Description

The affliction of the Grotesques has been said to perfectly symbolize this horrid age. The ugliness of war and chaos, now given flesh. If the Arrimaki are the sickness of this world, then these horrid abominations are perhaps the deformity of it. There is no wonder why the Church and its followers are so quick to exterminate these tortured souls, unable to stomach the sight of what they are and what they stand for. Sadly, the Grotesques never had a say in what they were reborn into, and they are clearly not that happy about their twisted forms either. They say their mangled rebirth is a curse, a blight upon man, yet the people refuse to acknowledge which party is truly cursed in all this. But they see monsters and slay them, with no hesitation. Their garbled cries and soggy pleas fall upon deaf ears, as the blades are brought down upon them. So if their suffering and cries will not bring them peace, then they must turn to violence. Thus the Grotesques give into madness and anger, throwing themselves against their persecutors and executioners like rabid beasts. If humanity is truly responsible for creating the Grotesques, then they too are responsible for making them the monsters they are now.

Not all souls twisted into these Grotesques are born from humans, as it seems all walks of life are punished. Simple animals and oblivious beasts thrown into this sickening stew, and emerging as some wretched chimera of dripping flesh. No names are given to these things, no labels outside of "monstrosity" and "abomination." Even the Beast Masters are unnerved by these creatures, less from fear and more from their tortured state. They have a deeper connection with animals than they do man, and this bond shows them the pain and anguish trapped inside this failing form. Some may try to slay these creatures to bring them peace, while others seek to kill them to cease their rampage. No matter the reason, many fail. If a wounded animal is twice as fierce and deadly as any other, than imagine the power and savagery found in those who know nothing but pain, trapped in a world of cruelty.

---------------------------------------

We're pulling the strange and bizarre from all places here for the Grotesques! And once I laid my eyes upon ol' Luigi Bergomi's utterly weird creatures, they immediately felt fitting and I just had to use one. Truly some inspiring stuff!
