Argorth
Argorths are the spawn of the Mothers of Oblivion, and are among the most fearsome minions of Lamashtu. They are beasts of raw destruction—walking natural disasters—that follow the quiet whispers of their demon goddess.1
Appearance and description
Argorths resemble enormous, unholy worms made of thrashing flesh and gnashing teeth. They lack the segmented appearance of a worm and are supported by numerous tentacle-like legs. Argorths are nearly 30 feet long and apparently lack sensory organs. Their sole facial feature is a gaping chasm-like mouth lined with shark-like teeth that spans the width of their body.
As a creature obsessed with destruction, an argorth does not have a wide array of special powers, and those it does have all help it in its ruinous quest. It can unleash an unholy, unearthly howl that terrifies any but the most stalwart of souls. Due to its enormous size, it can swallow most creatures whole or use its tremendous mass to crush them.1
Habitat and ecology
Argorths are not born in any conventional sense of the word. They are created from the severed tentacle of a Mother of Oblivion, which can become so enraged with blood-thirst that they refuse to stop killing and attack even when everything left to kill is dead. In this case, the Mother of Oblivion tears off her own tentacle, thus creating an argorth.
Argorths do not have a set habitat and wander the land, carving a trail of destruction wherever it goes. They do not seek the company of other argorths since their unique method of creation removes the need to mate.1
