Planes, present in the world only when summoned, sworn, or sent on cosmic business. It is most often found in any regions. It is huge-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
Empyrean (Celestial)* is principled and deliberate, its actions tied to a cause it believes in. Its alignment varies by individual or is irrelevant — it acts on instinct, drive, or whoever commands it. It is intelligent enough to plan, scheme, or remember. Spellcasting expands its repertoire well beyond what its physical stat block alone suggests.
Origin
Empyrean (Celestial)* is codified in the 5.5e Monster Manual. Celestials originate in the Upper Planes, sworn to one of the cosmic ideals (good, law) that those planes embody. Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
