Megalysk

The massive bulk pulled itself from the darkness, its features illuminated only by a thin stream of light from a crack in the cave roof. It seemed to ignore the hunters as it dragged its massive limbs, armored in bone like structures that clung to its flesh, through the dust towards the chasm. Morbus’niln recognized the head that made up the giants back from her hunts but the fire was gone from its lifeless eyes as its form pulsed and moved as if it were still breathing. The creature crouched over the chasm, lighting up the void with luminescent orbs that lined a structure that could have been its face. Its gullet quivered and expanded as it lurched forward sending a ball of slimy sputum hurtling down. Morbus’niln watched the sack fall, only a short distance, before it hit something. There, in the dark piled high onto the rocks, were the corpses of Drakkaran, Dirmir, Confederation and all manner of other creatures that had been recently slain. As the sack of phlegm settled it burst and all manner of tiny creatures swarmed into the mound, the infected corpses twitching and jerking as the organisms already within reacted to the intrusion. Slowly as flesh seemed to melt and the pile liquefied a skin formed over corpses. Within the boil the creatures fought and assimilated each other, gaining limbs, claws, teeth and tools for survival. Eventually this boil would tear, the creatures inside free from the conflict within, free to seek conflict outside in the open air where more prey waited. Megalysks are creatures that have managed to thrive amidst the chaos of the Host Mass, becoming large and deadly. Like many other large Host they can ferry other Host creatures within them, sending them hurtling forth to infect other living prey. Megalysks size also allows it to create ultra sonic shock-waves from its maw, bursting organs and fracturing armor. Up close its weight becomes its deadliest weapon as it pulverizes its targets into the ground with its massive for-limbs.
