Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mesh Hong" data-source="post: 5326462" data-attributes="member: 73463">Here’s a little something I have just thought of: Vortex HorrorA Vortex Horror is a 12ft tall vaguely humanoid creature composed of thick twisting trunks of white sinew and muscle wreathed in pulsing strands of crackling black lightning. The headless creature’s most notable feature is the hole in the centre of its wide torso that contains a swirling vortex of dark energy that twists away into infinity as if it is connected to another plane in a way that is disturbing for the mortal mind to view. Vortex Horrors are thankfully rare in the middle world, most arrive either through the vile summonings of aberrant cults or, if rumours are to be believed, by errors in the maintenance or operation of teleportation circles or rituals.  Vortex Horror Level 16 Elite Controller Large Aberrant Humanoid XP 2,800  Initiative +15 Senses Perception +9, darkvision HP 310;
