The portal ripped open slowly, and an eerie figure emerged.
First, two sinister legs appeared, followed by its torso and, finally, a grotesque head.
This Monarch belonged to the Hreh'tar race, the very aliens the humans were currently fighting.
But something about it felt wrong…
The numerous tentacles sprouting from its body writhed, but unlike the others, these ones moved with uncanny precision. Twisted and reshaped, they formed two massive, grotesque wings extended from the creature's back, as if forged in the very essence of death.
Even more unsettling was the distorted form of its head, with the faint silhouette of a crown visible.
At a towering height of several dozen meters, the Monarch resembled less an alien and more a fallen angel… One that had escaped the deepest pits of hell came to unleash destruction upon the human forces.
