Aberration

## **The Aberration**

Entity which came to be known simply as “The Aberration” is an extra-dimensional construct best described as a sentient bioweapon. It’s true form, shape and size in unknown, as it exists in 4 dimensions, making it effectively incomprehensible for 3-dimensional inhabitants of the Greavesoyl universe. Only someone who is also multidimensional (like The Guide) or who has understood the true nature of The Void (like Seenerl or Warper) can perceive it fully. Anyone else will only see an amorphous blob of smoke, plasma and appendages, with the body parts of it’s previous victims it likes to hold standing out. The most clearly defined part of Aberration’s actual body is it’s skull-like head marked by the sigil of Nyarlathotep. The creature’s powers revolve around matter and soul manipulation, but despite being able to see all around itself at once, due to it’s completely alien way of thinking and being basically a throwaway creation, The Aberration cannot focus on more than one object at once.

Despite it’s monstrous appearance, seemingly irrational behavior and not being able (or simply refusing) to communicate, Aberration is sentient and somewhat intelligent. The creature was hastily created by Nyarlathotep with the sole purpose to dispose of Koh’aim-umm and afterwards, it was left without any further directives, and began to wander the world aimlessly. If any other creature tried to attack it, Aberration instantly retaliated and, in most cases, kept a piece of it’s victim as a trophy.

## **Story**

Under the pulsating primordial chaos which dreamed all around itself into existence, a thing of thousand faces cried in fury as the gap between dreams shrank smaller and smaller. He grabbed what little of the other dream essence he could pinch and gave it mind, before throwing it back through the endless dust between the dream of the scared and into the dream of the cruel.

What came before the terrified plasmic golemancer was a thing of abhorrent visage, tainting and wronging the very essence of the world around itself by simply existing in a world it did not belong to. The creature born of two worlds and which belonged to neither, made in haste and sent on the one-way journey with one order implanted into it’s consciousness – “make him suffer”. It took less than a few minutes to fulfil it’s purpose. Then, it was left to wander the universe it’s creator was denied to visit.

It drifted through the lands and the valleys. Over the sand and under the waters. It terrified some. Charmed others. As a creature of not this world, in the literal sense, it got people swarming all around it. Some times it would just go. Some times it would dissolve everyone around. Naturally, some tried to kill it, cage it, bind it to their will. All failed, all but one. A man who lived in a spire surrounded by waters. He found a way to lure it to his laboratory, by one distraction at a time. In the end, the man has died before uncovering any of it’s secrets, but it remained in the spire, finding strange comfort in the damp and darkness.

It remained there for centuries, with it’s terror turning into stories, and the stories into legends. After enough time passed, even the legends were forgotten. All people of the area shunned the spire. Only a few knew why.

But then, without any warning, it got it’s second order. A directive. A target.

“*Find the witness*.”
