Heartworm

The insides of Kuldra are filled with more than just flesh. She has gorged herself on anima and her blood contains the last remnants of a fallen goddess. Kuldra herself is close to divinity, held back by dragonkin safeguards that prevent her from achieving her full potential. Yet, that power must flow somewhere and within her flesh crawl the vile heartworms: warped parasites empowered by this excess of magic. These strange creatures are filled with Kuldra’s rage and hatred, and will happily obliterate anything they encounter that isn’t the queen’s anima-infused flesh.
