Nox’zh’r Abomination

Immortal Freedom RPG > Non-player Entities (NPCs) > Nox’zh’r

Nox’zh’r abominations are amalgamations of Nox’zh’r lluw, and the flesh, metal, and bone of a humanoid creature. They are eldritch horrors without feeling or thought, completely subservient to the will of the Nox’zh’r. Once an individual transforms into a Nox’zh’r abomination, they cannot be cleansed of their Nox’zh’r infection, as all that would be left behind is a husk of their former selves.

Nox’zh’r abominations always attack the nearest target. They fight until their destruction, being totally unconcerned with their own existence or well-being.
