Mawgoyle

The ground rippled and split as a dense cloud of winged monstrosities burst into the sky. Nearby Underan watched as the swarm rose quickly before descending into the hunting parties below. The Underan were no stranger to close quarters combat, even excelled at it, but even as these creatures were cleaved in two they continued their assaults. One by one the mighty warriors were overcome and slain alongside their steeds. The creatures did not stop to devour or dispose of the bodies, instead they continued outwards towards the massive camps. Morbus’niln, an Underan chief observed the mass approaching and whispered across the torn landscape to her counterparts of the other clans. With an almighty roar, the shamans of the Underan, scattered throughout the tunnels and camps nearby called upon their magic, and the diamond sands leapt up spinning with such ferocity that any creature that dared enter the whirling vortex was stripped apart by the shards. The magic would not hold long and Morbus’niln called for all those nearby to seek shelter below in the tunnels and caverns. Little did she know of what awaited them below. Mawgoyles are malformed flying creatures that like the other Imperfect Host come in many shapes and sizes. Using their speed and ability to fly as an advantage they can quickly traverse the battlefield, unhindered by rugged terrain. Mawgoyles have also been known to spew Host bile which is not to be confused with a bodily fluid but is a concoction of Host cells and smaller creatures that accumulate within the forms of other Host. These creatures can bite, sting and burrow into flesh causing more damage and more cells to activate. The look on the face of a soldier who has a creature pull itself from an open wound only to slay them is not something you can ever forget.
