Drought Manifestation

CanonOfficial lore from the booksDoTp. 183-184

The Drought Manifestation is born when a concept is drawn out of the Void and called into physical existence. It has a single nature and holds nothing beyond it. Like all manifestations, it is one of the lesser Voidborn, unable to rise above the concept it embodies, and it takes shape according to the power of the one who summons it.1

From the moment of its birth it drinks up every trace of moisture and water around it with an unquenchable thirst. Within a mile of it all plants wither, water sources disappear, and animals die quickly of an overwhelming thirst. Even if it drained a lake and drank the blood of an entire village it could not be satisfied, for satisfaction does not exist in its nature. It therefore appears as a colossal being with a bloated stomach and the rest of its body parched dry.1

The manifestation speaks the Dark Tongue.2
