Description

Countermeasures are creatures created by an elder brain to counter specific players depending on their life paths. Where life should bloom, the Blot spreads only rot and void. The Blot doesn't just oppose nature — it erases its memory. Forests rot in its presence. Beasts flee or fall still. What was once a great protector of the forest, is now a monster infected within an illithid tadpole.
