Torrent Spawn

“The bottom of the ship erupted. It was like nothing I'd ever before. A great hole torn from the hull. As my fellow sailors screamed and ran, they began to vanish beneath the water one at a time. As if someone was yanking them under. But I never saw what it was.”

-- entry in a journal discovered by a lost sailor named Maria Avanella of The Tide Changer Within the Realm of Chaos resides Uul, an eldritch dark god that has consumed countless realities.

It is this ancient entity of madness and despair that Silus of the Rift called upon to fulfill his plans of conquest. What Silus offered was of great interest to Uul: to feed upon The Source. To taste mana from the Well which had been forever beyond its enormous reach.

And so the elder god of a thousand screaming worlds gazed upon a single point of pure, primal energy, its power a familiar echo of the creation of All. When Silus opened the Gateway, Uul knew that its enormity could never pass through the revealed portal; however, that did not mean it could not make its presence known in the world beyond.

The Shade of Uul took shape within the Splinterlands and gave unto Silus a horrific gift. By twisting and corrupting the six primary elements of magic, a brood of Fiends was created, each a grotesque representation of a different form of magic. Fueled by the power of Uul, the Fiends are a nightmare to behold.

It is said to gaze upon a Fiend is to stare into the face of utter Hopelessness and know that the End has come.

The Torrent Fiend is rarely seen above the water. It is nearly invisible as it swims through the depths, blending in with the sea life and the currents. However, it is just as comfortable on land as it is underwater. Its amphibious nature makes it extremely versatile, and the Chaos Legion often sends the Torrent Fiend to attack targets on, around, or under the water.

No ship is too big for it take down, and legends tell of it attacking great war ships by swimming underneath them and ripping great holes into their hulls. It then surges inside with the water and yanks the helpless sailors into the depths.

The Torrent Fiend uses its elemental water magic to send great gusts of wind at its foes, reducing the effectiveness of their ranged attacks.
