Vore (Qtest)

In Qtest, a completely different model for the Vore called Shalrath can be found in the .pak files. The only relation it has with the final Vore's model is that they have similar heads. This name is also used for the .mdl files in the final game. The model has complete animations, but it lacks its textures.

While the player can summon it using various programs, trying to load this Monster in the game will result in the level immediately crashing upon trying to load the level. It may also fail to load in the first place. The Shalrath is the most incomplete of all the Monsters in Qtest.

Shalrath was originally intended to summon the final boss of Episode 1: Dimension of the Doomed, Diablolord. It would have occasionally fired mind control rays for 30 seconds before the summoning. After Diablolord was defeated, it would mutter something and leave. The player would then proceed through a lengthy series of battles before the final boss fight, which was originally intended to be against Shalrath. After injuring him severely, Shalrath would reveal his true form; he was actually Shub-Niggurath in disguise in an attempt to drain all the other Old Ones of their powers to take over their home planes.
