About: Verminlord   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.webdatacommons.org associated with source dataset(s)

A Verminlord is the supreme manifestation of the Skavens' sole daemonic deity, the Horned Rat. These daemons are by far the strongest and most fearsome the Under-Empire has ever known. The Verminlords are thought to be the daemonic forms of ancient Lords of Decay, warped by the influence of the Horned Rat into his immortal servants. A Verminlord is at once majestic and disgusting, a living icon of ruin, the ultimate scavenger. Although such a being towers in height, it is lithe and quick, its movements evoking the fluid, yet twitchy, scuttling of rats.[1a]

  • A Verminlord is the supreme manifestation of the Skavens' sole daemonic deity, the Horned Rat. These daemons are by far the strongest and most fearsome the Under-Empire has ever known. The Verminlords are thought to be the daemonic forms of ancient Lords of Decay, warped by the influence of the Horned Rat into his immortal servants. A Verminlord is at once majestic and disgusting, a living icon of ruin, the ultimate scavenger. Although such a being towers in height, it is lithe and quick, its movements evoking the fluid, yet twitchy, scuttling of rats.[1a] Their heads are bedecked with the spiralling horns and sloughing flesh of the Horned Rat himself. Warpstone amulets and tomes decorate the Verminlord's leprous form, along with chunks of raw warpstone hammered into their flesh. Verminlords are often seen armed with huge, wicked-looking glaives that are fully twice the height of a man but their chisel-teeth and sharp claws are easily capable of tearing a creature to pieces. Any onlooker finds that he cannot look away from the nightmarish creature, yet at the same time fervently hopes not to make eye contact. And this is wise, for even the passing attention of such an ancient and wicked being is enough to stop a man's, heart. Few dare to meet a Verminlord's all-seeing gaze for even an instant and none can hold it.[1a] A Verminlord is eternally calculating a myriad of interweaving plots, ever seeking the best path towards some desired end. The creature is never still, constantly pacing, stopping to tilt its head as if sniffing for the future. When the time for action comes, however, the Verminlord manifests all the feral savagery of the Skaven race. Its rage is terrifying to behold and few mortals can stand against it. The sinuous body contains the might and strength to challenge a Greater Daemon, and lesser creatures are swept aside in droves. At need a Verminlord can summon a powerful and wicked glaive, which it swings in deadly and unstoppable arcs.[1a]
