#nemesis Maggoth is a nemesis from The New Age.

The New Age mat lore: "Many years ago, while still underground, the breach mages of Gravehold battled the hordes of a creature they called Carapace Queen. This insectoid Nameless towered over breach mages and Gravehold alike. It attacked with swarms of husks, seeking always to overwhelm its foes. The mages managed to destroy the Queen, buying time for the people of Gravehold to flee. However, in their haste to keep moving, the mages were not as thorough as usual. One of its creatures, a Broodwomb, survived that final battle. It tunneled its way to the surface, eating carrion and regaining its strength. It was in no shape to fight back when Arachnos and his followers found it, giving them the rare opportunity to capture and study a live creature from the Void. Arachnos tested his rituals on it, slowly feeding it energy from his breaches like a nursing babe. He catalogued its growth, watched it grow larger and more powerful. Arachnos' experiments may be considered immoral by the people of New Gravehold, but his notes on the growth of Maggoth could provide deep insights into the nature of Voidborn creatures. After all, Arachnos is the only human in history with the dubious honor of creating a Nameless."
