Physical description

A bloodhulk begins as an evil, fanatical, shamanistic human or similar creature whom others had come to worship as a god, and have many sacrifices made to it. When this creature dies, the gallons of blood from those sacrificed to it begin to run in its veins, and it arises as an oozing, hulking, misshapen abomination.

Bloodhulks have little resemblance with humans. So full of blood has their muscles, skin, sinew and such become, however, that they look nothing short of mutated, and their identity is completely lost. Their veins bulge through their thick, red, rippling skin, struggling to pump blood to their gargantuan upper masses. Their heads are incredibly disproportionate to the rest of their body, being shriveled and wizened and tiny at the top of their massive torsos[original research?].

Society

Most Bloodhulks cannot speak. The few that can speak Undercommon[citation needed].

They are neutral evil in alignment[vague].
