The Avatar of Gluttony

An Avatar is a representative of their respective Celestial, the closest mankind will ever get to seeing a Celestial are these apocalyptic abominations. The Avatar of Gluttony, or the Lamb, is only one of many Avatars. Rivaling the size of some skyscrapers, the Lamb would potentially spur on an end of the world scenario. While it is rather unintelligent and quite slow, the true danger of this behemoth is that the more it eats, the more Munchkins it spawns from its flesh. It’s easy to see how this can get wildly out of control very quickly. The most terrifying aspect of this creature being summoned into our world though, is that it is said its arrival heralds the end of the world with the first of seven seals breaking. From then on, every further seal broken, will release an Avatar of the 7 deadly sins upon humanity.

A monster concept for a webcomic I’ve had in mind for a while now called Chaos Born. I’m finally working out some colored renditions creature and character designs now that I have a tablet to draw on. Anyway, here are my favorite little monstrosities I’ve designed to show up in the story...

MUNCHKINS!!!

Small children of the Avatar of gluttony, they are driven by pure hunger. They travel in packs from as little as 5 to an unknown maximum, with some accounts reaching into the hundreds. They will devour anything in their path including animals, minerals, dirt, buildings, or really anything. After eating an exuberant amount of material, munchkins will grow in size, or sometimes even fusing with other munchkins to create larger “Dark Young”, now with tendrils and newly developed hooves. Luckily for humanity, they are hard to summon into our universe, but if they were to enter our realm, we would be in trouble as they are quite durable. Mostly immune to gunfire and explosives with jaws capable of ripping through solid steel, on top of reaching top speeds of 20 mph, they are an obvious threat to anyone and anything around them
