Digesters of Ruin

Starvation causes these masters to consume their beasts. 

The creation of a Digester of Ruin is a twisted process instigated largely by the ruling class of the forces of Ruin. It begins with a Nuckelavee of Ruin, a vile fiend already tainted by the essence of ruin and gluttony. Over time, the Nuckelavee of Ruin is starved and indulges in its insatiable hunger by consuming the mount to which it has been fused, and it undergoes a horrific transformation.

As the Nuckelavee of Ruin continues to gorge itself on the flesh of its mount, its body begins to warp and contort, mutating into a grotesque amalgamation of sinew and flesh. Its limbs elongate and twist into unnatural shapes, its skin becomes pallid and bloated, and the ragged stump that remains of its mount’s head widens into a gaping maw lined with rows of jagged teeth. The acidic saliva that once dripped from its jaws now flows freely, burning and corroding everything it touches.

As it consumes its own body, it absorbs the tainted essence of ruin and decay, merging with the very corruption that spawned it. The result is a monstrous abomination known as a Digester of Ruin, a fiendish beast driven by an insatiable hunger for flesh and a relentless desire to consume anything it happens upon.

Once transformed into a Digester of Ruin, the creature becomes a harbinger of rot and corruption, its very presence a blight upon the land. It stalks the mortal realm with an unquenchable hunger, consuming all in its path and leaving naught but desolation and decay in its wake. Those unfortunate enough to encounter a Digester of Ruin would do well to flee, for it is a relentless predator, driven by an insatiable appetite for destruction and death.

Its body is a mass of writhing flesh, oozing with acidic slime and festering sores. Multiple limbs extend from its bloated torso, terminating in clawed appendages that drip with corrosive fluid. Its jagged maw, lined with rows of razor-sharp teeth, constantly oozes acidic saliva, emitting a sickening stench of decay.

As it moves, the Digester of Ruin emits guttural, gurgling noises, accompanied by the sound of painful gasps and bones cracking. Its movements are unnervingly agile, despite its grotesque appearance, and it prowls with a predatory grace, its eyes gleaming with malice. Strands of slimy tendrils writhe around its body, twitching eagerly as it searches for prey to ensnare and consume.
