Venom Spawn

Venom Spawn has rows of thin, scythe-like legs to pull its bloated body along. It is so vile and repulsive their very appearance causes fear in those that see it. Its rear quarters house a series of massive, bulbous sacks of acid, which the Spawn projects through a hollow tongue at its victims. So potent is this acid that is will eat through metal plates in seconds, searing into the flesh below. Their blind, hooded heads are easily recognizable on the battlefield.

Blackblood Alchemists have put a high bounty on the corpses of Venom Spawn as their acid makes for a superior ingredient for their craft. Obtaining a reasonably intact corpse however is incredibly difficult, which is the only thing that slows down the Blackbloods exploitation of this new ingredient as a weapon.

Venom Spawn is a sub-race of Stygian, more primal, hostile and ferocious than their brethren. The Venom Spawn is treated almost like a pet when they are found in a Stygian horde.
