Thornmaw the Bonecracker

Unearthed from a collapsed feeding-pit beneath the Skullwood shelf, pried from a bed of splintered remains gnawed to powder over centuries.

The skull is a study in appetite. Jaws locked in a permanent, straining gape, the upper tusks curving down like scythes worn smooth at the tips from use no bone should survive. Its surface carries the calcified striations of something that fed and fed and never stopped, ridged bands of bone-ash marbling into shadow across the cranium, with organic vortex-carved channels raking the maxilla where sinew once anchored. The lower jaw bristles with staggered fangs, each one ground to a different length, a record of prey that fought back.
