'''Great Unclean Ones''' are the [[Greater Daemon]]s of [[Nurgle]]. In form they are massive and bloated with disease and decay, and their necrotic and boil-covered flesh is rent, where their organs spill out, hanging across their huge girth. Great Unclean Ones can endure tremendous amounts of damage before being felled. Many opponents cannot stomach to look at a Great Unclean One, let alone fight one.
Great Unclean Ones go into battle with a variety of foul weapons such as [[Bilesword]]s, [[Bileblade]]s, [[Doomsday Bell]]s, and [[Plague Flail]]s.{{Fn|16}}

==Manifestation==
Their appearances on the mortal plane are heralded by disease and desolation on a planetary scale. If an incursion is left unchecked, whole worlds can go dark: their populations reduced by six-sevenths, their feeble leaders filthy and raving, their very cities collapsing around them. Through it all waddles the beaming, bile-slicked plague-father, bestowing his blessings, borne along on a living tide of chortling, chattering Nurglings. Great Unclean Ones are beings of decay and entropy made manifest, and before them the works of man are but castles made of sand, perched on the edge of a storm-wracked sea.{{Fn|3}}
