A tongue within a tongue; gives new meaning to the word "Taste Testing".

Great Unclean Ones are the Greater Daemons of Nurgle, and the third most disgusting things to inhabit the Warp (Nurgle is second; Abaddon holds the top spot). Great Unclean Ones are bloated, disgusting things that are half decayed to the point that they can barely move. They are masters of germ warfare, creating horrific plagues that can decimate whole worlds in days. Despite this, Great Unclean Ones are jovial, happy beings who see themselves as spreading the gifts of Father Nurgle to the people of galaxy. Great Unclean Ones are created in the image of Nurgle himself, and are often seen as extensions of his personality.

Fun fact: They're apparently the only daemons that show examples of reproduction in the fluff, as nurglings sprout from them from time to time (given that Ku'Gath was once a nurgling that grew up into a Great Unclean One, that counts). Maybe it's because Grandpa Nurgle is also a god of rebirth and life. Apparently, they're capable of breeding with humans too, given that one of the newest Warhammer Fantasy Nurgle characters Orghotts Daemonspew had a Great Unclean One for a father and a human for a mother. Have fun imagining how that worked.

Known Great Unclean Ones

  • Botchulaz: He claimed to have fought the Emperor during the Great Crusade. After the Horus Heresy he was imprisoned on Aerius by the Eldar, with the key to opening his temple being broken into three pieces by the Space Wolves, the Imperial Guard, the Inquisition. Later unleashed a horrific plague on the planet to free himself, but was stopped by Ragnar Blackmane.
  • Ku'Gath: Formerly a Nurgling, he mutated into a GUO after drinking down Nurgle's entire cauldron of super-sekrit super-virus. Nurgle didn't really mind that he lost all of the super-virus, but Ku'Gath felt bad, so now he invades the Materium hoping to recreate toxic miracle that made him. This guilt has also left Ku'Gath very sombre and serious (not unlike Mortarion, really), whereas most GUOs are jovial and happy
  • Ulkair: A Great Unclean One who was imprisoned on Aurelia by Azariah Kyras. Ulkair is the main antagonist of Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising.
  • Chris-Chan: Though he isn't one yet, Chris-Chan will inevitably be bloated into a Great Unclean One upon death. His house is a massive mess that has damned every soul that ventures in to rot in Nurgle's domain. Despite even trolls trying to give him advice he refuses to even try to change himself for the better.
