Ascended Flayers of Hendrak – Metamorphic Servants

Ascended Flayers of Hendrak – Metamorphic Servants

Aberration

Standing tall with a bulbous, tentacled visage and extending an open clawed hand to channel psionic dominance, this Ascended Flayer brings imposing alien dread to the battle grid. Clad in ornate filigree shoulder pauldrons, etched wrist vambraces, and flowing waist drapes over a bare muscular torso, its upright posture captures a refined mind-weaver commanding planar forces. Keepers can deploy this Artifact as an elite aberrant lieutenant, an sinister psionic cultist, or a formidable spellcasting threat guarding dark sanctuaries.

Tabletop Lore

Once human mortals, these terrifying entities were transformed into devout servants of Hendrak through dark, unnatural metamorphosis. After Hendrak’s journey to Duoarastat and Khandara in Oldavor, he uncovered the forbidden secrets of physical and mental alteration, using them to forge an army of mind-weavers. Built from captured rangers, lost wanderers, and prisoners taken from the wastes of Oldavor and the depths of Khandara, these reborn flayers now execute their master’s will with absolute, unyielding devotion.

Highlight

The stark visual contrast of detailed, high-collared filigree armor and sweeping waist drapes paired with a muscular, tentacled mind-weaver anatomy establishes an exceptionally sleek yet eerie silhouette.
