The immense, ravenous augnagar qlippoth are the apex predators of the Abyssal ecosystem.

The brutish and gluttonous augnagar live to feast—preferably on rotten flesh and, when possible, demon flesh. But to them, the greatest delicacy is the flesh of other augnagars.

An augnagar that gorges sufficiently, especially on other augnagars, can grow so massive it can't even move, thrashing and festering where it lies. It eventually flies into a frenzy of self-cannibalism as it rips apart its own flesh to feast on. From the ruinous remains emerges a thulgant—a smaller but more powerful qlippoth.

Appearance

An augnagar is a spider-like creature with three stinger-tipped tails and eight swollen legs connected by leathery bat-like wings. It has a wingspan of 30 feet and weighs 6,000 pounds.

Abilities

An augnagar's bite imparts a rotting curse that manifests as hideous, festering wounds that exude a horrific stench. Creatures that succumb to an augnagar's horrific appearance are driven momentarily insane.

Ecology

Relatively slow-witted, augnagars cling to the walls and ceilings of the deep Abyssal rifts. Despite being outsiders that need no food to survive, they still feed on anything that they can overpower. Augnagars prefer the taste of rotten flesh, flavoured by its rotting curse, particularly that of demons and especially of other qlippoth.

When an augnagar feeds upon enough qlippoth flesh, it grows enormously bloated such that it can no longer fly, at which point it tears its own body apart to form a smaller but more powerful thulgant qlippoth.
