  • Mordiggian Avatar Solitary, Huge, Magical, Divine, Planar, Terrifying, Amorphous
    Life Drain (w[2d12+5] damage) 29 HP 5 armor
    Reach, Ignores Armor, Near, Far
    Special Qualities: Various Forms

    Mordiggian, also known as The Charnel God, is a Great Old One associated with ghouls, necromancers and death created by Clark Ashton Smith for his Zothique stories, where he debuted in the story "The Charnel God" as the primary god of the city-state of Zul-Bha-Sair, attended to by a mortuary-cult of ghouls dressed in long, hooded robes of purple paired with silver skull masks. Although capable of ferocious acts of wrath when roused to anger, he is generally a peaceful, amiable god who genuinely respects his faithful worshippers and who merely asks to be fed with the bodies of the dead. This makes him a true minority amongst the deities of the Cthulhu Mythos. He has appeared in Chaosium's Call of Cthulhu Malleus Monstrorum. Creature, Gods, and Forbidden Knowledge, and in Pathfinder. This name is used in Zothique, Man's last continent, and it is entirely possible that this gigantic creature is the same as Shaurash-Ho, although the name might go back to medieval France, and be a corruption of the Latin "Mortician" (to do with the dead). May be identical to Cynothoglys. He would seem to be the main subject of The Ghoul's Manuscript and Culte des Goules. Described variously as swirling darkness, a gigantic shadow, a worm shaped column. Instinct: Render to Dust

    • Consumes Corpses
    • Cthulhu Mythos Great Old One
    • Patron of the city-state of Zul-Bha-Sair

    Close, Reach, Near
    Special Qualities: Tendril reach

    The Vitox are small plant-like humanoids with roots for feet and multiple vines for arms. Found it jungles and amongst other dense vegetation, they travel in small groups foraging for nutrients to feed itself and it’s colony. You can tell the age of a Vitox by the number of ‘arms’ it possesses. Be careful around these seemingly harmless creatures, for they can quickly ensnare creatures much larger than themselves and steal their provisions. If threatened, they will use their rapid growing vines like a whip to keep any threat at bay, resorting to its poison touch if all else fails. Somewhat like a bee in this regard, using poison will sap the Vitox of it’s own vital fluids. Instinct: To steal

    • Forage for Provisions
