Nosophobe

The Shadowed are a faction of the Outer Darkness, a dimension rife with unholy, dark aberrations. The Anax leads these creatures after he takes away their free will, minds, and souls. They are mostly found in the vibratory dimension of the Outer Darkness known as the Shadowlands, the lowest frequency of existence itself. In most cases, the victims (either corporeal or incorporeal) become twisted, evil versions of their old selves, retaining whatever knowledge they once held. However, in cases of phobia, the afflicted become mockeries of their intense fears. Thus, turning their fears into a strength and perverse joy.

Nosophobes are shadowed, who irrationally feared illnesses in life. When faced with the Anax or one of his minions, the victim was forced to watch themselves become infected with debilitating and horrific infectious diseases, until their minds broke and they exchanged their souls for peace. Like all shadowed, they have sharp, glowing claws and swarm with black ink-like shadows on their bodies. However, nosophobes also have the ability to spread a shadow disease to their victims. They can spew noxious clouds, and the infected mortals will eventually die and become nosophobes as well.
