Murderous Cubes
Extremes are undoubtedly the word that should be associated with the Godless Lands. Tall, towering, black rocks, emptiness, and ubiquitous grotesqueness are the indispensable elements which paint the horizon of this land. A prominent example of grotesqueness is shown by the beings living in the flesh-like slurry closer to an undefined phlegm. While in other areas they tend to stay in the dark tunnels and caves, waiting for their victim to pass by, their dependence on the treacherous air of the land makes them actively be driven to places with the highest concentration. They excrete an unpleasant dark-green substance that floats on the surface of the ground, fatally slowing down passerby's, while allowing this creature to absorb them easier.
Although these creatures are not among the most pleasant beings, they are actively sought after by many alchemists. Their essence allows creations of extraordinary concoctions connected with abilities such as reproduction and transformation.
In the shadowy depths of subterranean
caverns or dank dungeons, the Murderous
Cube lurks. A gelatinous menace embodying the
essence of a voracious, living ooze.
Its transparent, pulsating form belies the peril it poses, as this
creature seamlessly blends into its environment, awaiting the
unsuspecting wanderer. Acid inside its soft body is capable of
melting even solid metal.
Transparent Body. In caves, the Murderous Cube can be
nearly invisible, which allows it to lie and wait undetected
amidst the surroundings. This camouflage grants it the element
of surprise, making it a formidable ambush predator.
Corrosive Acid. The Murderous Cube’s touch is corrosive,
capable of breaking down armor, weapons, and magical
protections. This ability not only inflicts physical harm but also
diminishes the effectiveness of the victim's equipment.
Murderous Cubes are non-aggressive and really slow, so if you
spot them in time, you can easily avoid them. But if you come
too close, you will be attacked, and if a Cube absorbs you inside
its body, it is almost impossible to get out by yourself.
