Foul fess

Foul fess is a Yavaun Critter unit in War Wind.

Background
The territorial abnormalities commonly called the Foul Fess are, as far as I can determine, a byproduct of the genetic waste generated by our bio-mechanic factories, slough on which Psionic and magical experimentation has given a weird semblance of life or purpose. Rising up from the deep water of the Swampy areas they normally inhabit, they surprise and attack any life form out of malice and jealousy, somehow recognising hemselves as "living"outside the normal cycle of life on Yavaun, Distinguished by their long, slender, misshapen forms covered in thick layers of muck and waste, they take their forms from varying tissue compositions, pulling themselves together from the cast-off materials and discarded from the factory pumps. The mindless aberrations take life from whatever creatures it is able to kill adding the life-force of its victim to itself.

For ages, Tha'Roon factories and laboratories have been pumping their bio-hazardous wastes into the swamps of Yavaun. The eventual result was the Foul Fess. An anomaly which has somehow acquired the status of a species, this is a strange semblance of a life form. Various chemical and magical byproducts in the waters of Yavaun have coalesced into a grotesque, malignant creature. The Foul Fess dwells underwater, and rises to the surface to investigate any disturbance, mindlessly lashing out at whatever its muddy tentacles can reach.
