When this creature was later discovered by the mages, an expedition went into its territory and all died, crystallized and were absorbed into its being (save the one who died after giving the report back home). His report indicated that it was terraforming the territory around it, but it was hibernating.
Essentially, it's a giant apocalypse monster that eclipses the power of everything on the planet. It's not an exaggeration to say that the entire purpose of the Mage association is to prepare for ORT's awakening and prevent human extinction.
