Also, maybe tell it the purpose why it was created.
I'd ask what purpose you're thinking of, but genocide seems to be the prevailing idea so we'll go with that.
Which fell right into my plan.
-----
You look at your champion and thoughtfully empower it.
"Thank you?" it says nervously.
Indeed. you reply.
I need you to do something. There is a species of lizard called the Onyd. I need you to kill them all....Yes, sir.What the Hells are you doing?Solving your problems.Yeah, remind me never to ask for your help.Your champion sprints across the jungles of Onydia, killing any onyd and many other creatures it comes across. When its wounds look mortal, you heal them. Many powerful onyd, empowered by both Ores and Zera, come to try and stop the rampage, but you just make your champion stronger.
Soon, nearly every onyd on the planet has been slain. The survivors worship a new god, whom they call Wormface and Beastslayer and the Unstoppable. They, in fact, worship your champion.
You watch. The life on Onydia is adapting to your champion, nameless as you, slaughters the larger of the life forms on the planet. Within a month, the only creatures larger than, say, a human child are a few onyd hiding from their dread lord and whatever flatworms and other non-reptiles were larger than that threashold. Around that time, you receive a message.
Thox convinced the Big Guy to come over for an inspection soon. You didn't hear it from me.What will you do?
Form: Crystal Sphere, full of colorful mist which can form into appendages or little creatures.

Two worlds
Tra
Geology: Mainly ferrous rocks, with large deposits of copper and gold in many areas.
Wildlife: Blue plants. Southern continent wildlife is mainly land-living cephalopods, such as the tendrilled walkers--squid which walk around on their tentacles, using their eight arms to snag food.
Sentients:
-Dwarves:
--Southern: Dark skin, red hair. Highly intelligent and well-known for various questionable/criminal activities. Good at ice magic.
--Northern: White skin, yellow or orange eyes. Excellent sight, excellent weather magic. Inefficient feudal system. Once followed the Whale Spirits, but turned their backs on them for Ores, a god.
-Gnomes: Pale skin, dark hair, violet eyes. Possess no bones. Noted for skill with medicine, social situations, and witchcraft. Worship a hierarchial, matriarchial pantheon of gods and goddesses who they believe are generally distant and uninvolved in their lives. Religion focused on rituals. Government is...ethical, it its own way. Mostly scattered tribes. Half-dwarf, half-human.
-Humans: Dark hair, fair skin. Marry late and rarely have kids. Precognitive alchemists.
-Manormul: Misshapen worms with many elongated arms. Divided into several castes with different jobs and appearances. Complex system of holidays. Complex reproductive cycle. Dictatorship.
-Ordynars: Skinless cephalopods. Lead by hunters. Involved in a cold war with dwarves to determine fate of the gnomes.
Onydia
Geology: Mostly igneous rocks
Wildlife: Green-chlorophylled plants like jungle ones. Animals are 80% reptilian, but with a few birds, gastropods, and flatworms. There is also a species of semi-planarian beings with tentacles and sometimes arms and/or intelligence.
Sentients: Onyd, giant stubby-limbed reptiles. They have sweet pheromomes and are 60% servants. They create more onyd with a ritual to their god, in which lizards are turned into new onyd. They understand how the mind works but are typically depressed.
Other bodies:
Feer, gray moon orbiting Lyt
Jauns, yelow moon orbiting Tra
Lyt, lavender sun
Pakin, gray rocky moon orbiting Onydia
