"I was only using mud because I thought the others would get mad at me for converting humans. If you think I would be okay, then I guess I could..."
He whispers something, but the wind carries it away before the Demon can hear it. A small group of humans begin to walk over, looking excited.
Zd' grabs a human in a smothering big bear hug, causing darkness to erupt from their flesh, corrupting the human into some sort of strange, skull-masked, shadowy monster in seconds. The mutated human falls to their knees, wings twitching, then onto their side, gasping for breath. The other humans rush over to help, only to get a thumbs-up from their corrupted comrade.

'Hmm. I wouldn't recommend mud. Too dirty, could never produce something of good quality'

The Great One's big, sad eyes turn to the Demon. "I've seen gods use mud before, and it turned out fine for them."
