Zhulodok, Void Gorger, was an Eldrazi of Ulamog’s lineage.

History

Zhulodok appeared at the head of Ulamog's brood as the Hedron Network weakened. It began its life as merely a reflection of the great power of Ulamog. Millennia after the three Eldrazi Titans were sealed away on Zendikar, the first signs of their escape emerged. In Akoum, a sickness began to infect the minds of the people who called the jagged mountain ranges home. These cultists performed sacrificial rituals in worship of the mountains, not knowing that the Titan Ulamog had tricked them into weakening the prison that bound them. A small fraction of their power was able to emerge which let loose a swarm of Eldrazi drones. Zhulodok was among the first wave to awaken and its name was whispered first into the minds of desperate cultists and later screamed from the mouths of panicked victims.

Zhulodok razed the land and siphoned mana to fuel the eventual return of the three Titans. It marched across the land seeking anything to satiate its hunger. During its reign of terror, its followers would give it a name to be feared for generations. Mountains were crushed in its wake, splintered and carved out by Zhulodok and the monstrous forces at its back. It is said that a single night of feeding carved out the shape of the Windblast Gorge, once a towering range of mountains. Zhulodok's presence was said to inspire hunger and a thirst that could never be quenched, driving its enemies to consume each other ahead of the advance. This caused a famine so powerful that it even affected Ulamog's followers, though they understood this hunger as his gift, and followed it willingly. By following the path of carnage, the cultists who helped free the Eldrazi saw firsthand the power of consumption, and how to turn flesh and blood into power. They became the first vampires of Zendikar. Even after Nahiri slew Zhulodok and sealed the Eldrazi in their hedronic prison again, the vampires would whisper the name of Ulamog's prophet for millennia to come as a curse against Zendikar itself.
