Apollion

Born from the molten core of the world during an epoch when mankind's hunger for wealth reached a crescendo that made the very earth weep, Apollion emerged as the physical embodiment of avarice itself—a serpentine leviathan whose five crowned heads gleamed with gold, silver, sapphire, jade, and ruby, each a mirror reflecting the insatiable desires of those who gazed upon them. The creature's obsidian body coils beneath the glittering metropolis it conjured from nothing, a city of impossible beauty and terrible purpose, designed as an elaborate trap to ensnare the greedy and weak-willed. To ensure an endless procession of victims, Apollion wove a cruel curse into the very fabric of the city's treasures—any precious material that dares leave its jeweled streets crumbles into rust and ruin, binding the covetous to remain forever within its walls. Every thirteen days, the five-headed beast rises from the depths to feast upon the raw psychic energy released by those consumed by their own greed, their desperation and madness nourishing its unholy form while it births new horrors disguised as decorative wonders and manifestations of the rust plague. After gorging itself on such spiritual sustenance, Apollion descends into a thirteen-year slumber beneath the city, its hunger temporarily sated, leaving its minions and curses to maintain the population and ensure that when it awakens, the feast will be even more bountiful than before. The creature serves the Beautiful Death, that enigmatic faction of chaos and finality, as both instrument and monument to the destructive power of unchecked desire.
