Nyx Assassin Lore & Background Story
Nyx Assassin serves the goddess Nyx, executing her enemies with fanatical devotion. His carapace reflects damage back upon attackers — striking him is as dangerous as being struck. He emerges from the earth to deliver a single devastating blow, then vanishes back into the goddess's embrace. His devotion to an insect deity mirrors that of Broodmother, who serves a spider goddess with equal fervor — both are arthropod zealots who kill not for themselves but for the dark gods of the underworld.
