Yaarowslow the Many
A spreading corruption that refuses to stop — one hunger wearing a thousand mouths.
It is not one thing. A mass of flesh oozing infectious silvery slime, surrounded by a skittering, slithering, buzzing host that moves as an extension of its will — Yaarowslow the Many is what happens when a single corruption decides to keep growing.
Appearance: A shifting heap of pale, glistening flesh — no clear surface, no fixed silhouette — trailing a slick of silvery ooze that catches the light like spilled tallow. Around its edge, a constant motion of smaller shapes: beetles, eels, pale grubs, all moving with a single directed purpose. The mass itself pulses slowly, as though breathing.
