Adversary overview

An ancient and cunning chimera from the Void.

The ancient animal demon is a seething and writhing mass of disconnected animal parts turned into a horrifying whole. It constantly changes shape, growing eyes, mouths, limbs and claws as needed. Behind this horrifying exterior, however, lurks a terrifying and alien intellect.
