The Mind Walker – Abomination of Intellect

The Mind Walker – Abomination of Intellect

Aberration

Perched high upon jointed, needle-sharp appendages with a swollen cerebral mass housing a needle-fanged maw, The Mind Walker commands unsettling physical authority on the grid. Clad in exposed, convoluted brain tissue and spined arachnid legs straddling a clutch of membranous pod sacs, its towering posture captures a biological thinking machine prowling urban ruins. Keepers can deploy this Artifact as a high-threat aberration boss, an apex neural predator, or a horrific centerpiece stalker in plague-choked quarantine zones.

Tabletop Lore

Whilst Amalgamations represent the contorted bodies of mortals broken by Dragonblight, Mind Walkers are non-human species that meet an equally gruesome fate at the end of the affliction’s lifecycle. Those who succumb have their craniums pried open like hatching eggs from within, freeing their swollen, hyper-developed brains to scurry toward others of their kind. Merging into enormous megabrains, these biological thinking machines sprout jointed eldritch limbs directly from their cerebral grooves, carrying them through the ruined streets of Canos to expand their collective intellect.

Highlight

The stark visual contrast of a massive, heavily convoluted brain structure mounted upon elongated, needle-clawed legs straddling a nest of pod eggs delivers an unforgettable alien silhouette.

Encounter Insight
