Existing only in the deepest recess of the twisted plane exist Phynasm, the Hungering Horror. Phynasm, for thousand of years organized the rise and fall of civilization only to feed it everlasting bottomless hunger. It strategy is simple, it will contact and find potential minions, grant them vast power and riches and have them create or elevate a civilization to greatness. Then Phynasm, safe in the twisted plane simply move in the heart of said civilization, feeding of the lifeforce of it denizen until the drain cause the civilization to falter and eventually collapse. Despite this insidious strategy, Phynasm is not actively malevolent, it will fulfill any promise it make and honor pacts, if the mind contacting it can manage it presence. After Phynasm is done with a civilization it will typically go into hibernation, not wishing to exhaust the mortal it feed on.
If Phynasm is 'killed' it essence will scatter and reform in countless eon. A cosmically short time, but more than enough to secure any civilizations for the duration of their existence and well beyound.
Physnasm's body is of a dull gray color, possessing a vaguely female humanoid torso with monstrous arms and legs. It bald faceless head is bulbous and tumorous, with countless extremely long tentacles extending from where it mouth should be. Counting is very long limbs compared to it torso, Phynasm is about 150 meters tall, it is essentially weightless however as it does not obey the laws of physic. Phynasm is especially harmful to the mortal mind as it body obey no known geometry

On the warped plane the aura is stronger, at 50% miss chance and below any creatures within the aura also lose a single hit point every round and all healing (including fast healing and regeneration, are halved). At 25% miss chance and below, creatures within the aura lose 10% of their maximum health every round. Both are in the addition the aura's normal effect. At 0% miss chance creature no longer suffer from the aura, being so close has an 'eye of the storm' effect.
