Morch'aliach: Difference between revisions

== Nature ==

Its true form was that of a small [[worm]], but when at full power, it could grow to encompass a small pocket realm centred around its full form, a "tree" of interlocking worms with a single great [[eye]] which had four pupils. The entity was sustained by the psychic energy generated by people's traumatic memories of the deaths of others. To draw these out, it would summon the [[soul]]s of the dead and give them a ghoulish physical form as corpse-like puppets whose flesh was riddled with holes through which the worms that made up Morch'aliach circulated.
