Haemonculi of Commorragh
I. Twisted Connoisseurs of Suffering
Haemonculi are the twisted flesh-sculptors and vile scientists of the Drukhari race. Dwelling deep within the spire-filled underbelly of Commorragh, these macabre masterminds devote themselves to the dark arts of torture, vivisection, and biochemical experimentation. Their ghastly pursuits elevate them to positions of obscene power, granting them long, unnatural life spans fueled by the agony they harvest from captives.
II. Masters of Bio-Arcana
Armed with an array of grotesque surgical tools and arcane biological knowledge, Haemonculi constantly refine their understanding of pain and bodily manipulation. They turn raw flesh into twisted monstrosities or living war machines, altering their unfortunate subjects at the genetic level to create unspeakable horrors. This mastery of the body extends to themselves as well; ancient Haemonculi have enhanced and mutated their own forms to become nearly indestructible.
III. Sculptors of Abominations
In their hidden workshops—known as Haemonculi Covens—these deranged artists orchestrate gruesome experiments on captives, slaves, and even fellow Drukhari. Armed with liquifiers, flesh gauntlets, and other ghastly weapons, the Haemonculi deploy their abominations to sow terror across the galaxy. Grotesques, Wracks, and Talos pain engines serve as living testaments to the nightmarish ingenuity of these depraved flesh-crafters.
IV. A Gateway to Immortality
Though Haemonculi may appear frail behind their emaciated forms and elongated limbs, they wield remarkable regenerative powers. By harnessing the extremes of pain, they can cheat death itself, returning to new, re-grown bodies again and again. Through their Covens, they offer dark bargains to those Drukhari seeking prolonged existence, but the cost is inevitably high. In the twisted hierarchy of Commorragh, the Haemonculi stand as immortal tyrants, shaping the future of their race through nightmarish artistry and perverse science.
