Smith - Vulthoom — Description

Behold, yet another flower monster by CAS. I think at this point he could make entire faction in HOMM formed exclusively by flower monsters XD (The faction would be called hippies XD)

Anyway, Vulthoom is a godlike alien residing in the caverns deep below the surface of Mars. He is not native to the planet. Sadly unlike what his name would suggest he is not a vulture-mushroom hybrid, sigh.

Somehow, the thing was like a gigantic plant, with innumerable roots, pale and swollen, that ramified from a bulbular hole. This bole, half hidden from view, was topped with a vermilion cup like a monstrous blossom; and from the cup there grew an elfin figure, pearly-hued, and formed with exquisite beauty and symmetry; a figure that turned its Lilliputian face toward Haines and spoke in the sounding voice of Vulthoom:
"You have conquered for the time, but I bear no rancor toward you. I blame my own carelessness.""

Clark Ashton Smith, Vulthoom
