The Fault Ripper, "Terrasector colossus"
Fault Rippers are giant dragons, up to 300 meters in length from the tip of their blazing hot horn to the end of their tail.
They are part of the "monumental class", which among six others was used to describe the various types of dragons during viking times, however, only one of these groupings is considered even close to being taxonomic.
This... titan of a dragon is seemingly almost entirely senseless in its head, it seemingly only feels and hears things.
it has an acute pair of ears with sharp hearing when it's screeches echo back at it, giving it a full 3D image of it's surroundings. Very useful when they enter caves, canyons or other features underground... or when they come across their favorite prey, Whispering Deaths.
Without Fault Rippers, the populations of the earth-eating amphitheres would go out of control and cause the entire hidden world to collapse.
This creature's horn and many spikes are a a scorching hot 3,000 °C, hot enough to melt literal diamonds.
An elderly male individual, un-affectionately nicknamed Tunnelborer, ripped open the Kullersen Fissure, the very place that ICARIS was built upon, during a brawl against a teenage Screaming Death.
ICARIS' director of Geology, Dr. Olivia Kullersen, hates this individual fault ripper for reasons that will remain classified.
