Runic Skychonk is a Splinterlands character.

Splinterlands is an NFT Trading Card Game based in the world of Praetoria.

Lore:

The runic skyclaw armor is a miracle of runic engineering—sleek, agile, and terrifying in the air. But when the Riftwatchers delivered it to Ulundin to aid in the fight against the Conclave Arcana, no one stopped to ask the obvious: Can an ulund even fit in one of these?

On Kombu Tembo, it’s… snug. The first time he tried to take off, the wings creaked, the servos groaned, and the result was a puff of smoke and a lot of swearing.

But it’s not all bad. The armor still works. The rune-core still hums. And it boosts his spellcasting just fine.

Sure, he can’t fly. Not even close. But as the Conclave Arcana barrels through time itself, Kombu Tembo stands his ground, sparks and water magic flaring from his palms, his grin wide enough to match his waistline.

Turns out, you don’t need to fly when your spells hit like freight carts.
