What started as an office joke about a giant turkey with laser eyes turned into an actual world boss when one of our AI designers made Turkulon on the side. Here is the origin story for Aeternum’s most fearsome turkey.
Around the year 1600, a Farmer needed 100 turkeys to feed the settlement for the upcoming holiday feast. With his deadline fast approaching, the Farmer found an Ancient device that flowed with the power of Azoth. Wondering what would happen if he put his prized turkey in there...
This device had unintended side effects, and the beast became far larger than one could imagine — and escaped!
As rumors circled of a giant, monstrous bird and pamphlets started hitting the town boards, the Farmer (not one to spoil good publicity) promptly announced that he had created Turkulon the Peaceful Giant.
The holiday feast ensued, but Turkulon was not happy with the deaths of his feathered friends. The turkeys of Aeternum have been hunted for centuries. But during the fall seasons, the hunted become the hunters as Turkulon seeks vengeance on all settlers for its fallen flock!
Nearly one year ago, adventurers from all over Aeternum rose to the challenge of Turkulon, the massive and deadly creature of terror. With the monster defeated, peace returned to the villages and the common people were able to breathe easier, knowing they would not be crushed under the deadly claws of the giant bird. For a time, at least.
Rumors have begun to swirl of a shadowy silhouette in the distance, of massive feathers found along the trails and roads of the wilds. People swear they hear gobbling echoes in the night, waking them up from their sleep, unsure if it was real or a nightmare. It seems that the fearful fowl, Turkulon, has emerged from wherever it nested over the past year to once again wreak havoc across the plains of Aeternum.
Once again, the hero adventurers will need to muster their strength and face Turkulon head on. As in days past, they will need to band together to
