Vahzilok themed MM

[Papaschtroumpf]

I'm thinking about making a Vahzilock themed MM. I had a few MMs back in the day (demons/? and robots/FF I think) and while not a huge fan in the AT they add variety to the game.

 

I almost "have to" go zombies for my Eidolon MM. The Eidolonsin CoH are either dark blast, dark Miasma it radiation blast I believe.

 

Zombie/Dark is likely the best thematic fit as well as an OK synergy of the primary and secondary.

 

Any other combos that would fit the theme?

 

Any advice on zombie/dark?

hmm.  necro/dark,  necro/rad, necro/poison maybe.  I would lean towards /rad myself.  Maaaaybe Thugs acting as your Eidolons, if you push your imagination.  you might also do some color custimaztion experiments in the character creator. so see what bloody red/blues you can come up with.  Some times the visuals trump the skillset itself if you RP.

 

cool theme for sure!!  https://cityofheroes.fandom.com/wiki/Vahzilok

 

 

Vahzilok official info ( Copied from the City of Heroes official website [1]):

 

The sickening snick, snick, snick of a sharpening blade, the slick wet sounds of blood, and the heartrending cries of innocent victims can often be heard drifting from the back alleys, sewers, and darkened parks of Paragon City as the Vahzilok go about their deranged work. Guided by the depraved Dr. Vahzilok, this villainous group defiles the very laws of nature with their never ceasing desire for human flesh.

 

The foot soldiers of this fetid force are the Cadavers, zombie-like animated flesh made from stitched together human corpses and robotic parts. Built from the remains of fallen heroes, the unthinking Abominations are much stronger and more resilient than the Cadavers. These mindless minions act as dispensable guards for Dr. Vahzilok's many research laboratories and hideouts. Certainly, few things are more chilling than coming face to face with stumbling zombies vomiting toxic bile - deadly modern day revenants that have no soul, no mind, no goal other than to kill and kill yet again.

 

Wielding blood stained bone saws and rusty crossbows, Reapers and Mortificators are the only truly living of Vahzilok's minions, willing assistants trained in the surgical arts of amputation and organ removal. Seeking raw materials for Dr. Vahzilok's experiments, these savage mortals can be found wherever there might be bodies to scavenge.

 

The pinnacle of Dr. Vahzilok's retinue is the Eidolon, an animated corpse that has been "perfected" according to the mad doctor. Given only the prime hero body parts and best medical treatments, these creatures are much more than simple zombies. Walking the line between living and dead, not all of these powerful beings are fully “resurrected”. In fact, for some, becoming an Eidolon was a voluntary decision.

 

So close in appearance to the living, Eidolons are sometimes able to pass as human. However, made up of multiple body parts, these creatures are ever changing amalgams, devoid of any hint of their original identity. While these are the most evolved of Vahzilok's creatures, often gaining minor super powers from their hero components, Eidolons require intensive upkeep including regular replacements for their constantly decaying skin and organs.

I can get pretty darn close in the costume creator.

I would go with a Luminous Eidolon rad corruptor but I have too many corruptors as it is. The zombie illusion dirt of falls apart after the T1 pets but that's alright.

I have several /rad characters (altitis anyone?) and jusy deleted a /dark to I think I'll stick with /dark. We'll see. I'm not shy about rerolling character, even if they are in their 30s.

 

Only a handful of them capture my attention enough to warrant fully funded (100s of millions) builds. We'll see if this turns out to be one of them. This will officially be my first villain although a couple of my corruptors have been flipping back and forth.

Cool o hope it works out.  If you read reddit there is a city of heroes costume subreddit where you can post a picture
