Shapes

Shapes appearing

The Shapes, or Servants of The Darkness, are the creatures that inhabit the town of Lorwich. They are servants of the Great Old Ones and Cthulhu. At least most of the Shapes appear suddenly within a dark mist.

Biography[]

When the town unleashed the creatures within the mine, the slaughtering of people were dismissed as animal attacks. [1] The enemies in this title are creatures of darkness, beings evoked by the Great Ancients and identified as the lineage of Qu'orror . These monsters become vulnerable only when exposed to light.

Biology[]

Not much is known about the shapes, other than having an aversion to light, such as a fire or even an electrical light. When using the Priest's charged up attack, simpler creatures such as the Wraiths and demons combust. Stronger, more durable creatures such as Hell Hound and Goblins make them vulnerable for a time to attacks, as if it is affected by a source of light.

Lightning is also harmful towards the creatures, as seen with the lightning conducting wire The Ghost Town.

  • Witch's basic attack, lightning bolt, is mostly fatal to the basic creatures.
  • Light that has been enhanced by the Martense order magic (burning glow) attacks the creatures of darkness in addition to rendering them vulnerable.
  • Interestingly, the glow of the Old One's blood renders the Shape's skins invulnerable.
