Eochbolan

"'I fear for Lethrinoc's sanity. Ever since we took a sample of that tissue from the ruins, whispers and the occasional stare of a shadowy figure in the darkness have become much more prominent in his life. I'm just baffled that he can't see any of the looming tendrils of crimson meat webbed all over his room. In truth, perhaps it is my own sanity I fear for...'"––Entry from the diary of Celephrint, an Alaitoch scholar.

Eochbolan is an Old God hailing from the Great Dark Beyond. His origins are vastly shrouded in obscurity and speculation, though certain Alaitoch records dictate that this formless being may hail from a ravaged world formerly decimated by the Burning Legion, Khearnec.

This creation of the Void Lords, while commonly perceived and presented as randomly spawning trails and webs of flesh, is in fact estimated to be much more different in form. The only confirmed accounts to suggest this have been made by Demon Hunters combating the Legion on other worlds in Eochbolan's presence. The tissue it leaves behind is considered to be, bluntly put, a footprint of sorts. It does not make up the being's physical form, but rather excretes off of it. Its true form is unfathomable to most mortal creatures, and those who have indeed witnessed it have yet to emerge or recover from a spiral into inescapable madness.

While the entity is indeed an Old God it is, in a sense, much more self aware. While scheming and planning carefully and efficiently are the ways of such creatures, in the case of the Hidden God, emotions and biases drive this creature. It is a being vastly superior to insignificant mortal prisons of bone and muscle, and yet it is susceptible to failure through its own 'personality'.
