What are your plans for khorne if you won the great game? You seem fond of him, after all.

Doodle of Khorne and Nurgle. Nurgle still has moments of favor for his big brother, but the best Khorne can manage is tolerance and ambivalence. Towards the beginning of their lives, the VERY beginning in Nurgle's case, both gods united in order to serve a big fat "FUCK YOU" to Tzeentch for the sake of survival. Khorne moved on afterwards, Nurgle...took a bit longer to process the fact his first ally and savior wasn't as attached to him as he was to Khorne. Poor Nurgle :{

Also yes, Nurgle is quite a bit taller than Khorne ^^ Wider, too

Nurgle is one of the vanishingly rare individuals whose first interaction with Khorne was actually relatively positive instead of negative. From Khorne's perspective, this was just practical: He was a newly seated Ruinous Power and Nurgle had just been born; Tzeentch hated both for his own reasons and so it only made sense to ally together.

To Khorne, Nurgle was a mostly useful ally of the moment (and eventually would be an enemy). To Nurgle, Khorne was almost heroic, sweeping in and stopping Tzeentch from destroying him before he truly got a chance to be. Suffice to say, Nurgle's feelings were quite hurt when he learned Khorne was, well, the way he was and had no interest in maintaining their alliance after Tzeentch finally fucked off.

His feelings towards Khorne are complicated and ambivalent, colored forever by the fact that the Blood God DID save him when he first gained consciousness. In the event he won the Great Game, I think Nurgle would make a final attempt at an everlasting alliance with Khorne ...and y'know, some "suggestions" and "advice" about Khorne's flawed, simplistic worldview. He does still harbor some brotherly love for the Blood God (albeit quite tangled with resentment that can be stoked depending on what's going on in the game at any given moment) and their domains fit together quite nicely: Death and decay. Nurgle believes coexistence is possible, but only if he is the stronger of the pair of them.

Perfectly happy to let Tzeentch and Slaanesh rot though.

stoned and autistic at a party trying to make conversation: I find the comparative lifespan of organisms so interesting. Spiders are comparatively long lived animals. Female black widows can live up to 3 years but their male counterparts rarely live four months. Some tarantulas live upwards of 20 years. The longest lived spider was around 43 years old when she was cruelly assassinated by a parasitic wasp. Domestic rats have a lifespan comparable to female black widows. To put things into perspective, there are spiders that remember a pre-pandemic world but it is likely every rat on earth was born post-COVID. There could be a spider out there born when Reagan was in office.

When you eventually end your garden will burn in blue flames and from the ashes new life will flourish unbound by the stagnation you impose upon it.

The day, if it ever comes, that you die... how would a god like you wish to be honored?

We mortals honor our dead in all sorts of ways. Buring them in boxes, burning them to ash to toss in their favorite places, buried in pods to feed trees, etc. Have you ever thought of what you wished to be done to you IF you were to die?

"𝗤𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗮 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘁 ��𝗼𝘁?" Nurgle rubs his chin with one of his many tendrils.

I mean... probably. Eventually life does burn out. Loses sources. Things go completely extinct. Maybe it's for the best that no God wins yet? If you win the great game, things might entropy into nothingness till that's it.

When nothing can die or be reborn, there'd be nothing left to believe in you.

What is the worst part about your domain? Not by mortal standards obviously, just something you wish you could change for whatever reason, but can't.

Everything anyone likes has its downsides after all

𝐁𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐀𝐑𝐘: 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐎𝐀𝐃𝐒

Toad Dragons, also called Mire Monsters, Mirelurks and Dragons of Nurgle, are creatures that live on Malleus, residing in the uttermost North in the Cold Mires of the Chaos Wastes. Though their greenish hides and disgusting behavior might suggest so, these are not daemons of Nurgle; they are mortal animals of the world, though whether they are natural or not is another story.

Their origins are a mystery and the individuals of the world interested in such things raise their brows at the moniker of "dragon", given to them by the far less studious Northmen. Instead of those proud, skyborne beasts, the Toad Dragon has more in common with the landbound lumbering beasts of Lustria, in particular the Dread Saurian. Some theorize that in the earliest days of the world, when Chaos first invaded Lustria and the joint forces of Nurgle and Tzeentch fell upon Chaqua, these beasts were the product of the Plaguelord's foul contagions and the Waychanger's warping magic working in terrible tandem upon the war-beasts of Lizardmen. When the city at last fell, Plaguebearers hoarded the blighted beasts into the portals whence the daemons first came and it was from these monsters that the first Toad Dragons were created.

Others say such foul beasts are not from Malleus at all. The Plaguelord collects not just the flora of other worlds for his garden, but on occasion their fauna too. The Toad Dragon is one such collected animal, though it has adapted so much to it's daemonic abode as to be indistinguishable from the proper daemons. Though massive and dangerous to mortals and even greater daemons, compared to the scale of Nurgle's garden, the Toad Dragon is only a mere toad and serves much the same function, eating the many flies and smaller lifeforms within the flora. They offer balance and order to the chaos of Nurgle's realm, as mortal toads do in the mortal world.

In both theories, the evidence given for their lack of proper origin from Nurgle is their temperament. Unlike the Plaguefather's daemons, Toad Dragons are notably foul tempered and destructive.

Deposited as tadpoles in the muck of a swamp, these beasts never stop growing once they hatch. Other lifeforms live within them, apparently unaffected by it's caustic breath and stomach acids. It is believed, much like gut bacteria, that these Toad Worms have a symbiotic relationship with it's host and may even be the reason behind it's caustic spit in the first place. Should a Toad Dragon die, Toad Worms will exit the body through the mouth, nose, and even the eyes. It is believed that these worms go on to be Plague Toads, a much maligned daemon of Nurgle; Plaguetoads are known to exist in a sort-of harmony with the Toad Dragon, so long as it defers to the beasts dominance of course.

Toad Dragons have tusks bearing, petal-like maws. Males, the more common of the species, are larger and use these tusks to battle for dominance and for the attention of the female. Females are rarer and larger; her territory will overlap with several males and she will mate with the one who wins out over his competitors. There is no certain way to tell Toad Dragon sexes apart; one can only be certain once the Dragon as laid it's egg-cluster, in which it will be revealed as female. Bubebolos, the Nurgle-marked Toad Dragon of Tamurkhan the Maggot Lord, was commonly recorded as male, but those who know well the anatomical trends between the sexes posit that the Greatest of All Toad Dragons was very likely a female.

Toad Dragons are not known to die of age and are suspected, even, to be immortal. Bubebolos was not only large, but ancient-- this may suggest that the creatures are Biologically immortal. The Gods do not often pay much attention to simple beasts when sapient races are so much more interesting and practical to work with. However, Nurgle is known for his enduring love of these Putrid Mire Monsters and his champions consider being able to bind one to ones own will to be sure sign of the Plaguelord's feculent favor.

Along with being implicated in the creation of the Plague Toads, some suggest that the Jabberslythe was an attempt by Nurgle's minions to put more 'dragon' into the Plague Dragon by breeding wings onto the beast. Undeniably, the Jabber and the Toad Dragon share several traits to suggest this is true.
