The Swamp Lurker

Bio + Picture---> HERE!



The Lurkers, once a proud species of the Nether, forced to leave their homeworld, have now settled in the Overworld.



It all happened when the Pigmen arrived, they terrorized The Nether, and began preying upon the Lurkers for their rare Nether gems, gems which could only be found on the bottom of the sweltering ocean of lava. As the Lurkers throughout the years had evolved highly fire resistant scales they could swim in the lava like it was but a pool of water. They used these gems for rituals, implanting them in their own flesh. Since the gems holds the power of The Nether itself, they became one with it and it's wildlife. Alas, the Pigmen were too strong, and they didno t stand a chance. The Lurkers became desperate, and a small group of them decided to attempt an escape. They planned to use the portals the Pigmencame through, and take their chances where ever it lead them. They made it through the portal, but with huge loss, over half the group where killed or captured during the run, and the few who made it were severely injured. The Lurkers quickly adapted to their new world and began living in swamps, there they could easily capture prey, drink water or eat the local weeds.

A century has now passed, the folly of the Pigmen have not been forgotten, nor will it be, for The Nether gems engraved into the bodies of the Lurkers still glow red, with hatred.
