Taotie

It is unknown how Taotie actually looked like. The Dark Lords and the most powerful of their servitors appear significantly more aligned with the human minds - with, for example, Metatron and her servants appearing 'angelic' - however it is not their ACTUAL look. It's just a self-censorship that human minds enforce upon themselves, seeing them as the closest approximation that they could handle.   Taotie is even more troublesome on that field than the Dark Lord' average. That's because no one has ever saw him (her/it) and lived to tell the tale. In fact, it is believed that no one has ever saw him a tall - instead every engagement against him was a long series of sneak attacks that instantly killed their victims, ranging form a single soldier lost in the jungles of Furya to entire Universal Assault Units.   As a result, it is currently unknown if Taotie even 'looked' in any way, with many suggesting that it was more of a 'living idea' of an apex ambush predator.

Almost utterly unknown, save for Taotie's ability to remain invisible and somehow sneak behind a human in order to execute an instant kill. Cameras and other sensors maintaining a 360 degree range of observation around the victim did nothing to deter Taotie, leading some to suspect that it was capable of traversing through some unspecified other level of Reality in order to pull their victim inside, kill, and then 'return' the corpse to its place - all of that in less that a single microsecond.   Analysis of its victims remained inconclusive, with Taotie's apparently possessing fangs and claws of multiple sizes and forms, ability to use several types of poison and numerous forms of damages that found no match in Earth's databases.

To say that Tao Tie was 'cornered' at any point would be fundamentally incorrect. He was an apex predator to end all apex predators, so deadly that even the most powerful of beasts of Furya didn't dare to try to steal even a tiniest bit of meat from the decaying corpses of his victims.   Sure, Mankind invaded his realm. Only to discover no fortresses to capture. No throne room to attack. The entire planet of Furya was a deadly trap, and the Tao Tie was at its center. He devoured entire armies, executing six-digit number of sneak attacks in a span of an hour or two. He avoided any attempts to learn anything about him, simply by refusing to be seen.   Despite his relatively young age, he was responsible for the longest period of stalemate during the Throne World attack. This lasted until Mankind run of patience, and decided to go for something much more original.   Tao Tie devoured another division-sized unit of the human army - only to discover that the bodies he devoured carried minuscule containers filled with botuline A, Earth's most potent poison. Tao Tie ingest enough of it to kill tens of billions of humans - and yet managed to survive, albeit highly weakened.   What he didn't survive was the homing beacons located alongside the poison capsules. Mankind continued to carpet bomb its location with mass destruction weapons for days, until the sudden spike of magic power (that then promptly dissipated) betray the fact that the apex predator of Furya has finally perished. But the body was never found, and the homing beacon simply died out.
