Dalmosh

Dalmosh, known as the Hunger, is a powerful malevolent entity.
== History ==
Little is known about the origins of Dalmosh, but he appears to exist as some extension of the Lord of the Wastes. He is mentioned in sand elf legends primarily as figure of prophecy whose summoning - together with the summoning of Nalfesh the Thirst - would herald the advent of the apocalypse. In some stories sand elf chieftains or waste preachers performed terrible cannabilistic rituals to summon him, after which Dalmosh would immediately devour those who had summoned him and then continue on to find more nearby victims, to try in vain to sate his endless hunger. 
== Description ==
Dalmosh is ancient, immense and powerful. The material form he takes bears a crude resemblance to a humanoid. His skin appears grey and lifeless, but constantly moves and stretches in unpleasant ways, sometimes bursting open into new toothy maws or collapsing inward to again digest itself. Dalmosh is capable of speech, however seems to experience nothing but eternal hunger.
== In the Campaign ==
Shortly after destroying the phylactery of Ahiravan, Vantis, Lannus and Rexxar learned that agents of the Lords of Dust were planning to summon the Dalmosh and unleash the mighty entity upon Ramandu's Rock. Lannus used a divination spell to ask the stars where and when the summoning of Dalmosh would be, and received the following response:
"All this night the feast will rage, and for some hours beyond. In a hidden cave in the mountains north - you have but not so long."
They then travelled into the mountains north of Ramandu's Rock and eventually found a cave where Aksaj of the Jackal Clan and some of his warriors were just finishing feasting on the bodies of some sand elves. Dalmosh appeared, collapsing the entire mountain that the cave was part of although the heroes managed to save some of the elves from the collapse. Dalmosh - furious at what he perceived as an attempt to deny him his victims - then attacked but was defeated by the three heroes who later decided to execute the unconscious elves anyway for participating in the cannibalistic summoning ritual.
