Biography[]
On the island of landmasses converged by the Nameless God exist a race of aquatic dragons known as Kraekans, which have killed many sailors and imprisoned the survivors within the island. The largest and strongest of the Kraekans goes by the name of Kraekan Dragon Skourzh, a beast feared by humanity since the day man first traveled by sea. This is due to Skourzh's ability to manipulate the weather, using his powers to create powerful storms to sink any ship that dares to approach the island so he can deliver the souls of the drowned to the Nameless God. This makes him responsible for causing the storm that sinks the ship the player is onboard while attacked by the Unspeakable Deep. However, the player survives the sinkage and is taken ashore to the island.
The player does not encounter Skourzh until very late in the game at the Crypt of Dead Gods, the second to last area in the game. He is a powerful foe with strong attacks and highly resistant to strike weapons and electricity while taking mild damage from all other elemental attacks. His primary attack is to use his trident to strike the player from above or the side, but it can also use it to cast two electrical attacks: one where he holds it up to create a ball of lightning that quickly launches at the player, or a series of three volleys where three rays of lightning strike the ground and cause small spike-like obstacles that stay on the ground for a while, harming the player when they are too close to them. He can also breathe lightning at the player similar to the Kraekan Wyrm, although its best to dodge towards him rather than away as the lightning will not reach his underside. Once the dragon is finally vanquished, he drops one of his horns and allows the player access to the Still Palace to confront the Nameless God.
