"If you are going to do this to me then I'll tell you I chose the destiny I did! Your Light WANTED ME DEAD! WANTED ME GONE! I HAD NO CHOICE! THE DARKNESS WAS OUR SPECIES'S SAVIOR!"
— Zukrox, the Wish of Savathûn

Zukrox, the Wish of Savathûn is a powerful Ahamkara that has been "reshaped" by the Hive and Taken. She is the younger sister of Riven, and the brother of Madadh. She is much unlike the rest of her species, preferring to use physical combat rather then using cunning and trickery against her opponents. She is one of the only creatures that can use Sphere Magic, a very strong but dangerous type of magic.

Unlike her sister, she rarely shapeshifted into other forms. She (much like other Ahamkara) is dragonic in nature, with large lizard like bodies and huge wings that opened up along her back. She has 4 legs, two towards her head and two towards her tail. Her scales where a dark black with her horns a bright silver before she was transformed. Her snake-like eyes where thin and yellow.

After being "reshaped" by elements of The Darkness, her body had a chitin exoskeleton, with her claws and spikes on her back turn into dark-white chitin as well.

History

Zukrox's egg layed dormant for many years after Riven was given to Mara Sov and trapped in the Dreaming City until it finally hatched. Much like Riven, Zukrox was very small as a hatchling but grew at a slower rate then her sister. During the War for the Fang Moon, Zukrox was held by the wizard that lead the invasion, Khendiss, World Corruptor. Khendiss did many experiments with her, ultimately Taking her scales leaving spots of Taken blight all over her body. During the same time, Savathûn herself placed a Worm inside her and adding her as a major captain of her army.

During one experiment though, Khendiss sent Zukrox into the Grey Void where she looked at the Darkness in its physical form. The Darkness teleported Khendiss to him and erased her from the Universe for claiming she was Zukrox's master.

In the Grey Void, Zukrox meet Riven and the two talked to each other. However after the death of Riven by 6 Guardians in a Raid on the Dreaming City, Zukrox went into a fit of rage claiming that she didn't die in vain.

The Cult of Ktholp'xa

Zukrox is worshipped by the Cult of Ktholp'xa on the Earth. The Cult of Ktholp'xa formed after the destruction of SIVA when Guardians of the Shadows of Yor had visions of Zukrox and the Grey Void. The resulting visions gave rise to a new group after the Guardians with said visions left the Shadows of Yor. The Cult is extremely small with about 50 members although they are religiously loyal to Zukrox. The Cult of Ktholp'xa is mainly comprised of Hunters and Warlocks.

The Obhadr-zhah

The Obhadr-Zhah are the spawn and children of Zukrox born from the by-products of the Spheres in the Grey Void. They are relatively small compared to Zukrox and Riven, standing at only 5 meters tall. Their body is very Worm-like, with its "head" covered in small 1 meter long tentacles. Along their body are hundreds of small eyes with small mouths spaced across as well. Unlike their mother, they can't speak at all and instead communicate with horrid stretches that will cause anyone that hears them to have their ears start to bleed. Only Zukrox can understand their cries of madness.
