A nestled horror's body is a twisted mass of musculature with fleshy wings and tentacles, connected at its stalk to a corpse by yet more tentacles, though it can't fly. The nestled horror has eyes along its tentacles and body, with a snaking head-like structure that ends in a gaping maw. The corpse attached beneath and the tentacles holding it in place give the impression of a toothy cage beneath the creature's winged form. The nestled horror seeks a home to call its own, where it can lay roots and grow into a massive nest of horrors. |
