Umudara

Umudara, the Sentinel Beast, is a bull spirit that protected the Veluthil Forest before the fall of Molaesmyr. At some point before the city was destroyed, he was petrified. He was moved to Uthodurn, where he was displayed as a statue in the throne room until he was accidentally restored in 843 PD.

Description
Umudara is a massive bull that appears to be ethereal until he attacks, at which point he takes physical form. Visibly strong and of great mass, he is 8 to 9 feet tall at the shoulder with horns that are each 6 to 7 feet long and curve forward into sharp points. His body seems to contains starscapes, and his heart can be seen through his body, and it appears like a distant star. His body gives off a reddish-purple glow. His eyes also glow in a manner that suggests red glowing suns, but the light fades as his emotions are calmed.

His breath is exhaled as black clouds, at least while he is attacking. He is strong enough to puncture heavy metal doors and destroy stone pillars.

Before Campaign 3
Umudara lived in the Veluthil Forest of the Greying Wildlands of Wildemount. He was guardian of the forest and one of the Great Beasts of the Veluthil. As he was unaware that the forest had been consumed by a blight, he was petrified at some point before or contemporaneous with the fall of the elven city of Molaesmyr in 585 PD. At some point before 843 PD, his petrified form was moved to Uthodurn, where many of the surviving elves fled, and was displayed as statue in the throne room of the Grandcast Citadel in the city's Grand Disc. An accompanying plaque was installed, reading in Elvish: "In memoriam of the fall of Molaesmyr".

Campaign 3: Bells Hells
The activation of the Malleus Key on the Apogee Solstice in 843 PD dispelled many enchantments throughout Exandria, including Umudara's petrification. He awoke in the throne room confused and was attacked by frightened royal guard. Umudara retaliated, prompting those present (including Queen Simone Fruunast and King Imathan Talviel) to flee and treat him as a threat. He sought to escape to return home to the Veluthil Forest, but he was locked inside the Grand Disc. Umudara killed multiple guards and failed to break through the gate.

When Bells Hells entered the Grand Disc, they saw from a distance Umudara wandering the neighborhood. Confused, frightened, and at a loss for options, he returned to the throne room and settled there. Imogen Temult read his mind to discern his fear and confusion, but he attacked when Fearne Calloway accidentally drew his attention. Using a variety of magic, the group calmed him and communicated that they sought to help him return home. They successfully convinced Umudara to allow them to lead him to the surface and convinced the Uthodurnian military to allow him passage to the city gates.

At the gate, however, Umudara could not sense the Veluthil, which was consumed by blight unbeknownst to him. Bells Hells informed him that home lay southward, and he departed in that direction.

Abilities

 * Charge: If Umudara moves at least 15 feet straight towards a target before hitting it with a Gore attack, the target takes extra damage and must make a Strength saving throw. On a failure, the target is pushed 20 feet away and knocked prone.
