Play With This Too

Bloodbath is a fictional character created by Play With This Too as part of their Lost Protectors series. He is an homage to Generation 1 Bomb-Burst/Blood.

Development

The character of Bloodbath was first hinted at in artwork for Desolataur, where he was referred to as "other creature".

In June 2015 Play With This Too announced they would be doing another Kickstarter. Bloodbath would not be among the figures offered in this Kickstarter, and it was being reworked to offer more articulation.[2]

Fictional biography

The would-be usurper of King Coldfang, the creature known as Bloodbath is forever on the run. The vampires cosmic and their lesser vampire descendants now stalk him across the galaxy in retribution tor multiple crimes against his King. His powers of mind control allow him to infiltrate transport ships and feed upon their crews as he wanders from world to world. In his exile, Bloodbath has turned to Desolataurs service In the hopes of gaining supremacy over the vampire covens, and act that has only further enraged his former master.

According to the biography for Skull-F, bhen Bloodbath first sought aid from the shadowy realm known as the Null Miasma, he first sought an ally he could control, a mid-level demon of war and savagery. Thanks to Goldminer's interference, the demon's very essence was inverted, and what was pulled through was a lovable, well-meaning creature rather than a slathering engine of destruction.
