Seekers of Ruin

Starvation causes these beasts to consume their masters. 

Seekers of Ruin are vile beasts born from a mutation of a Nuckelavee who has either purposely or through circumstance been consumed by the mount that they ride.

A creation of a Seeker of Ruin begins with the consumption of a starved Nuckelavee by its mount, a monstrous creature already steeped in the foul energies of Ruin. Through a blasphemous union of flesh and essence, the consumed creature continues to meld with its mount until little remains outside of a gasping head and a pair of arms flailing above, terminating in vicous scything claws. Its twisted form is contorted by the dark magic that permeates this foul demon.

Once its metamorphosis is complete, the newly-formed Seeker of Ruin is little more than a beast, its malevolent presence heralding doom and despair wherever it treads. With its insatiable hunger and ravenous thirst for mortal flesh, it stalks the land like a specter of destruction, spreading corruption and decay in its wake.

A Seeker of Ruin is a repulsive sight to behold, a grotesque fusion of fiendish essence and corrupted flesh. Its body is twisted and contorted, resembling a mass of rotting sinew and putrid flesh. At the center of this abomination, an elongated, eel-like neck extends outward, ending with a gaping maw lined with rows of jagged teeth dripping with acidic saliva. Its eyes, if they can be called such, are small and sunken, glowing with a sickly yellow hue that betrays its malevolent nature.

Upon the Seeker's back is a smaller, equally grotesque creature, the head of a vile Child of Ruin. This foul companion gasps and writhes with unnatural life, its slimy skin glistening with a sickly sheen. From its mouth drips a viscous ichor, the foul saliva of gluttony and excess.

Despite its appearance, the Seeker of Ruin moves with an eerie grace, its movements fluid and sinuous. It canters through the shadows with a predatory intent, its eel-like head darting forward to strike at unsuspecting prey with deadly precision.
