The shadow of the eight heads rose high, staring down on the mortals gazing upon its otherworldly visage.
Its eight tails rose from behind, waving a hypnotic dance.

...A primordial fear stemming from their DNA.

The embodiment of Chaos. The monster from the myths.
The godly monster, slain by the God of Thunder, Susanoo.
Yamata-no-Orochi. The eight-headed serpent god of the Lost Era.
