An entity of hunger and endless growth. Genlawer seeks nothing more than to consume all that falls into its path. Striking and gnashing with an almost animalistic rage, such a creature can not be communicated with, much less reasoned with. Genlawer's arrival is signified by a rain of dust that causes those that the dust falls on to develop crippling tumours and a violent insatiable hunger. Most die from this, those that survive manifest into Genlawer spawn, these spawn congregate to one predetermined place, where they fight and consume one another, with the survivor growing into the aspect of Genlawer. |
