To produce these green, gooey masses of death the Allspawn consumes fresh organic matter. After digestion, it then compresses that flesh down into a hollow cavity roughly the size of a large chariot. After several days of adding new material, the Allspawn implants a small bit of its essence into the ball which gives it the spark of life it needs to move. Finally, the Allspawn regurgitates it onto land. From there it joins the endless hordes of Lodum."

The Tarum's were Capulia's slave lizards and pressed into service as militia during the rise of the Allspawn, but like their human fellows they too choked to death on the toxic fumes that poured forth from the Smokestack's single, hollow pillar of flesh. Smokestacks are grown by the Childern of the Allspawn and require rare ingredients from a number of plants, animals, and magical sources. This makes them both expensive and slow to produce. A single Smokestack can turn the tide of a battle, spreading a swath of poisonous decay that leaves the enemy breathless. Despite their terrible power, Smokestacks are physically weak creatures with little ability for direct confrontation. When they do find themselves in combat, they fight with a set of thick, black tentacles that leech life from all those they touch."

They are nearly fearless being so possessed by the spirit of the Allspawn that they will fight to the last.

It provides a modicum of protection to the creature beneath the metal veil, which combined with its natural regenerative abilities, can make all the difference when closing the gap to the enemy. Shamblers are created from rotting organic material. They have no true form, as often leaving behind a patch of themselves on the battlefield, as growing new appendages from fresh organic matter scavenged from fallen warriors. Other nations tell tales of putting Shamblers to the sword, and finding their fallen comrades among the mix of foul smelling rot."

Due to their sheer size and slow movement, Congealed Masses are easy targets in melee.

Stalkers assimilate into other cultures by literally harvesting the memories, and skin, of its first victim. This makes them difficult to detect by even the most steadfast of guards. Once it is in place, the Stalker can assume that person's identity until a new one is needed, or its primary target comes within range. Wrapped in the flesh of its victim's friends, or family, a stalker can close the distance to its target to deliver a deadly poison via a pair of injectors. Even if the Stalker is slain during the course of its attack the pestilent nature of its felled body can leave its target diseased and unable to recover from a slow, agonizing death."

Making his home near Capulia in a deep, cavernous lair, the dragon served at once as jealous protector of his worshippers, and capricious master of his servants. Capulia lived securely, if not always comfortably, under his rule. Regularly taking tithe from Capulia in riches and flesh, the powerful God-aspirant enjoyed many pleasures for years before the Allspawn threatened his domain. Eventually, after a terrible battle that devastated his lair and annihilated a significant fraction of the Allspawn's forces, the dragon was captured and subsumed. Recognizing his power, the Allspawn carefully infused the beast with its essence, and transformed him into a creature wielding a myriad of poisons and a thick exuded-slime armor atop his scales. Most importantly, the Allspawn erased his free will, but not his cunning and intellect; Phoenix is now a deadly foe, entrusted with the most critical strategic missions."

Even the enslaved race of lizard men known as the Kareeth knew some measure of respect and success amongst the people of Capulia. While they had less status and freedom than their human counterparts the Kareeth could hope to ascend to minor positions of power in government and society.

The Allspawn is the soul of Lodum, and in its creator's eyes, the end of evolution. Lodum has no government, no people, only legions of monsters birthed from, or infected by, the Allspawn. Now the Allspawn ascends towards Godhood, embracing all that it can."
