Eldritchtouch

Eldritchtouch is a condition introduced in Season 2 of Roll Initiative Wrestling, causing certain wrestlers of the show to transmute into horrifying, eldritch abominations, hellbent on complete destruction of the opposition.

History
The history of eldritchtouch is unknown, even to the most devout of magicians, scholars, and adventurers alike. Its origin is unknown, but it somehow made its way onto Roll Initiative Wrestling. Affliction began during the preseason, right before the show would officially kick off, and reached its peak during the Royal Rumble match for Undying Championship Belt.

Soon, it began to fade away. But for how long?

Outside of RIW, being eldritchtouched is simply a glitch side-effect of manipulating the game's data. In WWE 2k20, when female wrestlers are converted into male wrestlers via a software and are placed into a match, the game cannot fully register and implement the female proportions and outfits into the male ones, leading to horrifying results.

Symptoms & Effects
Eldritchtouch seems to be more common among female wrestlers in RIW, especially to those in Eldritch Blast and nearby the Undying Championship Belt. The symptoms and effects are only hidden before a match, as it takes time to develop and gestate before combat.

During the match, wrestlers' bodies morph and shape themselves into monstrous beings. They are still considered as humanoids to an extent, even if they may not look like it. Certain features of the wrestler remain present, but the anatomy shifts drastically. Certain body parts vanish from sight, but levitate close to the main body; those with extremely long hair have it shoot and spin out of control as tendrils reaching out to grab a hold of something; their mental state deteriorates into this primal sense of "hunt, kill, and destroy" as eldritchtouched wrestlers seek to take down anything that stands in their way, removing all sense of cognition and self-awareness, their only method of communication being guttural noises and screeches of fury. These effects, however, do not grant afflicted wrestlers any extra benefits, making them fight as if they were still recognizably humanoid.

After a match, whether victory or defeat, the wrestlers return to their normal state with very little recollection of what had just happened. While they seem to be cured after a match, it is unsure whether it could make some sort of resurgence, even away from the presence of the Undying Belt.
