The Dark Young are the sons of Shub-Niggurath, the Mother of All, consort of the Not-a-Be-Named-One. They are creatures of Chaos and destruction, indifferent to the world and its inhabitants. It requires the strongest seers and psychics to summon and control one of these monsters. Many have died in the attempt of this madness, leaving the beast to roam free in a path of chaos. The lives lost to bring down one are a considerable number, and every time this has happened, all traces of his knowledge have been carefully erased from our history.
The Spawn of Shub-Niggurath is a close combat beast that will surprise your opponent with its speed. Psychic Vortex is a free action and its damage ignores both Line of Sight and Cover,
great for dealing with infantry. Make sure you use your Spawn wisely before it goes down bearing in mind that it also affects friendly units. Simply put, they can destroy any ground target easily.
