Editing Mutalith Vortex Beast (section)

==Overview==

Mutalith Vortex Beasts are terrifying abominations of nature, which have been mutated beyond all reason by the power of Chaos and is now a conduit of raw abstract and chaotic powers of absolute [[Bullshit]]. Because of this, any servant of the Dark Gods who wishes to use these avatars of living tentacle rape, risks suffering from mutation or madness (atleast more-so than usual).

The Mutalith Vortex Beast differs from the average [[Chaos Spawn|disgusting thing]] in a striking manner: a vortex of raw Chaos echoing the shape of the 8-pointed star looms up from its back, with a shard of the great eye that crowns [[Magnus the Red]]'s tower in the star's center. Nine huge tentacles extend out of its mouth, each of which is dripping with ichor. Finally, it possesses two tails that end in mouths, tongues and claws. It comes with an alternate head that has no tongue; instead there is a grimacing maw and growths protruding from its face.

Mutaliths also aren't born (un)naturally in contrast to most [[Chaos Beast]] or God-aligned creatures. Instead, they are formed by the collapsed fusion dance of multiple [[Chaos Spawn|They-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named.]] When under the exposure of the warp energies that flow around the surface of the [[Sortiarius|Planet of the Sorcerers]], they undergo another form of mutation. In most cases, the would-be mutalith is unable to handle the mutations it goes through, and collapses on itself, turning into ooze. But when Tzeentch feels like it, the shall-not-be-named entity will instead continue to mutate into a full Mutalith with continued warp-energy exposure. Additionally, through a stroke of good/bad luck, Tzeentch can also turn one of his chosen champions into a Mutalith, instead of achieving daemonhood. For example, a Thousand Sons sorcerer believed completing 999 rituals would grant him unparalleled power. [[Just as planned|The final ritual involved sacrificing an entire planet as well as his forces to Tzeentch]], and when completed, Tzeentch followed through on the promise… [[Not as planned|by making the sorcerer into one of these things.]]

Basically, they're the daemon prince version of [[Chaos Spawn|They-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named.]] Either becoming more powerful with a god's patronage, or devolving further into nothingness.

So far, only the [[Thousand Sons]] seem to be able to both tame and master control of these beasts in 40k, though in Age of Sigmar there more common across the various chaos faction rather then just the Tzeentch ones.
