Corrupter - Overview

‘There he was, dead at heart but his soul was very much alive. In fear we fired all we had at the creature but it still stood tall. In a tremendous roar, twisted spine and piercing heart I stumbled away as the army was erased from the world in which they once occupied.'

Some say that seeing a corrupter is like seeing death itself although there has only been a few people which have seen them and lived to tell the story. The corrupter was created by the Soul Eaters through a sacrificial ritual where a dark soul is placed in a body of a dead body, because of this it's flesh is constantly rotting. The dark soul which the Soul Eaters place within the body is extremely powerful compared to the body's original soul which applies a massive force upon the body, this is what causes the bones to come through the flesh.

The Corrupter's weapon is a bow much like the one which the hood uses, although it uses a much different arrow which is a completely metal giant pin, also each arrow is coated in a disease to cause more damage after the hit causing the damage which this bow hits of to be much more the the Hoods bow. Despite this high damage the arrow is heavy and so has a much shorter range and it is also slower when going through the air, also each shot takes longer to fire off due to the Corrupter's slowness. Also the weapon has a sharp blade on the end which can be used to hit a bit of damage if someone attacks at melee. In game the Corrupter is really slow but he makes up for this as he has high health meaning he is hard to kill. The player can use disease to cause damage in aoe around the Corrupter which can add to the damage the player is hitting with his heavy bow.
