He is the only mortal being in Glorantha who knows how to bring forth the Sky Terror. This is a colossal chaos monster along the lines of the Crimson Bat, the Hydra, or Cwim. In Dragon Pass terms, I believe it is around a (12)/-2/10 flying/*
It does have limitations. It cannot spend more than a day outside Dorastor, because it feeds on ambient chaos particles in the air, and few areas are able to supply this besides Dorastor and similar hell-holes. So basically it can fly out of Dorastor, attack, then fly back next turn before it "dies". Of course, if Dorastor is engaged in a major excursion, the chaos would issue forth, too, and the Sky Terror could remain in operation.
Other Ralzakark thingies of note: he has his own private cult of Humakti sword-broos, his own private cult of Chalana Arroy healer-broos, his own private access to the colossal Demon of the plateau, which is essentially an entire chaos deity like unto Wakboth or Thed. He can't summon forth the Demon, but he can use it to do things for him.
In addition, as the closest thing to a respected leader that Dorastor has, he can make deals and alliances with the other inhabitants of Dorastor, and get their aid for an expedition or need. This includes the Poisonthorn Elves, the Telmori, the Hellwood Krjalki (but not at the same time as the Poisonthorns), and all Dorastor's varied super-monsters. He can also control Slimestone, the giant gorp, for periods of time.
