Voidspawn

Voidspawn are creatures of the outer void, inscrutable but malevolent servants of the Elder Gods.

History
Voidspawn are created when the malevolent energy of the outer void crackles against the edge of an ordered universe, such as the one containing Teldaris. The existence of these pockets of order amongst the infinite void is torture to these beings, and their entire existence is devoted to its destruction. The greatest among them organise the teeming hordes into great dark tides that swarm through the gaps in the sane universe's defenses.

Physicality
Most Voidspawn appear to be composed of inky black darkness, and bleed dark vapors when their forms are cut into. Some Voidspawn, notably those who wield magic or particularly powerful specimens, are marked with swirling, chaotic lights. Contact with one of the Voidspawn, or with the vapors they 'bleed', is inimical to living creatures, sapping their life-force and making these creatures even more difficult to fight.

In Teldaris
Voidspawn slip into the universe through cracks in the net of stars woven by Polaris to protect Teldaris from the harsh, hostile outer void and the dark gods that exist within it. Once there, Voidspawn have two goals - the most common, held by the faceless hordes and mindless brutes that make up the vast majority of the Voidspawn, is pure destruction and chaos. Unlike Demons, who are punishments from the gods and aim to torment their targets, these Voidspawn have little understanding of human emotion or connection, and act out of an instinct towards destruction, rather than a desire to cause pain. The other goal, held by the more powerful and cunning creatures among them, is to interfere with the efforts of creatures on Teldaris to prevent more of their kind from slipping through. To accomplish this goal, they can control the lesser voidspawn, communicating telepathically.
