Username: Truegreen
Name: Cannone
Species: Large Tube
Gender: Tuboid
Color: An insidiously unassuming #696969
Description: Cannone appears to be an eight foot pillar of metal. Closer inspection will reveal that it is hollow in the center. Even closer inspection would reveal the minute glowing sigils engraved around this hollow space and conveniently reveal their function, violently preventing further inspection. When in motion Cannone will often roll along the ground. When threatened, however, Cannone will propel itself end over end at its attacker, a frightening and often lethal display of aggression.
Weapons/Abilities: Cannone is engraved with two different human runic languages and one of unknown but most certainly alien origin. Each of these scripts describes a specific enchantment placed upon Cannone. The original purposes of each spell are long forgotten. The spells have twisted and changed each other, interacting in unexpected ways. The result is Cannone's unique set of skills. For one thing, Cannone seems to be able to change its composition to virtually any solid. Its central chamber exerts a powerful pull towards its center. Anything unlucky enough to enter either aperture will be trapped in the center of the tube. Once an object is trapped Cannone will do one of two things. It will violently rip the object apart or expel it at great force from itself.
Biography: Cannone was originally found at the bottom of a crater in Sicily. Then, merely an inert, if unusual, metal tube it was passed on from collector to collector. Very few ever recognized it as magic. Only one was foolish enough to think he could harness its power. The Italian wizard was momentarily surprised when his runic scribbling brought the artifact to life. He was then ripped into individual atoms and scattered around the room. Cannone proceeded to rampage through the Italian countryside. Crops were torn from the ground, roads were reduced to mud, and many a small brave dog was devoured by this unstoppable terror. And then it just disappeared. Some still wonder what happened to it. Most are just glad that it's gone and pray it will never return.
