He'll give you martial might beyond compare and a will to dominate that knows no bounds, which translates into frothing berserker strength. But some people, they hold a special grudge against who the Rot Fly swallows them whole, trapping them inside its worm-riddled, stinking, pustulent guts forever. They digest these skulls inside their foetid bellies and then spit them as projectiles. They favor going for the heads of their enemies either snipping them off with giant mandibles or using a disgusting proboscis to suck their victim's head so hard they slurp out the entire spine in one gulp. What hatches is a monstrous, plague-ridden, slime-dripping fly-daemon that is now actively malicious and cruel. And that resentment just builds and festers until the Beast spins a cocoon and pupates. Sometimes, a Beast of Nurgle starts resenting that all its human playmates either won't play or actually chase it back to the Warp. As if this wasn't bad enough, they have no concept of death - once they kill, they are momentarily disappointed by the fact their new playmate has gone still, then ooze over to another foe to make a new friend. But these things are not insane, dribbling wrecks - they have the minds of cute, playful puppies, who only wish to give the enemy bone-crushing hugs and slobber all over them. Beasts of Nurgle are abhorrent, sluglike creatures dripping with toxic ooze, spurting dangerous gases from chimneys on their back and dribbling acidic spittle.Scariest of all (both in tabletop and in fiction), they are Determinators - they'll never stop coming at you until you're either a festering mass of plague or dead. Take the best qualities of the Space Marines, combine them with 28 Days Later style zombies, and you'll have something akin to a Death Guard trooper. It's slightly salved by the Fanon that they love each other. And she uses her position to whisper cures to Nurgle's diseases to mankind. He was able to do so while Slaanesh was busy slaughtering the rest of the Eldar pantheon. At least Nurgle was rescuing her, which is saying something.But since she can cure any of Nurgle's creations, that means she cannot die, so the experiments will never stop. And she's still better off than with her previous "suitor," Slaanesh, about whom see below. Who Nurgle is trying to convince to marry him. The only being able to cure Nurgle's creations, Isha, the Eldar goddess of life.Oh, and said garden may include one very special favored guest, who Nurgle force-feeds all his creations to just to see how powerful and harmful they are. It also contaminates the soul as well as the body, each person killed by the Rot creating another Plaguebearer in Nurgle's "garden", the more they resist death merely resulting in a more powerful Plaguebearer. Nurgle's Rot, perhaps the most gruesome of the nightmarish Chaos powers, infects almost all of his followers and can be transferred with a single touch, inflicting the poor victim with a concoction perfected by Nurgle himself to cause the most agony while still keeping them from death, many pledging themselves to Nurgle just to end their suffering.Sure, the specifics of the methods to that result may be different, but still, Nurgle tampers with your mind and transforms you into a mindless zombie drone worshipping diseases. It is similar in some ways to 1984, where all citizens get to be brainwashed by the oppressive Party and end up worshiping the very organization that has made their lives miserable.Other servants of Chaos are intensely suffering or blindingly insane or "merely" a mindless spawn, but Nurgle followers genuinely enjoy being followed by clouds of plague flies and having their organs dragging on the ground, and nothing would please them more than giving you a biiiiig hug so you can enjoy it too. But Papa Nurgle loves you, so it's all fine. It just so happens he shares his love by infecting you with so much disease you end up a bloated rotting zombie-like thing which is in so much pain that it can't feel any other pain. And he'd probably be jolly good grampy to you, if you'd just join up. Nurgle loves his followers, he really does.This is the goal which Necrons (at least pre-retcon) want to accomplish. Living beings cannot help but feel things, and so we will never truly be rid of them, so one of the few ways to ultimately defeate them is to kill every single living being in the galaxy. And the most horrifying thing is that they exist by feeding on the emotions of living beings.
