Slaves to Darkness – Slaughterbrute
10" 14 4+ 5 Slaughterbrutes are creatures born of pure rage. Their crimson flesh strains with corded muscle and sinew, convulsing with pangs of directionless fury. Though they regularly shovel prey into their monstrously oversized maws, feeding does little for them; the venting of fury alone sustains these beasts. Slaughterbrutes roam where the greatest massacres have occurred or else amongst the most inhospitable mountain passes. It is to here that a champion of Chaos must travel if they wish to bind such a creature to their will – but such is a Slaughterbrute’s choler that it will fight to the death before accepting even the most determined master. Other means must be used to secure their bestial allegiance.
A champion looking to claim a Slaughterbrute as a prize will bid their sorcerers or god-speakers craft blades inscribed with runes of command. Once such a weapon has been driven into a Slaughterbrute’s back – a task easier said than done, given the creature’s many limbs and boundless frenzy – it can be controlled by the champion who embedded the blade. Yet should it come loose, or should the Slaughterbrute’s master die, then the beast will soon take its vengeance on all who sought to collar it. | ||
