Godloid

Godloid was an average garloid that had lived during the War of Gods in The Sluck until it had killed a god known as Broswald the Immolator and gained his God Energy. This single event altered the garloid greatly, and it is currently believed to have been the only garloid to ever achieve godhood, placing it among the few most notable garloids such as Solomon, Prince Griplert, and The Leviathan.

Godloid is also the progenitor of the Roetunn lineage of garloids, one of the most highly sought after lineages among elites and garloid collectors alike, not only because of their Godloid ancestry and slightly spicy milk, but because they are the oldest lineage that can be traced to a single confirmed ancestor.

## Attaining Godhood

Godloid, prior to attaining godhood, was just an average freshwater garloid living in the swamp that is now known as The Sluck where, presumably, it lived it's days enjoying the humid air and swamp water. It is believed to have had reached maturity just before the War of Gods, when rather unexpectedly an army marched through its home on their way to fight a battle with the Intabi tribe, and their leader Agamemnon. They had begun setting camp in the swamp for the night, having spent the day wiping the Samal tribe off the face of the Earth.

The tribe that was now stomping around its home was the ancient Hastora tribe, a warrior tribe originating from an area now known as Zones 16 and 17. This tribe was on a conquest northward to claim more territory lead by their leader Broswald the Immolator, who had recently attained Godhood as a result of the detonation of The World Engine.

Just when our hero was beginning to get used to the presence of these invaders, an incredibly drunken Broswald yanked it out of the water and asked the men around him in a slurred manner, “Who wants to bet if I can eat this Garloid whole without chewing?” Before anyone could even reply, he raised the garloid up high, opened his mouth, and dropped the garloid down his gullet, whole. The garloid began to flail and thrash about, as one would expect, causing it to get lodged and stuck in the throat of Broswald, who equally as expected began to choke and panic.

After a few minutes of struggling, Broswald fell to the ground and died in a moment of silence for all around. A garloid of all things had felled a once great warrior. However, before anyone could appreciate the absurdity of the matter, a bright flash of light erupted from the neck of the dead god, and out burst a thrashing and flailing Godloid, growing to an immense size after absorbing Broswald’s God Energy. It used its special move, Godloid’s Gambit, (which is just growing to a large size and flailing around) to wreak havoc on the camp. The ground shook and trees fell, people were crushed under the weight of Godloid, and only after two hours of mayhem would the fight be over, with the entire camp either dead or retreating, and Godloid returning to its normal size.

## Life and Death

Godloid’s life did not change much after it attained godhood. It remained as a normal garloid, without any sentience or intelligence beyond that of an average garloid. The only difference was that it inherited some of Broswald’s Fire element and God Energy. For ages, it watched the world change around it: the sun rising and setting, the flora and fauna growing and dying, and the new Humans settling in the land, who would later be known as The Sluck ethnic group.

Many locals revered Godloid quite correctly as a deity, believing that it could cause earthquakes and floods when it was angry. They would often make pilgrimages to see it, bringing gifts to appease it. But Godloid did not feel any emotions, nor did it care for any offerings. It was just a garloid with God Energy, and it would only unleash its power when it felt threatened.

Godloid would produce only two seeds in its lifetime, creating two garloids that would be known as Roetunn and Leonostus. Neither Roetunn nor Leonostus would have any anomalous or godlike attributes to it in any way, but did produce milk that could be described as "spicy". Both garloids would be delivered to a local chieftans, where they would be very well taken care of, ultimately establishing the Roetunn lineage of garloids that remains to this day. Unfortunately, Leonostus did not produce any seeds and as such has no lineage.

Shortly after producing these two seeds, Godloid died of old age. Going out with one last great thrashing, it would finally rest at the ripe old age of 1000, making it one of the oldest garloids to have lived.
