Description
One of the Nameless creatures of Middle Earth. Content took some liberties with lore after Gandalf described "nameless beings that gnawed the earth" which were apparently so old even Sauron didn't know of them, yatta yatta. It was a nice excuse to do some crazy, abstract stuff for a change, so I did not complain.Yes, he has a vortex in his chest.

Welcome to the void,
meet the mouth of the abyss.

That one is a world eater I believe. The world-eater's tend to be lighter in colour. That's...the only way to differentiate between World-eaters and Void-eaters.

Huh. Β So was the "world-eaters" reference by Gandalf the inspiration for those huge worms in the last Hobbit film?

No I believe that would be the wereworms mentioned by Bilbo.

So are these pictured world eaters or void eaters? (since they look more akin to the latter; while the former is somewhat related to morgoth and don't look/sound like 'void eaters')

Y'know, when I read that passage, I kinda had the thought that Nothing Is Scarier , that the Nameless Things were better off not being known. But this makes me think otherwise!

I think I remember reading somewhere that the Nameless were actually inspired by Lovecraft when JRR Tolkein read his stuff. This fits that perfectly.

Now this is a little beauty. I love it! Such a Lovecraftian-style monstrosity! X3

I can imagine it...
A lone traveler, carefully treading in an old temple
He hears a clicking sound and turns... to see... a light
The light looks as if it just fell from the heavens
The the sudden realization hits him like a hammer to the chest
But it's too late, as it suddenly swallows him whole, pulling him into it's gaping maw...
And on a completely different note, the detail in it's plate armor and the exposed sinews never disappoint
Outstanding...

It just wants a hug. Anyone want to hug a walking, sentient black hole?

VERY well done. Almost seems more like something out of Lovecraft than Tolkien.

I love the idea that its vortex mouth is what it uses to "gnaw the earth". Great design

NAMELESS sound like you fall into death!!

The vortex definitely emphasizes the whole "Not of the Earth" feeling Gandalf implies these things have.

I used a very small cutout of this image for a strategy graphic I made for a Sixteenth Hall guide I wrote many moons ago:

I found it in a Google image search. In the graphic, this guy represents the Lost One, the last boss in the Sixteenth Hall instance in Moria.

i thought this was a pretty cool thing, until I noticed he has a mother fucking VORTEX in his chest

Does it like "eat" you into another dimension? O_O Really great combination of a simple monstrosity, and some really really hardcore fantasy magic!

Ohhh... I remember that guy...
When I went with my kin to the Dark Delvings, this was the guy who threw me off a gigantic a rock and smashed my head... he wasn't so nice.
Ah well, great job anyways.
