Sigma — Description
Sigma is an undead creature created by Ver'Rahl the necromancer, and it is one of his stranger constructions. Though seen as a single being, Sigma is actually two different entities bound together. One entity is the being of pale flesh, while the other is a squid-like creature that clings to its form. The squid creature possesses extremely long and extremely tough tentacles, which it uses to completely wrap the pale figure. The appearance of Sigma is quite odd, which is compounded further by the fact that Sigma is impossibly heavy. Though Sigma stands about twenty feet tall, its sheer mass is easily triple that amount. Sigma moves extremely slow, due to its obscene weight, with each step causing the earth around it to shake. Missiles from trebuchets and catapults cannot topple it, and battering rams do little to faze the titan. The creature is a baffling one, until one realizes how it is constructed. The pale body that is covered in the tendril wrappings is actually composed of hundreds of corpses that were melded into one mass. These bodies were fused together, resulting in a massive blob-like creature of spongy consistency. The squid-like creature is responsible for gathering this huge undead mass and compressing it into its current form. A crazy amount of strength is exerted by these tendrils to hold the creature together, compressing all of its mass to the point where it is rock solid and extremely heavy. What results from this bizarre pairing is a giant undead creature of baffling weight and power, as it throws its compressed bulk around to shatter walls and blow through defenses. Though Sigma is quite slow, it is capable of plowing its way through practically every defense, taking out reinforced gates with a lazy swipe of its hands. Between some of the wrappings droop compressed balls of flesh, which Sigma can pluck off and toss. These too have an impressively high density, possessing the weight of a boulder in less than a quarter of the size. Sigma also possess two orifices at the ends of its "arms," which are used to consume foes, both alive and dead. Those swallowed by Sigma are absorbed into its flesh, adding to its sheer mass. When Sigma devours a decent sized meal, one can spot a section of its body balloon out, before the tendrils ratchet it back into place.

With its sheer mass and weight, Sigma is the perfect abomination to walk through enemy defenses and break through any barriers that hold back the undead hordes. Its compressed flesh is hard as stone, blocking almost all types of damage. Fire is even ineffective against it, as its body is too dense for fire to grab hold of. The squid-like creature is also impressively durable, its hide almost metal-like in nature. This duo is an obscenely powerful creation of Ver'Rahl's, and some wonder on how a foe could be toppled. Some eyes have turned to the squid creature that holds the main body together. If that entity would be slain, than perhaps Sigma would become vulnerable. Beware, though, as the squid is the only thing holding all that flesh together. Once its bindings are breached, there is no telling what shall explode forth as a result.
