Gloom

The Gloom is an enemy in Marrow.

Description
Glooms only exist within the Malignancy. They cannot be killed and are ordinarily dormant and harmless unless the player activates one of the search orbs, after which they will slowly move towards the player until they either leave the level or find an Emissary. They are very dangerous and will kill Daniel within a few hits.

Lore
"...it was as if a fleshy maelstrom had passed through the region. Gone were the rocks, the trees, the grass, replaced with this hulking mass of veins and polyps, even bones. The tower, once a prison for those inflicted with the red sickness was crumpled, kept up only by the entanglements of the cancerous growths surrounding it. The members of the envoy attempted to ignore the horrific implications the shapes and smells of the malignance would suggest, that this maze of fleshy caves bore a haunting resemblance to the internals of the human body, but soon they were overwhelmed with terror and began to flee, no longer concerned with confronting the lost Seer. Members of the envoy would later speak of catching glimpses of senseless forms inside the caves. Large masses of grey bulbs, half visible, floating perfectly still, suspended by nothing, with the grotesque suggestion of a face staring back at them." (c)official lore
