High prophets of blight
High prophets of blight are not prophets in the standard sense. Most prophets see the future, these prophets work to create the future. Their vision of the future is a world overrun with monstrosities and mutants where blight flows and little is left of the original world.
There exists two forms of prophet, one for blight and one for mind blight. The corrupt blight branch of the worshipers do not have prophets.
High prophets of blight:

Now all that remains is a massive cycloptic floating head covered in writhing tentacles each tipped with a powerful magic eye. Its flesh is burned and scarred from the process of its creation and its mind filled with false visions of grandeur.
High prophets of mind blight:
A high priest of the Worshipers of Mind Blight whose flesh has rotted, melted, or been burned away in a horrific ritual.

Its eye sockets burn with green fire as it seeks only to spread its influence and destroy those who fail to submit.
