Oracle

Oracles are a powerful caste of Drowned who serve as magical support for their armies. Oracles are considered to be the most intelligent and cruel of all the Drowned castes, even the apparent leader caste, the Heirophants.

Description
Oracles are easily identifiable on the battlefield by their incredible size. Hugely and grotesquely fat, they require hordes of Thralls to carry them from place to place. Nobody is sure how they get so large, since Drowned do not appear to require food to survive. Like all Drowned, Oracles have pale blue skin and long, matted black hair, and drip seawater constantly wherever they go.

Abilities
Oracles are powerful wizards, and can use their abilities to bring forth enormous waves of seawater to drown enemy soldiers. While this power makes them a formidable foe, they are immobile and extremely vulnerable to being killed without their Thrall attendants.

The most disturbing and potent ability of the Oracle is haruspicy. By opening their own bellies with a large knife and reading their intestines, Oracles are able to predict future events. They often use this power to predict enemy movements and optimal invasion times. After performing the act, the Oracle stuffs its guts back inside and a Thrall sews it back up. This creates a distended appearance to their stomachs, which makes the already horrific creatures even more grotesque to behold on the battlefield.
