Eshmok

Eshmoks are proof that anger consumes a creature. Formed from wrathful souls, these demons resemble giant humanoid wasps who have fallen victim to parasitic fungi. The fungi's foul-looking fibrous material is a physical manifestation of wrath. Tendrils of it burst from eshmok bodies, emitting rage-inducing spores, while lattices of nest-like growths from their torsos shelter wasplike infestations.

Wrathful Parasites

The swarms that infest an eshmok aren't its allies, but incarnations of anger that serve to constantly harry and agonize the creature. Some maintain that these wasps are manifestations of Calistria's vengeance, but her faithful believe something closer to the truth—that these wasps represent a mockery of vengeance and a corruption of the directed rage their goddess teaches and epitomizes. Eshmoks are particularly reviled by worshipers of Calistria as a result.
