The Spawn of Corruption is a mediam to large sized black creature remenecent of the Lovecraftian Nyarlathotep or the Shoggoths. They are amorphous blobs, made of protoplasmic slime with multiple faclike shapes (not all human) bubbling to the surface and use their amorphous bodies to make whatever limbs they require for a given task. They have the ability to spawn as many as 10 appendages each with talons harder and sharper than honed Stygian steel.

Bio

If it moves, it’s a target. Make it suffer!


NOTES:

They prefer to stage hit-and-run attacks with their iron-hard talons and then darting away before their prey can react. They are drawn especially to wounded or suffering wraiths, and scholars theorize that they feed on the suffering they inflict on their victims. Fortunately for the Restless, the shroudrippers cannot reach the Shadowlands without the winds of the Maelstroms to sustain them, and their attacks subside along with the storms.


NOTES:

Claws (agg damage claw attacks)

“Lightning Ride.” This acid burns the skin and eyes, leaving its victims even more vulnerable to attack. Wraiths caught in this cloud of acid suffer a 2-dice penalty to all soak rolls unless a successful Stamina roll is made (difficulty 8).

HISTORY:

They strike from the depths of the Tempest, emitting wailing shrieks as they approach maximum speed (120 mph), raking their talons across their prey as they fly past, then altering course and darting back into the storm.
In addition to their claws, shroudrippers also spray their victims with clouds of glowing acid as they fly past — something Stygia’s Legionnaires refer to as the dreaded “Lightning Ride.”//
