Deacon of Fear - Bloodborne 2 Contest Submission

This is a concept sculpt I did of an enemy for VaatiVidya's Bloodborne 2 contest. This creature is a proto-form of the Amygdala from Bloodborne.

Here is the lore I wrote up with this submission:

"-The land of Isz lies in contact with the cosmos, which allowed the Great Ones to function on transcendental planes of thought." - Isz Root Chalice

Before the final hunt of the city of Yharnam, came the fall of the lands beneath. The ascension of the land of Isz sparked the transformation of those who chose to discard the shackles of their humanity. Those who clung to their fleshly binds were warped by the touch of the celestial tendrils which reached out to them, becoming kin. Those Great Ones who had elevated their being, were sympathetic to those who did not follow and reached out beyond Isz to elevate all they
could to a higher plane of thought.

An emissary of these Great Ones sent out to herald their touch were the Deacons of Fear. These Deacons, aspiring Great Ones, sought to spread the word of their eldritch masters and expand the Pthumerian understanding of Truth. Those successful were able to complete their ascent, but always kept a gaze upon the realms of man.

The Deacons of Fear are extremely agile enemies, using their many arms to crawl and leap from higher positions unto their prey. From a distance, they may lash out with their primary tentacle and impale the unsuspecting upon it. When close enough, if a barrage of clawing attacks has not downed their foe, they shall restrain them with
their many appendages and drink deeply of the Truth within.
