Maggotkin of Nurgle – Feculent Gnarlmaw
- 7 5+ - Of all the strains of foliage and fungus that populate the copses of Nurgle’s Garden, the Feculent Gnarlmaws are the most eager to burst into the Mortal Realms and spread their corruption. These daemon-trees are truly repulsive to behold. Crooked branches emerge from them like a patchwork of arthritic limbs, and their suppurating bark splits open into gnashing jaws that can swallow incautious warriors whole. The most sinister aspect of the Gnarlmaws, however, is also the least visible. Their distended roots burrow into the earth to anchor the entity to reality, sucking in natural magics and pumping out filth in turn. The manifestation of a Feculent Gnarlmaw can taint a land for years, turning it into a reflection-in-miniature of Nurgle’s Garden.
Feculent Gnarlmaws emerge wherever Nurgle’s Maggotkin march in force, enticed by the vile scent of their souls. The noxious scents they emit and the clangour of the bells that hang from their limbs can cheer even the most despondent of Plaguebearers. Enemies are not so bolstered; inhaling even a single spore from a Gnarlmaw can compel an atrocious death as new forms of infernal foliage bloom inside their bodies and devour them from within. | ||
