Great Unclean One
The Great Unclean One is the Greater Daemon of Nurgle. The Great Unclean One is a towering, giant mass of putrid, rotting, diseased flesh, covered in boils and infected sores and bloated with pus, blood and other fluids.His gut is a great torn maw where intestines and other innards hang loose and broken bones seep bone marrow into the rest of his body and onto the ground, Nurglings cavort in this orifice and make their homes in the Great Unclean One's stinking flesh, along with other creatures such as worms and maggots. The Great Unclean One has a pair of huge antlers protruding from the top of his head and a huge swarm of flies and mosquitoes surrounds the him wherever he goes and viciously attacks his enemies. The Great Unclean One is a master of disease and spreads pestilence wherever he goes; often his diseases will infect his enemies far in front of him so that by the time he arrives the enemy will be so weak with despair and the burden of their dead that they will willingly surrender to the will of Nurgle as a way to escape further suffering.
Great Unclean Ones sometimes carry a huge rusted sword called a "Plague Blade" which is covered in contagions and infected fluids. Even if a warrior should survive a wound from the Plague Blade, it is likely they will succumb to the diseases they would surely contract from contact with the weapon and Great Unclean One.
If Nurgle can be described as having a kindly, almost grandfatherly tolerance for his fetid creations, then the
Great Unclean One might be described as the father figure for his disease-ridden legions. It is with a twisted form of paternal pride that the Great Unclean Ones look upon the infectious works of the Lesser Daemons of Nurgle.
