Biography[]
Quote: "I may be ugly on the outside, but you're the real monster here! (Sob!)"
The Fomorach pits of the Seventh Generation are not a clean place. During the 1920s a member of the Medical Caste notices that most of the "subjects" thrown into the pits were not emerging fomori as expected. He investigated the pits, never to return. An armed party went in to find him. Half-eaten fomori lay everywhere, and five of the team died screaming, crushed by a shadowy blob. Eventually bringing the beast to bay, the Medical Caste determined that it was sentient and decided to use it to further their plans. The creatures' voracious appetite for other fomori soon outweighed its usefulness, though. Barely escaping the Seventh Generation, the Cone of Flesh was captured by the carnival and put in a cage. Serving for a while in Dr. Owl's museum, CoF was later moved to Freak City. CoF quickly took control of the freak show through a combination of brute force and low cunning.
Note: CoF can move on its own volition, leaving a trail like a slug. This takes energy, however, and it must make a Stamina roll (difficulty 6) every round or lose all mobility for five rounds. CoF is a cannibal, but prefers the taste of other fomori to humans. This does not mean humans are safe from the blob, however. CoF turns people into fomori through Procreation and then uses Malleate to make them into pleasing food shapes. Sometimes it uses these powers to create harmless new fomori for Freak City.
Appearance[]
Many who see Cone of Flesh (aka CoF) for the first time may mistake it for a giant pile of rancid mayonnaise. Shaped more than anything like a none-foot-tall chocolate chip, CoF's body is a grotesque series of bulbous fat rings. These rings grow larger as they near the ground, and tend to collect slime and roaches. The "Cone" is over nine feet tall, and over three yards wide at base. It has no apparent legs and is usually pulled around on a cart by the Barlows. Topping this mass is a malevolent, piggish face, wide at the chin and pointed on top. The features effeminate, though CoF is really asexual. CoF likes to wear makeup, massive amounts of jewelry and a small diamond tiara. It speaks in an affected high-pitched tone. It also smells like bad cheese, and is rarely seen by the general public.
