Drak, the Last Grimmdrake

= Origins = The Grimmdrake are a noble and extremely powerful species that guarded the evil Nightmare Heart and had kept it in check for thousands of years, to make sure it hasn't fallen into the wrong hands. They also feed the Scarlet Essence of the Nightmare Heart to their children so they grow stronger. Until one fateful day, one of the Grimmdrakes had fallen under greed and possession of the Nightmare Heart, and stole it from them. They used to destroy the territory and spread the Nightmare Heart's influence. Their goal was to destroy the entire species, but fortunately, a powerful Grimmdrake known as Drakarius had used a forbidden spell to seal the Nightmare Heart into a vessel of the Troupe, as well as destroy the possessed Grimmdrake completely. Unfortunately, he was forced to seal itself into a charm, and revert back to it's first form, as a simple Grimmchild. It would have no memories of it's past life, and only serve to protect the one who would wear this charm.

 

That day had come when a vessel had stumbled into a large temple, alit with scarlet torches and held stone statues of large dragon-like creatures. They seemed to look at him as he walked through the large corridor. He stopped as he eyed a simple pedestal in the edge of the temple. He walked to it and saw only a simple charm on the top of the small pedestal. A stone message was engraved on it, holding strange writing. It says "Child of the Last Grimmdrake". He takes it out as the temple begins to shake and roar. He quickly ran out as the temple began to crumble on top of him. He barely made it out just in time, with him flat on the ground. As he stood up, he looked to see only a small Grimmchild looking at him. It had stood and floated up to his head level. He tilted his head in curiosity and it had done the same. It then immediately nuzzled him while happily chirping for its new master. He looked to see that the charm came on his scarf. He then thought of a name for the little creature, and he remembered the message on the pedestal. Just after, he had named the little Grimmchild  'Drak'. It had seemed to zip around him quickly, chirping oh so happily, finding out that it had a name of it's own. The Vessel seemed to love it's endless happiness. And so, he told the Child his name

 

Scorpion: "My name is Scorpion. And I think that we're gonna have a lot of fun together."

= Overview = A rogue 1st Stage Grimmchild that follows Scorpion. He was found near the Grimmtribe's area, inside of the charm. This Grimmchild actually has a bright red scar over his right eye and 4 small horns on the sides of it's head. He is also seen to have two scars on his underbelly. He values Scorpion as their best friend and master, and would do anything to protect him. Though the Grimmchild isn't capable to attack effectively, it tries it's best to do so only to protect its master. It was the only thing that kept Scorpion company throughout the lonely parts of his travels. If Scorpion were to ever die and respawn into a shade, Drak would stay by the shade and be near Scorpion's broken skull while crying small scarlet tears. Once they feel more comfortable near someone other than Scorpion, they will usually show affection to that said bug.... or vessel. He is also able to make scarlet fires, but not use them offensively.

= Phases = Phase 1: Resembles a Phase 1 Grimmchild. Cannot attack in any way except doing a headbutt. Has four small horns on the sides. He also has a scar on his right eye and two scars on his underbelly.

Phase 2: His mouth opens up and reveals a scarlet maw filled with fire. He resembles a Phase 4 Grimmchild the cloak-like wings, a longer tail, an open mouth, and red underbelly, but no red eyes but black eyes, similar to the first 3 Grimmchild phases. This is because instead he has scarlet snake-like pupils. He also has small legs that he uses to perch on Scorpion's shoulder. Small fabrics cover the wings like Phase 4 to resemble Grimm's Cloak. His horns on the back are similar to Grimm's, except he also has two pairs of smaller horns coming out from the sides, and there are spikes protruding down his back. It grows a short snout, similar to a dragon. He is also seen to have small quills on his tail. Fire seems to seep out of his mouth from the overflowing Scarlet Essence he has collected from Pharloom and Firecrest. He's also the same size as a Phase 3 Grimmchild. The tips of his wings glow scarlet when he readies a Flare Wing attack.

Higher Being Phase: This is when it evolves into it's High Being Form. Even NKG can't stand up to this monstrous thing. These creatures were born to hunt insignificant child-murdering Wyrms like the Pale King and disgusting moths like the Radiance.

Higher Phase
N/A

= Unique Ability =  Scarlet Burn : All members of the Grimm Troupe are able to use this ability, but they are not immune to it. Drak on the other hand, is immune to it's effects, which is how Grimmdrakes are able to absorb and eat the Scarlet Essence from the Nightmare Heart all those centuries ago. Absorbs any spell created with Pure Scarlet Essence from sources such as the Nightmare Heart itself only. It also makes him immune to any type of burning effects, such as acid burns, fire spells, etc. The more Scarlet Essence he absorbs, the more powerful he becomes.
