Part 4 · Monsters & Creatures
Camouflaged Horror
*As the attack went on, larger and even fiercer creatures poured out of the growing breach. The city of Bel’Veth was destroyed; yet, as fate’s cruelty would have it, its name would endure.*During the fall of the city of Bel’Veth, this Voidborn stood out for its size and physical strength. The Camouflaged Horror doesn’t rely on special abilities or unique adaptations to eliminate threats, but rather on its extraordinary physical prowess. Brute force is the Camouflaged Horror’s primary weapon, but that doesn’t mean it’s its only tool.
As the name suggests, the Camouflaged Horror is a creature with unusual stealth abilities, even able to turn invisible if it absorbs enough mass to reach such an evolution.
