Quetzalcoatlus

The screaming, bird-voiced ghost haunting the tomb beneath Hump Town. When Emperor Anser died, his people built the Necropolis and sealed his entire living court (and his wife, Quetzalcoatlus) inside it alive. Now a non-corporeal, enraged undead queen who drifts through the tomb’s walls, she can only be killed with magic. The subterranean crawlers are quested to destroy her; the changelings, conversely, want the gnome Flesh Mechanic Wynne to give her flesh so they can touch her and absorb her powers: a plan ruined when Wynne was killed.

Book 4 appearances

• Chapter 7 — Morris explains the tomb’s history and the ghost queen the subterranean crawlers must kill.
• Chapter 10 — Juice Box bristles when Carl names her: the changelings’ true goal is tied to the ghost, not the Gate.
• Chapter 21 — The Larracos college believes the deity Psamathe possesses her: making the ghost corporeal would resurrect a god and doom the world.
• Chapter 24 — That theory is debunked: Psamathe was split into a doll and her ooze, not the ghost, leaving Quetzalcoatlus’s true state an open question.
• Chapter 25 — Materializes aboard the Akula with a screaming aural attack that nearly drops Vadim.
• Chapter 26 — A looted page reveals she’s a Wailing Shrieker; the changelings died trying to give her flesh so they could touch and copy her.
• Chapter 29 — Electrocuted to death when Morris connects the drain cable and the storm zaps the flooded tomb: the subterranean quadrant’s “cheat” kill that finishes the floor’s four castles.
