Mugrisant (Mutation Qlippoth)

Mugrisants are manifestations of the Outer Rifts' capacity for destructive transformation. This qlippoth's cycle of never-ending transformation gives them an insatiable appetite. While a mugrisant can derive nourishment from any flesh, they need not eat to survive, and favor prey that are strong enough to put up a bit of a fight before being devoured, almost turning their bodies inside out to gulp down creatures nearly as large as they are.

Sidebar - Additional Lore Constant, Horrific Change

A mugrisant's body is always consuming itself and generating new organs. While a few of these new body parts appear in functional locations, the rest are drawn toward the mugrisant's central growth sac, a composite organ that lies within their largest maw and is used to warp the bodies of those exposed to it. A rare few who are consumed by a mugrisant don't actually die, but are instead transformed body, mind, and soul into a new qlippoth.

Qlippoth

Source Monster Core pg. 280 1.1
Long before the creatures known as demons came to be the dominant force in the Outer Rifts, qlippoth ruled the innumerable cracks of the Outer Sphere. These inimical creatures are a form of primordial and alien evil that predates mortal life, and most immortal life as well. Since the rise of mortal sin and the associated expansion of demonic life through the Outer Rifts, qlippoth have been driven to their deepest reaches, and they seethe with rancor at the loss of their realms. Yet, rather than directly oppose demons, qlippoth instead turn to the source—mortal sin—and wage an endless war to eradicate all creatures capable of sinful acts so that the demonic tide might be turned back. To ensure they do not bolster their foe's ranks, they enact horrific transformations on their targets, converting their victims into beings incapable of discerning right from wrong; this renders them unable to be judged by Pharasma's courts and thus incapable of becoming fiends. Most mortals consider the ministrations of a qlippoth to be far worse than any fate awaiting them in the afterlife.

Qlippoth ruled the Outer Rifts for eons and still see themselves as its rightful rulers. When the Outer Rifts first began to spawn demons from the souls of sinful humanoids, it plunged the realms into a brutal war spanning untold millennia. Though more powerful and established, the qlippoth were slowly but surely driven back by the endless demonic hordes, who spawned far more quickly than qlippoth could ever hope to match. Today, qlippoth have been driven to the deepest, darkest corners of the Outer Rifts where they cling tightly to the crumbling remains of their territory.

As qlippoth lost territory to their demonicrivals, they realized that the only way to stem the tide of demonic forces was to starve them of the sinful souls that the Outer Rifts uses to spawn new demons. While qlippoth have no concept of how they might go about preventing sin by changing the way mortals act, they do understand that exterminating mortal life would solve the problem as well.

Sidebar - Additional Lore Qlippoth Lords

The most powerful qlippoth are quasi-deities themselves, ancient entities only rarely worshipped by non-qlippoth. Of these monstrous divinities, the Polymorph Plague, Yamasoth, is well-known as the creator of the gongorinans. Others include Chavazvug the Crawling Inferno, Isph-Aun-Vuln the Feaster Within, and Thuskchoon the Everglutton.

Sidebar - Locations Qlippoth Realms

Although it is widely accepted that qlippoth have lost incalculable territory in the Outer Rifts to demonkind, these fiends still control vast regions in the deepest reaches of that plane. Some sages suggest the troubling possibility that perhaps qlippoth still hold more territory of the Outer Rifts than demons do, but because demons are more concerned with mortal life, we simply interact with the rifts they control more often. For all we know, these dour sages postulate, the Outer Rifts teems with endless swarms of qlippoth that have yet to make their move against mortal life.
