# [[Mulventok]]
![[Mulventok.svg]]
A Level 7 aberration creature created from [[Urdefhan|Urdofan]] to serve as bodyguards and soldiers for more powerful creatures. The party has fought multiple Mulventoks across the Gauntlight, always paired with a [[Drider]] as arena guards.
## Appearance
- Hyperdeveloped muscles under *clear skin*
- Silvery skin and overlarge bulging arms
- Visible rotting flesh underneath despite not being undead
## Combat Profile
- **Negative healing**: Heals from negative/void damage despite being an aberration, not undead
- **Vitality 20 weakness**: Take 20 extra damage from vitality damage
- **Fist attacks**: Powerful bludgeoning (~20 damage per hit)
- **Chakram**: Drawn as a weapon (the second Mulventok carried a *+1 chakram*)
- **Shield**: Raises a steel shield for defence
- **Death explosion**: When killed, erupts in a shower of silvery skin and rotting flesh; deals 28 void damage in an area on a failed Reflex save (mostly *gross*, but the void damage is real)
- **Last word**: Shouted *"[[Belcorra]]"* on death — implication: at minimum some Mulventoks are bound to or aware of Belcorra
## Encounters
- **Session 092** — *Avenging Ash*: Encountered as bodyguard to a part-spider-part-person creature, dragging corpses in the arena area; [[Jaspen Bond Callistair|Bond]] identified it and its vitality 20 weakness ([[092_20250727 Avenging Ash]])
- **Session 097** — *Mulvenboom*: Killed by [[Vayle]]'s *Vitality Lance* for 29 vitality damage; exploded shouting *"Belcorra"* ([[097_20251004 Mulvenboom]])
- **Session 098** — *Inq, Zem, and the Vordine Resistance*: A second Mulventok defeated alongside a [[Drider]] in the arena; party recovered a *+1 chakram* and a steel shield. [[Vayle]] noted that both the drider and Mulventok had likely contracted the [[Black Frost Zombie|Black Frost]] curse and would have died of it anyway ([[098_20251018 Inq, Zem, and the Vordine Resistance]])
## Open Threads
- Are the Mulventoks all loyal to Belcorra, or only the Gauntlight ones (because of proximity)?
- What does the Urdofan-to-Mulventok conversion actually involve? Are there reversals possible?
- Why pair them so consistently with driders in arena guard duty?
