Description

In major dungeons and lairs, the vast caverns and winding tunnels can get so complex that it almost mimics a city. You get areas of sleep, routes that get the heaviest traffic and, of course, a place where all the filth and muck settles. It is no city sewer, but it tends to smell just as bad, if not worse. A layer beneath the sprawling dungeon, where all the feces, blood and other ungodly fluids trickle down and pool. For many, visiting such level of this area is unthinkable. The smell would peel your skin off and the stains on your good battle armor would never come out. However, some heroes have noticed that they aren't the only ones turned off by this foul mire. Many other monsters and beasts avoid this sewer as well, for pretty much the same reasons. It is a cesspool for disease and infection, so why ever go near it? With this knowledge, some adventurers advise slogging through this wretched pit, as it allows you to sneak beneath many encounters and reach your destination unchallenged. The creatures that do live in this vile swamp are hardly a concern too, as they are mere scavengers and dung eaters. No real threat. In most cases, they are right. However, if you do find yourself in an especially populous dungeon, or the layer of a particularly powerful dragon, then one may think twice. A beast of godly might is unmatched in many things, and it so happens to apply to the potency of their feces as well. Dung like that may scatter many other species, but there are a few that are drawn to such a rich supply.

Delve into the great mires of filth to avoid the scourges above, and you may encounter an even worse foe. The putrid swamps can be home to the infamous Grimera, an amalgamation of everything rotten and filthy. It lurks these foul lands in search of rich dung and undigested goodies, rolling them up into perfect balls to lug back to its decomposing layer. While it does enjoy feeding on filth, it will jump on the opportunity to devour something fresher, and intruding adventurers fit the menu. It may seem like a shambling parasite, but it is a far greater threat then some may believe. Its rat head boasts powerful incisors that can gnaw through bone and armor, coated in disease-riddled saliva. From its porcine head comes clouds of caustic vapor, shot out of its dribbling snout in great plumes. From its back comes waves of hungry maggots, eager to dine on flesh and dung alike. Its many tails boast foul spikes, a thirst for blood, and enough of a mind to swing at what it wants. Its mighty insectile fist is perfect for crushing or for rolling up filthy balls of dung and chucking them at foes. With all this combined, the Grimera is powerful enemy, that also happens to live in a place where a single open wound can doom you to a slow and miserable death. Be messily devoured or rolled up in a dung ball and left to decompose until you reach that ripe stage of rot.

Grimeras can be tamed or summoned, but don't expect to have a lot of friends or allies around if you have one. The neighbors will probably complain too. And perhaps the entire kingdom.

"Grimera, as in GRIME-ERA"

Well crap, I completely missed the change of the year and am feeling kind of out of it. All these folks making art for the new year or talking about future goals and past victories and what not. But I bungled it all and totally forgot! I know! How about a rat?? Everyone loves rats! Give you folks a rat for a treat! Year of the Rat, ya know! Right? Right? Uh, Year of the Pig? Year of the Botfly? Tapeworm? Dung Beetle? Ramrod?

Yep, start of the new year and already beefed it! Oh well, par for the course...
