Description
There is many ways for those inclined to the path of eternal lie to attempt their journey, few require the dedication of others given the solitary nature of those most horrid of magic users. A Covenant Ova however, is born of the utter devotion to an evil spellcaster that can grant power to their master, a number of cultists dedicated to an evil spellcaster can bind three willing sycophants and meld their flesh using dark magic into a gravid oval to serve as the egg of rebirth from which they can be borne into the world. From which the potential metamorphosed enters the egg and begins their shift into a monstrous magical being with the Covenant Ova serving as their phylactery with such a godling often hailed as a messianic figure.
As such these creatures are often found cloistered within cults, using other fawning members of their masters plan, guarded and protected. The malformed gaze of the creature can foster a protective urge in attacks whom after defeating their allies is devoured to fuel the foul ritual.
