Chapter 3, Mother Plague
Little is known about her, the little data that scouts managed to gather from her suggest she may have been once a cor like any other, who eventually suffered from Crystallization. But something went very, very wrong... And somehow, the black plague started; she is the oldest creature with a record of being infected, the reason why she received the "Mother Plague" name; still, no matter how many centuries pass...
She never seems to succumb to hunger like the others... But that does not stop her; barely any cors have ever escaped from her alive, and those who did carry wounds that not even the most advanced medicine could treat.
The council wishes to study more about her, perhaps by knowing her origin, they would be able to find a definitive cure for the plague, but such has proven time and time again to be a fruitless, suicidal mission.

The most recent depiction of Mother Plague. Standing at 19 feet tall by her shoulder, she is one of the most massive, and aggressive, beasts that can be found in the wastelands. From the little data ever collected from her, it suggests that her entire body is covered by a thick layer of black, sticky material that oozes from the multiple crystals that, in theory, must be attached to what is left of her original body underneath the goo. Which, many scientists believe it is just bone, as the only few areas where her original body is visible, only her skeleton is seen, with no organs, no muscle tissue, nerves, nothing. |

It is believed that she depends entirely on magic to function, and only moves for this purpose.
When comparing with records from decades ago, it has been noticed how she seems to be getting larger, after some calculations, it is believed that by the time the plague had started 2000 years ago, Mother Plague had a height of 13ft by shoulder.
