This design is based on the premise that knowledge, while valuable, can become a destructive force when one lacks the ability to control it. The figure represents an individual hungry for power and forbidden wisdom who, in their reckless pursuit, was ultimately corrupted by the very thing they sought to master.
The narrative draws inspiration from necromancy and the dark arts: the character’s flesh and spirit are slowly corroded, stripped of their humanity, until they become an entity doomed to be consumed by itself. Dark tones and greenish hues evoke toxicity and poison, symbols of the corruption spreading through them.
In essence, this creature is not only a visually imposing enemy but also a reminder that knowledge without wisdom can become a curse.
