Flowfiend

Flowfiends are evil prowlers of the phlogiston, or the Flow, in the Astral Sea that are created from travellers that fall into the Flow.    While most travellers that fall into the Flow simply calcify, some evil-aligned creatures are instead "rescued" by a shadow evil presence of great power, breaking the calcification binding them and turning them into flowfiend. These flowfiends are also capable of transforming other, non-evil fallen travelers into flowfiends, infecting them with the same evil spirit that captured them. This evil spirit is referred to by flowfiends as the "Great Father," but has never been seen and flowfiends are so aggressive as to make it impossible to interogate them about the spirit's identity.

Basic Information

Biological Traits

While flowfiends generally look similar to their pretransformation state, they are often 1/4 to 1/3 taller than their original height and their skin takes on a sickly yellow hue.
They also become immune to the effects of the Flow, able to swim through it with ease in hunting packs. This same immunity also prevents flowfiends from being affected by magical forms of paralysis.

Behaviour

A flowfiend forgets everything about its life prior to transormation. Instead, their every action is dedicated to the Great Father, who they please by capturing sacrifices to turn into more flowfiends.
