Omaranthax was a mutated beholder that lived in a cave in the Thornwood by the Lake of Steam in the late 15th century DR.[1]

My transformation is almost complete. What hope have you against the power of Omaranthax?
— Ormaranthax[2]

Description[]

Due to its unique mutation, Omaranthax's eyes had become mouths and its fanged mouth was filled with a single red eye. Its gray body was covered in blue spellscars. When seriously injured, Omaranthax transformed further and its eye extended out of its body on a stalk.[2]

Personality[]

Like others of its kind, Omaranthax was self-obsessed and dishonest. It had a habit of referring to itself in the third person. It was also single-minded about its transformation.[2]

Relationships[]

Ormaranthax had been a foe of the Keepers of the Celestian Order for many years.[3] It was served by many foulspawn minions and a trio of warped gas spores.[2]

History[]

In the Year of the Ageless One, 1479 DR, Omaranthax performed a ritual using the magic of the Plaguewrought Land in an attempt to gain power. However, it lost control of the ritual and violently mutated into a new form. Ormaranthax was pursued into the Thornwood by the Black Arrows, a group of the Keepers of the Celestian Order, where it barricaded itself into a cave along with its minions.[3]
