Alluvium Silt Guard

Now a slime in the shape of a human an alluvium looks like it should fall apart at any moment. Beneath translucent skin a few connecting strands of grey muscle amid sea glass colored bones flex and twitch whenever the thing moves. Bloodshot eyes are held in place by piercing bone spurs with a thin film of ooze over them to keep from drying out. Intestines writhe below the organs like an agitated jellyfish. The rest of the semi-solid gel where meat once was resembles murky water. Patches of cilia sprout from the surface on the creature’s shoulders and sides, drinking in strange sensory data. The silt guard wears a burnished breastplate under a slick, leather greatcoat. While it wears armored boots and gloves the alluvium’s midsection is bare, displaying its gruesome core. It wears a helmet that includes a stylized half-mask with overly-exaggerated cheeks nose. In battle, a silt guard uses a pike of black iron and acid scorched wood. The creature can spit acid on command and under d

Weeping Conscript

Sobbing visages ripple across the surface of this looming abomination. Comprised of congealed, putrefied meat and bound by psychic turmoil the weeping conscripts continuously seeks to vent its anger on any living thing it encounters. If it wasn’t dominated by the alluvium colony’s Eldritch Coagulant the towering ooze rampage would only end with its death. While its malleable form can assume any shape the weeping conscript’s natural silhouette is reminiscent of a shuffling body underneath a full-length funeral shroud. It is the color of spoiled meat and gives off the foul stench of a water-logged grave. The ooze consumes its prey by enveloping it with face-ridden tendrils which eat it alive from many angles at once. Shattered Minds . One could easily debate is a weeping conscript is sentient or not. The gestalt does display a degree of intelligence above most animals, but it is one driven by a passionate hatred for all other living things. Nor does the ooze display a personality,

Alluvium Mire Marine

Now a slime in the shape of a human an alluvium looks like it should fall apart at any moment. Beneath translucent skin a few connecting strands of grey muscle amid sea glass colored bones flex and twitch whenever the thing moves. Bloodshot eyes are held in place by piercing bone spurs with a thin film of ooze over them to keep from drying out. Intestines writhe below the organs like an agitated jellyfish. The rest of the semi-solid gel where meat once was resembles murky water. Patches of cilia sprout from the surface on the creature’s shoulders and sides, drinking in strange sensory data. Less human and more ooze the mire marine’s arms have devolved into cilia-lined pseudopod clusters. These flexible appendages wrap around the barbed spears they carry but are flexible enough to strike out on their own without relinquishing the weapon. The half-plate the marine wears bears an oily, brown sheet, its plates alchemically treated to withstand the abomination’s caustic surface. Like a

Alluvium Slime Breaker

Now a slime in the shape of a human an alluvium looks like it should fall apart at any moment. Beneath translucent skin a few connecting strands of grey muscle amid sea glass colored bones flex and twitch whenever the thing moves. Bloodshot eyes are held in place by piercing bone spurs with a thin film of ooze over them to keep from drying out. Intestines writhe below the organs like an agitated jellyfish. The rest of the semi-solid gel where meat once was resembles murky water. Patches of cilia sprout from the surface on the creature’s shoulders and sides, drinking in strange sensory data. Shock troops for the alluvium, slime breakers make surprisingly little noise as they move despite being encased in full plate armor. The alchemically treated plates smoothly glide against one another, constantly greased by the anathema’s secretions. Some sections of the protection are replaced with plates of a sea-glass like gristle bestowed by an eldritch coagulant. The massive blade the slime

Alluvium Quagsire

Now a slime in the shape of a human an alluvium looks like it should fall apart at any moment. Beneath translucent skin, a few connecting strands of grey muscle amid sea glass-colored bones flex and twitch whenever the thing moves. Bloodshot eyes are held in place by piercing bone spurs with a thin film of ooze over them to keep them from drying out. Intestines writhe below the organs like an agitated jellyfish. The rest of the semi-solid gel where meat once was resembles murky water. Patches of cilia sprout from the surface on the creature’s shoulders and sides, drinking in strange sensory data. The only remnants of a humanoid body which remains in a quagsire is its circulatory structure, now a vibrant, crimson lattice pulsing through its gelatinous form. A forest of cilia spread across its flanks. The nubs of retractable pseudopods dot the quagsire’s abdomen. Instead of eyes knots of sea glass like gristle float within the face. The breastplate the alluvium paragon wears was absor

Alluvium Eldritch Coagulant

Covered in a thin, cracked skin reminiscent of congealed fat atop cold stew an eldritch coagulant rivals some subterranean lakes in size. This gristle resembles a vast mirror of broken sea glass. Huge pseudopods breach the surface now and again, caressing the cavern ceiling and walls and leaving acid-polished stone behind. This glass-like surface reflects the coagulant’s sickly, pulsating radiance which only intensifies whenever a sapient creature draws near. The murk beneath the ghastly surface is a gangrenous blue-green but disturbingly emits no odor. While it is unknown what language the fragment speaks those it telepathically communicates with describe its voice as warm and fatherly, as well as comprehensible. That is, of course, if the brush of minds does not drive the mortal creature mad. Deathless Debris . A scrap of an elder evil's essence an eldritch coagulant carries within it a mere sliver of the devoured cosmic horror's power. Yet, even this minuscule amount
