There are a number of really weird things with old D&D lore.
“Wouldn’t it be cool if…”
"Some incredibly unhinged shit..."
No this was the lore.
Hell one of 3.5 edition's strongest monsters, from the the published books, was the undead, aborted, fetus, that was the product of the rape of another god, or celestial/hell/abyssal creature, by a god of opposing alignment, like an angel raped by an evil god.
They were just keeping with the strong tradition established by the Greeks and Romans of gods that rape everyone and everything.
Are you talking about Atropus? Or some other unborn God?
They are called atropals but are not kin to Atropus. Atropus is an actual god and is the size of a moon. Atropals are abominations and large size category, they also lack divine rank.
Oh wow. I knew about them but I guess the FR wiki excised all the gross lore.
Maybe I won't put those in my game. I was considering it because they seemed similar to Atropus, who is my ultimate big bad.
