Dark Young
Monsters of level 90+ summoned by the super-tier spell [Iä Shub-Niggurath] according to the number of people it kills; in Vol. 9 they trampled the Kingdom's army on the Katze Plains.
- Summoning one is normally a success, and a second is very hard; Ainz summoned 5 with 70,000 deaths (50,000 in the Web novel).
- Summoning process: a jet-black fruit appears in the air, swells, falls, and bursts; black slime covers the corpses, tentacles sprout, and they emerge with adorable goat bleats.
- Shaped like a turnip, about 10 m tall excluding tentacles (about 5 m in the Web novel); countless black tentacles on top, many drooling mouths split open across the mass of flesh, and five goat-hoofed legs below.
- No powerful skills, but outstanding durability.
- Ainz ordered that 4 people not be killed; the rest of the Kingdom's army was trampled at will.
- They act on orders; in the light novels they returned straight to the Empire's camp after Ainz finished his duel with Gazef, and did not kill Marquis Raeven (9-360)
- In the Web novel the summoning has a time limit, and the number is calculated from the total levels of the dead (Web "Massacre-3")
- In the side story [Iä Shub-Niggurath] combined with "The Goal of All Life is Death" instantly killed over 400,000 people, likewise summoning 5
Notes
The anime enlarged them to about 80 m (estimated from the soldiers at their feet). The Web novel's Dark Young have some self-awareness and killed Marquis Raeven, who was commanding the army.
