Life on Titan was created by the gods using the Magical Clay of Throff (see Encyclopedia Arcana: Volume 1, pp. 148-149), and some of the weirder life-forms of Titan appear to be strange leftovers from this process. For example, how else do we explain the profusion of bizarre spherical or globular entities such as Eye Stingers, Diadrones, and Walking Mouths, that resemble nothing else upon Titan? To this list we can add plenty of others, such as the Acid Ball (presented elsewhere in this volume) and the SITH ORB! This terrible beast resembles an armoured sphere, jet black in colour and ferocious of temperament. The Sith Orb floats through the air, levitating at will, and attacking foes by lunging out with up to four claw-tipped tentacular arms. It has a single large blueish purple eye and under this is a slash of a mouth packed with gnashing teeth.
Sith Orbs make excellent guards, requiring minimal sustenance, and are often used to watch over treasure vaults, temples and tombs, especially in the region of the Inland Sea of southern Khul. Here, particularly within the warlike city-state of Kish and its surrounding territories, they are deployed as a last-ditch defence against some of the more rapacious pirates and buccaneers that sail these seas of blood. Despite their name, it is unknown what association the Sith Orb has with the Snake Demon Sith, but the fact the cursed Dead City is nearby to Kish would suggest there may be some link to the Demonic Pit.
