Drivnod, also called the Dominus of Pain,[1] is a Phyrexian Horror on New Phyrexia.

Description

When Phyrexia reshaped the surface of Mirrodin, parts of the very land took on a mind of its own.[2] Entire mountains began to move, becoming godlike Phyrexian creatures known as the Domini. No one knows what the Domini are or whether they think and desire the same way other Phyrexians do.[1]

Drivnod grew out of the skeletal, necrogen-drenched architecture of the Dross Pits. He is a grinning, spiked titan who takes pleasure in torturing lesser life forms. He impales his victims on his staff and conducts them like an orchestra in a symphony of agonized screams.[3]

At rest, his burnished bones shift and murmur in the wind.[1] He smells strongly of rot. His staff is a towering, razor-edged monolith, and the bodies of skitterlings, aspirants - including Belaxis, and a single Phyrexian priest hang from it. Each of them was chosen and placed with care, as the dominus craves their screams of agony.
