The Terror

The Terror was a strange creature, resembling a chitinous caterpillar, that was sent against the town of Everwater in a surprise attack.

It was defeated by the townsfolk and rallied visitng adventurers who followed Hamfist Goblin-Crusher Took, whom they unanimously elected Sheriff.

The decayed remnants of its outer shell are now mounted and displayed in the center of the town.

Origin
Whatever the creature's true name might be is unknown. It appears to not be any sort of natural beast found in the known world. Suspicion that it came from outside, possibly summoned from worlds unknown, is not yet verified.

Medusa/Orc Connection
Once slain, the creature's head revealed an elaborate magical seal which suppressed its instincts and allowed it to be controlled. The lettering of this magical seal was of Medusan origin, and the sigil was signed in its circular center with the same symbol now found worn by the Orcs of the orc/medusan alliance.
