Pallid Sufferer

Return to previous page.

The Pallid sufferer was created by Asmorium as a way to experiment with weaponized blood, they are relatively weak, but are incredibly intelligent. They can spray a small amount of blood from the tip of their neck, any creature which makes contact with this blood begins to experience painful convulsions. It uses its blood to incapacitate both prey and predators alike, and once its target has been disabled, it hardens the tip of its neck and skewers the victim before draining them of blood. However, this can easily be countered by wearing waterproof clothing and a mask, as the blood only works on exposed skin, the Wyrms will not attack foes that it cannot disable with its blood.

a drawing of a monster with pale, blotchy skin on a somewhat abstract looking background, the lower part of the background is a ruddy brown and the upper part is blue. The monster has no head, instead having a long, tapered neck, its body is incredibly gaunt with visible ribs. Its arms are long and bony, ending in clawless, three-fingered hands. Its upper torso is held horizontally, but bends at a right angle shortly after the ribs end. its lower torso is also rather thin and ends in a skinny tail and a pair of legs. Its legs are long and thin but not quite as bony as the arms, they end in three clawless toes.

Drawn in 2023

Notes

This Wyrm went through a few design concepts before I settled on this one, one design depicted it with wings and a mouth, while another one gave it eyes (now that I think about that one, Severspawn's head ended up really similar to it). I eventually settled with the third attempt, it mostly looked the same as the final design, though that one's spine was not at a right angle. I wanted them to be clever, so I decided they will only really attack those they can take down easily.
