Eldritch Corruption V Preview!
🕑 Added 2020-03-19 18:30:18 +0000 UTCLets continue the streak of previews for the first update cycle!
up next with Eldritch Corruption V as suggested by Charles W.!
Eldritch Hoplite: The frontline of the army strong and imposing in their own right. These soldiers wear blackened armor from the knees down, chitinous flesh armor light but strong on their chest, and tentacles form their helmets. Large red eyes can be seen from underneath the helmet and those closer can see their chins split showing a large triangle mouth to devour enemies. Their entire right arm forms into a massive spear they can stretch and retract at will. In their left hand is a spiky black shield they can use to form phalanx formations. Those unfortunate enough find even the shield has a mouth in the center to gnaw at those bashed by the shield.
Eldritch Horsemen: Nothing gives more fear then the sight of a corrupted horse in the distance. Usually large Clydesdales their manes and hair on their hooves burn a purple light while their skull shows similar to corrupted deer. Atop the horse riding it is a humanoid with tentacles instead of legs. It uses these tentacles to wrap around and under the horse securing it cannot be knocked off. Its upper body is made of chitinous flesh armor layering on top of itself to give the impression of a dark knight. They can carry a multitude of weapons but their weapon of choice is a black gnarled Warhammer. Using the momentum of the horse and mobility of their tentacles they devastate armies smashing through barriers and armored frontlines.
Eldritch Bomber: No one knows where these abominations came from but they know one thing, kill them from a far. These small humanoid creations are hunched over with long legs and arms used for running, jumping, and climbing large distances quickly. Their nails in their hands have grown long into claws used for slashing or digging into a wall for climbing. The first thing you notice before those claws however are the large purple glowing pustules that cover its entire center of mass. You cannot see any head, chest, or hips only arms, legs, and pustules. The dangerous thing is these pustules explode releasing black ichor that corrupts those it touches or healing those already corrupted. The eldritch army uses them as mortars or self-sacrificing bombs to destroy enemies while growing their own army.
Some of the most challenging entries yet! for the most part I aimed to stay loyal to the prompts, except where I decided to add some extra bits to spice them up further, for instance the bomber having hair spreading out as well for an extra touch of creepyness, or the dark horseman having a membrane flesh cape flowing behind him!
Please stay tuned for this release!
