Clot by

## Clot

---

*"Although extremely weak on their own, their real strength comes in numbers."*

*- Amalthalda, Paladin of Pelor, enemy of the undead.*

The alchemists at Horzine Industries created many specimens in their pursuit of magical and chemical "super soldiers". The clot is the most basic, and thought to be the original experiment.

Driven by nothing more than violence and perceived hunger, one clot by itself is little more than an inconvenience. The clots true strength comes in numbers, and its habit of grabbing and biting its prey serves to delay them until a bigger threat can arrive to land a killing blow.

The termination of a clot, or indeed any of Horzine's specimens, can temporarily activate a burst of adrenaline that momentarily grants them speed beyond the norm. This usually presents itself as a rapid attempt to dispatch the clot or other enemies, or a quick sprint to try and escape its grasp. Onlookers and researchers have taken to calling this phenomena "ZED time".
