Core spawn

Core spawn are horrific, insect-like abberations that reside in the Miskath Pit of Blightshore.

History
Core spawn are a subterranean breed of servants and soldiers of the Elder Evils, awakened during the calamity by the Betrayer Gods. These creatures often appear on the surface of Exandria following seismic events; one known instance is in the formation of the Miskath Pit sinkhole.
