Behemoth (Great)

Behemoth (ベーモス, Beemosu) are a race of humanoid, bullish, bipedal beings inhabiting the eastern reaches of Desierto. Originally spread across the continent of Ishgar, they were banished to the barren lands of Desierto by a confederation of several races. Said alliance was forged by a continent weary of the battle-hungry, raider-happy, pillage heavy nature of the race. It was expected that the race would perish in such harsh conditions, confined to especially arid strip of eastern Desierto, with a hostile Bellum army facing them across the border, mountain ranges in the north, and only sparsely populated desert in the south and west. Instead, they thrived, forming loose confederations centered around clan lineages. They remain a menace to non-Behemoth populations, though recent generations are attempting to remedy that.
