Nox’zh’r Wretch

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

Nox’zh’r wretches are sentient masses of Nox’zh’r lluw—pitch-black, viscous fluid come to life. They are eldritch horrors without feeling or thought, completely subservient to the will of the Nox’zh’r. Amorphous and horrific, they creep and ooze their way to their prey, hungering to assimilate whatever life they can envelop.

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