Ghomet

Ghomet is a rogue beast that is the master of all sewer monsters. He resides deep below New Crunk City in an underground lake deemed Ghomet's Domain. From here he creates and commands all sewer monsters that have been encroaching on disputed territories in District 11. Ghomet is currently in violation of the Treaty of the Old Capital, an agreement between Ghomet and the Gondoliers Guild that defines clear borders between the humans of District 11 and the sewer monsters.

Ghomet often appears as a large saltwater crocodile, although his form can vary to a number of distinct species and monsters. With the disappearance of the strongest gondolier, Francis Drake, the new guildmaster has had to contend with his constant horde of sewer monsters.

## Origin

Ghomet's true origins are unknown, as before first contact he could have been dormant in his domain for millennia. Having a similar guardian deity present in the Great Lake of Crunk, the Professor is certain that Ghomet was the coalescence of energy present in Ghomet's Domain. However, it's unknown how a relatively average underground lake could produce the king of sewer monsters.

After the District 11 Act and the subsequent severance from the surface, a new rush of citizens looking to explore the Old Sewers for lost artifacts grew. Many wanted to settle new land to start a new life, but soon many of the citizens went too deep despite the Gondoliers Guild's guidance. Ghomet's Domain would be discovered by remote sewer people a few decades after the District 11 Act. Ghomet awoke from a deep hibernation and became aware of a vast network of tunnels above his domain. Being in shock and in disgust of the imperfect realm above him, Ghomet and the newly discovered population of sewer monsters would take over most of the Old Sewers. Not long after, the impending sewer monster threat began to threaten the existence of District 11.

## The First Sewer War

The unprepared Gondoliers Guild would defend the front lines against the sewer monsters during a time known as the Great Sewer War (now known as the First Sewer War). Sewer Monsters and Ghomet's influence was almost too much for the guild to bear, and even the capital building of District 11 was attacked. However, the new guildmaster Harold Drake descended upon the attack and lead the first major battle won for District 11. Ghomet made his largest mistake at this time, when he allowed Harold Drake to goad him out of his domain and subsequently be defeated.

In defeat, Ghomet agreed to the Treaty of the Old Capital, which defined sewer monster territory and District 11.

## The Second Sewer War

Presently, Ghomet has begun to act far more violent and aggressive in recent times. This behavior is reflected in sewer monsters, as attacks in District 11 territory have been on the rise. It is the start of the Second Sewer War, and currently a large majority of previously District 11 territory has now become a lawless wasteland. Attempts to confront Ghomet have failed. Ghomet's behavioral changes are likely due to an increase in Ooze waste product from the surface and District 11. This problem has been pervasive throughout the sewers, but it appears to have corrupted Ghomet and the sewer monsters.

## Powers and Abilities

Ghomet possesses control over 3 Elements, Water, Dirt, and as of recently, Ooze. Previously, Water and Dirt were his two Elements, and Ghomet had the unique capability to create sewer monsters. These beasts have become a race in their own, with a variety of features across each instance and possessing a range of strengths dependent on their morphological features. This is Ghomet's main power, and with it comes the ability to control them as well, although most often sewer monsters are left autonomous. Today, the addition of Ooze has created a new horrible breed of sewer monsters that are stronger than regular sewer monsters.

Ghomet is more powerful within his domain. This is due to it being the source of his power, and essentially his whole being. While in his domain, Ghomet benefits from increased strength, increased healing, and the power to create stronger sewer monsters. For this reason, Ghomet rarely leaves his domain for the frontlines, as it would make him more vulnerable. In the case of Harold Drake, Ghomet was defeated solely because he left his domain. In response, Ghomet has devised a new special move that allows him to create a false temporary domain by devouring sewer monsters as fuel. By devouring some sewer monsters, Ghomet can channel their energy and emit a domain similar to Ghomet's Domain. For a short period, Ghomet can fight in his empowered form.
