Description Scimitor: fusion between human and mantis. Swift and intelligent, these insectile ghouls make skillful assassins and are frequently trained in the martial arts. They are able to blend with their surroundings, scale walls with ease and are powerful leapers. They crave bone more than flesh.

Hork: like Gromory, Hork are commonplace and unremarkable creatures most suitable for menial labor. Their intellect is fairly sharp, but their lack of emotion or imagination gives the impression of a mindless, mechanical slave. They do seem to take pleasure in frightening small birds, however.

Oolg: creations of an ancient cult, it is believed that these creatures were the end product of a complex funerary ritual. Some survive to this day, wandering the labyrinthine tombs of their masters and babbling endlessly in a forgotten language. Modern reproductions pale in comparison to these powerful relics, but make terrifying adversaries regardless. By unknown means they are able to repel light and surround their prey in a cloud of pitch darkness.

Veezil: another very common design, Veezil are more fragile than most other monsters but are light on their feet and covered in razor-sharp, mildly venomous thorns. Their sting is not unlike that of a thistle. Though flightless, they like high places and often perch in the branches of trees.

Blightshade: this festering, floating zombie spews infectious spores from its antlers, which grow a tumorous blight over organic and inorganic matter with equally alarming speed.

Grinmangle: this predator moves only when neccessary, anchoring itself with its tentacles and waiting patiently for food to come within reach. It feeds through its central tongue, which operates like a spider's fang. Left in place long enough, it will camoflage itself in a heap of bones and other refuse, luring unsuspecting ghouls to their demise.

You know, i think a cult is the ONLY place Oolg could come from, you know? Anyway, this is all very cool and such. Blightshade is also one that sticks out in my mind, and probably won't leave until i feed it.. hhhmm.. this could be a problem...

I originally set out to only give him a better-looking beak, but wound up totally redoing him. The bigger head was kinda unintentional, but I like him better myself now that he has a "baby bird" thing going.

As I have said before Hork is definitely my favourite Necromon of all time, if I were to bring you fresh parts could you stitch one together for me?

I agree with Daimera-these are possibly the best necromon yet, in my opinion. Though I still favorite the Fevile, Gastrula, and Vamprey, I am in love with the Grinmangle. The Skull adds all the difference to it, it rather resembles what I can remember of the.. I can't spell it, am too lazy to look it up, so will just refer to it as the 'T-rex'. The Oolg also captures my intrest, as I like to imagine just what sort of cult could have created it, and for what purposes.. hmmm.. (:

Was it now? In truth, I've never seen it. Merely read that line out loud and couldn't quite help myself. ^^ I should see that some day though! Sounds... sophisticated.
By the way, I like your avatar or whatever.

Well, it's the best movie ever to be about men transforming into giant, talking crabs that absorb the memories of people they devour.
