Adversaries Designed by InfernoRM

Adversary overview

A long thin tailed monster with sharp teeth and massive bug like wings and a endless brood of all kinds of horrors and monsters.

A horrifying creature to behold. The Broodmother of monsters has a long body with bug-like wings, her tail is covered in spines that ooze greenish puss. She chitters around her hive with 12 long spike like legs and has a toothy maw sporting rows of razer sharp teeth. She prefers to live undisturbed in the dark depths of the world, growing her brood into the millions, filling the world with all kinds of monsters and disturbing creatures, but make no mistake, she will protect her hive fiercely if it were attacked.
