Some sages speculated that some of the necromancer kings of old were actually atropals. In times when atropals were unleashed on the Prime Material plane, they went on furious killing spree until destroyed or neutralized. These undead godling husks were hated by deities who actively tried to hide atropals underneath ancient crypts of long-dead civilizations to banish them to forgotten cemetery planes of existence. The atropals spewed obscenities, stuck in perpetual state of anger at the universe and their malformed existence. Unlike regular atropals, scions sought to spread evil via magically empowering themselves with knowledge of life and death. Despite its appearance, an atropal scion was extremely intelligent and powerful. If given unlife, the "atropal scion" became an unformed monster, resembling an overgrown dead fetus, sometimes with an umbilical cord still attached. A piece of an atropal's godly flesh could become a "godling" itself of diminished power but just as filled with spite and evil, unless destroyed. Atropal Scions Īn atropal scion was truly one of the most perverse undead creatures willed to unlife by dark gods of death. Unlike ghouls, however, atropals lacked eyes, having instead empty, skin-covered sockets. Most of the flesh of an atropal was rotted, with swollen joints and exposed bones. Some atropals resembled ghouls to an extent, with pale red skin, long tongues, and razor-sharp teeth. Unable to walk on the dead misshapen members, atropals always flew. Their skinny appendages had tiny clawed hands while the legs were useless and atrophied. The creatures' black eyes stared with vacantness as the entire undead body drooled, oozed, and secreted pungent ichor. Their skin was wet, wrinkled, and dead, while the head was enraged and hairless. Most atropals' appeared as malformed bloated, grotesque and unfinished obviously undead creatures with splotches of black afterbirth.
