Ecology
Zalikum is a built thing, requiring no food or rest; its presence in the world depends on whoever (or whatever) animates it. It is most often found in desert regions. It is huge-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights.
Behaviour
Zalikum is follows its programming or its master's orders without deviation. Its Neutral 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.
Origin
Zalikum is introduced in Kobold Press's Tome of Beasts 2 (2020). Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
