    He is Nurgle, the inter-dimensional psychic embodiment of all that is filth and disease, a chaos god forged from an advanced civilizations’ indulgence and corruption taken form in a rift between worlds formerly used for deepspace travel, thereby making the rift unusable and leading to the destruction of that race.

    If you touch anything within range of that guy you’ll throw up all of your insides and they will sew those insides to the outside of your body.

      Nah I knew a guy who made extract when that was all the rage and he lived like an absolute pig but cooked like a chemist. Big daddy biological warfare over there knows how to make the good shit if he’s engineering super viruses for genetically immune science projects. Pass me the biohazard boof.

      Where’s that from?

        Warhammer 40k

        Theres a bunch of books and videogames based on an old tabletop rpg.

        You can also read about Chaos Gods and “The Warp” on the online wikis.

          I mean Nurgle’s origin specifically.

          From my understanding he was always around, what with being the embodiment of entropy.

          The idea of an alien civilization getting too into indulgence and creating a chaos god and dooming itself sounds a lot like Slaanesh and the Eldar.

            I was under the impression that all Chaos Gods were born via the same process with Slaanesh simply being the youngest, nurgle being the third oldest, and that is further supported by the fact that everything in the warp exists as a result of something that existed in reality.

            A race spread and prospers, the density of their psychic energy grows, it creates a chaos god and that god destroys everything like a repeating cycle.

            The Warp was created by an advanced psychic civilization The Old Ones who created the Eldar and other xeno races as soldiers in their war against the necrons and at this point the chaos gods did not exist.
