[Day 23] Thaurazz, the Infiltrators From Outside

Thaurazz, the Infiltrators From Outside

This world is ending and humanity is doomed. This seems to be agreed-upon wisdom of our age. The creatures who call themselves Thaurazz certainly seem to think so. They mingle with the aristocracy in the manor houses and courts of Schleswig, ready to move in when our doom consumes us. They are not above helping things along a little.

A Thaurazz is a semi-tranluscent creature, its nternal organs on display like a sargasso of vivid reds and blues. It has no skeleton and drags itself along on eight-digit limbs. Its mouth is a serrated, octopus-like beak.

Needless to say when the Thaurazz made their first foray into our world, they were killed by horrified humans. This time our natural inclination toward narrow-mindedness and revulsion steered us right.
When next the creatures ventured forth, they had allied themselves with an animal from theior unimaginable home, a symbiont with a gift for imitation. In its natural state this creature looks like a slow-moving lump of yellow fatty tissue. When worn by a Thaurazz and guided by its intellect it looks like a human being.

In this organic disguise the Thaurazz have entered our world, fanning our fears and misgivings atevery turn. Why they have descended on Schleswig is unclear. Perhaps the natives have a greater inclination toward paranoia, maybe it came about due to Thaurazz influence.

What the Thaurazz, perhaps naively, hope is that the doom hovering in our near future will destroy humanity, but leave the world and infrastructure intact. If Nechrubel’s priests know of the Thaurazz, it is likely they are entertained by the creatures’ audacity and folly.

Special: When it takes 4 points of damage, the disguise symbiont is sorely wounded and the Thaurazz’s true form is revealled. As a desperate attack, the Thaurazz vomits forth a noxious substance that inflicts 2d6 damage on all enemies in melee combat. This also ruins the creature’s disguise.
