Semk godling

The Semk godling was a Tithansi warleader during the Chain of Dogs.
He was a squat and pugnacious-looking Semk, so hairy that he wore almost nothing but a hide loin cloth. His skin was covered in greasy ash and his hair hung in thick shaggy black threads. His beard was knotted with finger-bone fetishes. A brace of leather belts were cinched tightly across his stomach. His face was twisted into a permanent contemptuous sneer by the gut-stitching that sealed his mouth and nose.Deadhouse Gates, Chapter 12, US HC p.317

As Fist Coltaine led the Malaz 7th Army towards the River P'atha his forces were harried day and night by Tithansi raiders led by a brilliant new commander. He sent Nil, Lull, and Duiker with a squad of marines to assassinate the warleader so that the army could focus on preparing for their next encounter with Kamist Reloe's army of the Apocalypse.Deadhouse Gates, Chapter 12, US HC p.308-310 
The squad penetrated the camp and successfully killed a Tithansi Warleader before realizing the true threat was the bizarre unbreathing Semk man standing next to him. They soon discovered the Semk had consumed a portion of the Semk god and was now a possessed vessel of the raging Ascendant bristling with sorcerous power. All of his orifices had been sewn shut to contain the god's fragment within his stomach, which was protected by the leather bands.Deadhouse Gates, Chapter 12, US HC p.317-322/341 
The godling shrugged off the squad's attacks including multiple Sharpers thrown by a backup squad of sappers. Only the appearance of the demon Apt, who ripped the godling from the Semk's stomach, stalled him. Seventeen soldiers died by the time the soldiers withdrew.Deadhouse Gates, Chapter 12, US HC p.320-321/341 
The godling reclaimed his stolen essence and later met Coltaine's Weasel Clan at the Battle of Gelor Ridge. He was ambushed and torn apart by earth spirits while the Wickans slaughtered his men.Deadhouse Gates, Chapter 13, US HC p.361
