The Stygian

The Stygian is an Ashworm that serves as one of the Destroyer's Chosen and a boss from Darksiders.

History
After Samael was imprisoned by the Destroyer for attempting to rebel against him, Stygian and the other Chosen were tasked with preventing his return. The only way Samael could return to power was by consuming their hearts. However the Stygian was later captured by the demons in the Ashlands, who didn't know that it was one of the Chosen. They had made a habit of capturing creatures and forcing them to fight in arenas and the Stygian was one of them. After War was sent to get the heart of the Stygian by Samael, he managed to fight his way to its prison after reclaiming his mount, Ruin. There he managed to fight it and eventually kill it, tearing out its heart to bring it to Samael.

Abilities
The Stygian's mammoth size makes it extremely powerful in terms of physical ability and it can also burrow through the ground to leap out and attack its prey. However its does have a weak point, its mouth.
