Gulla
Gullatu are monsters, reanimated by Erragal. Their bodies and minds are both warped beyond recognition as anything that was once human. They are true monsters.
Basic Information
Anatomy
Gullatu are semiupright, able to move more smoothly on all fours than on their feet. Their arms are long, and their hides are mottled.
Genetics and Reproduction
Gullatu spread their infection through biting the living, something they only ever do to reproduce.
Growth Rate & Stages
The mutations wrought by Erragal begin at the very moment of death. The longer their unlife goes on, the more extreme these mutations become until they eventually starve, being unable to chew food. At this time, they withdraw into themselves and enter a final torpor. They will eventually fossilize.
Ecology and Habitats
Gullatu live underground, preferably near graveyards.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Gullatu eat flesh already softened by decay. They cannot digest fresh meat, which makes them violently ill.
Biological Cycle
Gullatu lay corpselike for most nights until they smell a rotting corpse. The rousing scent will attract all of those in the area and they will feast. For several nights after, they are active until they either continue their nighttime dancing by feasting again or fall once more into a profound sleep to wait.
Behaviour
Gullatu are twisted and sardonic. They have a cosmic view of mortality and existence, finding nothing at all to be important. They find the suffering and tribulation of mortals to be hilarious.
Additional Information
Social Structure
Gullatu live in packs. They carefully maintain their numbers relative to their foodsource. A pack of Gullatu is two to five individuals per hundred people in the settlement.
