The Wound-Faced Mutterer is a creation of Vengosa, they form whenever a Wyrmish spawning pit has been tainted by a substance produced by some of Vengosa's Wyrms. The anatomy varies across each individual, though all have what appears to be a bleeding hole for a face. The "blood" is in actuality a reddish Ichor-derived substance which attracts other Wyrms, this often leads to their death as nearly every Wyrm species will kill a Mutterer on sight. When refined, this substance becomes a Wyrm repellant — many know it by the name of Wyrm's Bane. They are incredibly frail and only live for a few months. These Wyrms are slain on sight not only by other Wyrms, but Wyrmkillers as well, this is to ensure spawning pools remain healthy. Because of their unusual nature, they cannot be fully wiped out, even if all were to be slain and the tainted pools were somehow purified, the colloquially named "Blightwyrms" will ensure that more will be created. Vengosa's motivation in creating these creatures is not known, if there was one at all.
Made in 2023
The Mutterer was created after I started thinking about the possibility of a Wyrm's spawning pit being tainted, I eventually decided that this would be the result.
