Xorrus

Description

Xorrus is a sacred beast, an ancient Golden Dragon at the level of Herald. She is the left hand of the Dragon Monarch. She is called Desert-bringer, the Breath of Destruction, the Eternal Sandstorm. She was one of the Heralds who formed the original pact of Ghostwater.

Appearance

Mainly, she plays a role in Books 7 and 8.

Dragon Form:

Gold dragons who practice the sacred arts are called Sacred Beasts, and if they advance far enough, they can change their animal shape, even take on human shape. Xorrus is a dragon, golden and serpentine, with a cloud of sand rolling around her like smoke. Her wings are each big enough to strike cloudships from the air. She has gleaming fangs, golden dragon eyes with vertically slitted pupils.

Human Form:

Xorrus, in human form, has a perfect human body. Her golden hair shimmered like the sun, and her limbs were in flawless proportion. Even her eyes were human circles instead of draconic slits.

Personality

Xorrus is devoted to her Dragon Monarch like most of the Dragons in books. She is close to her granddaughter Sopharanatoth and was present with her during Overlord advancement to help with any accidents.

Sophara notes that if Xorrus had a flaw, it was that she cared too deeply about her family.

Animosity Toward Akura

Dragons have been enemies of Akura clan for centuries, vying for control of Ashwind continent. Dragons have the Eastern half and Akura had the western half, roughly split. Dragons have always been most hostile toward Akura family perhaps even more than Northstrider who hunts their species.

Dragon Herald is also the mortal enemy of Akura Fury. Clashes of these two herald have leveled entire cities and battlefields before.
