Description
The corpse ball is created from a core of aberrant tissue created by the Elder Gods. This core draws the corpses of the fallen to itself, forming it into a rough ball of flesh, bone, and blood. Once formed, the ball is able to grow in size by rolling over more bodies, until it finally maxes out at Gargantuan size. It has no innate desires, other than to consume the dead and increase its size.
