Well That Explains Why I Didn't Recognise Any Of The Creatures From The Current Season. Call Of Cthulhu

well that explains why i didn't recognise any of the creatures from the current season. Call of Cthulhu Dark Ages... how i didn't think of it sooner...

for lore fans, the scenario and creature encounter in this episode are from the Call of Cthulu Dark Ages game book, screenshots courtesy of @croik

screenshot of text, reading: To the People, Horig is tripartite: it is vengeance, disease, and wrath. It is a god to be appeased so that it might bestow more power on its worshippers. The People appease Horig by luring the unwary into the Eseweald and lashing them to trees so that Horig can feed at his leisure. A favorite trick is to slip soporific herbs into stews they feed to hungry travelers.
The people also work in concert with the pucel (page 174), appearing to "save" travelers from the creatures only to turn around and deliver the victims to Horig themselves
Over the centuries, various people have fallen prey to Horig's songs and joined its worship. The extended families of the People are frequently comprised of different cultures, so the cosmopolitan composition of each family might strike some travelers as aodd. The people have no different statistics from other denizens of the Severn Valley.

screenshot of text reading: Horig (Unique Being)
Horig lies below an ancient forest, called the Eseweald, along the Severn River. It fell to Earth millennia ago and took root; the forest and the very earth upon which the trees of the Eseweald stand is an extension of Horig. The ancient monstrosity can move the trees, rocks, and streams within the Eseweald at will, creating a baffling maze that slowly leads victims to a grove containing a mushroom ring and a bubbling spring-- Horig's clearing at the forest's center. Horig is buried several hundred feet below the central mushroom ring. If someone were to ever dig Horig up, all they would find is a strange stone, no larger than a man's head, which continually oozes black pus.

their odor must make a POW roll: if successful, nothing happens; if failed, the victim is driven into a frenzied dance around the mushroom ring. While dancing, the investigator must make a Hard CON roll: if successful, he or she snaps out of the dance; if failed, the victim collapses unconscious within the ring and also becomes a carrier for Horig's virulent plague
