Great Unclean Ones typically take the form of gargantuan, immensely fat humanoids, hot intestines dribbling out of huge tears in their enormous bellies. Their horrific girth is supported by two impossibly small and atrophied-looking legs, their swollen heads are crowned by enormous stag-like antlers. Their suppurating, sore-covered bodies are host to every disease ever catalogued by man or daemon, and their stench can be detected from miles away.{{Cite Marker EndFn|1}}
In combat, Great Unclean Ones wield enormous blades and maces of iron, crude, corroded cleavers and immense plague flails — each one dripping with pestilence.{{Fn|3}} Frequently they carry a blade known as a [[Plague Sword]] - these massive, rusted blades are said to be dipped in the foul pus and contagion at the base of Nurgle's throne.{{Fn|2}}
