A plain Poison attacker: the basic and Hungering Plague put 5% Poisons on one target at 40 to 50% odds, and Rot From Within deals 25% more damage to anyone already Poisoned. That's the whole kit.

Yaga the Insatiable is as relentless as the plague that oozes from his blighted body. His hunger is for rot and ruin and it can never be sated, ever since a scheming Demonspawn exploited Yaga's formerly kind and selfless nature during some of the darkest days of the Skinwalker people.

In the Age of Treachery, the Sacred Order stoked the fires of hate against Skinwalkers and the Red Crusade erupted and spread like a virus across the world. Across Anhelt. Skinwalkers were killed or exiled enmasse, along with foreigners, sympathizers, and many other kinds of non-Humans in general. Yaga and his found family of Skinwalker outcasts escaped, thanks to the maritime smugglers of the Lost Isles, who deposited them on the shores of the inhospitable, haunted Stormwind Wastes. Cut off from essential medicines and supplies, malnutrition and disease wracked the group as they tried to make their way north toward the Sorrowlakes, where they had heard that other refugees were gathering. Yaga, a herbalist by trade, did everything he could to alleviate their suffering and treat their symptoms, but had little to work with amid the desolate badlands of the Wastes. In his moments of greatest despair, Yaga cursed the world for its cruel indifference, swearing that no one in all the universe cared for their plight, not even a Demon. But he was in the accursed land of Stormwind, and if he wished even ironically to have a Demon come to aid him, he should not have done so lightly.

One dark night, Yaga was weak from overexertion and most of his comrades lay stricken in their sickbeds. He felt death closing in on them all. It was then a noxious swarm of carrion flies descended before Yaga and gathered into an insect-humanoid form, its voice raspy and oozing. It was Vildrax, the arch-fiend Demonspawn called the Duke of Flies. Vildrax told Yaga that, just as the maggot will eat gangrenous flesh and leave healthy tissue behind, he could provide a similarly apparently disgusting, but effective, remedy. If Yaga swore allegiance to him, he would grant the tribe his restorative symbiotes, but each of those cured would in turn owe fealty to the Duke. To give his people a chance, any at all, Yaga agreed. Vildrax spread a reeking slime upon Yaga's brow, and anointed his fingers with it, and bade him do the same to his fevered, delirious patients. This Yaga did, and then he too collapsed, wracked by the effects of the Demonspawn's twisted cure.

After long writhing hours of struggle, the Skinwalkers all awoke in the dawnlight, one by one, their fevers broken, Vildrax gone. Within a day they felt healthy, even strong. Yaga counted it a miracle. On the second day, Yaga and his tribe felt manic, invincible. Something rippled and wriggled under each of the Skinwalkers' skin, but they paid it no mind. On the third day, Yaga's and the bodies of his former friends were fully ripened by the horrid spawn of Vildrax, into breeding grounds for his brood of unholy insects. Their minds and senses dulled to the horror of their new affliction by the Duke's curse, they vaguely recalled their goal of finding a new home.

Like a droning insect drawn by the pheromones of its kind, Yaga and his tribe marched into a portal to Anathraad. Ever since, they have emerged in Teleria at Vildrax's beck and call, heralded by clouds of flies and leaving behind rot and infestation. Yaga and his fellow Skinwalkers have never forgotten their initial desire to reach the Sorrowlakes, and may yet unleash themselves upon that luckless region...

Yaga the Insatiable can be summoned from Ancient Shard as a Epic champion.
