In the words of REFUSE, the first B&C fluff quizmaster: ‘Slaanesh has taken over Cartoon Network!' A regular character in the excellent PowerPuff Girls cartoon bears a remarkable similarity to Slaanesh. Name Him.

HIM! Talk about the answer being in the question! Honestly, he has the lobster claws, the whole camp thing going on… just watch the show, you will see what I mean. I wonder if Craig McCracken is a GW fan?

Mild acne (0-5 pts): Pitiful! You live in fear of the sound of the ‘Oxy 10' tube being opened!
Flu (6-10 pts): You will make your victim feel like hell for a few days, but you must aspire to greater - and messier - things if you wish to catch the eye of the Great lord of Decay!
Electro-gonorrhoea (11-15 pts): The Noisy Killer! Symptoms include a burning electrical discharge.
The Plague of Unbelief (16-20 pts): You wipe out whole cities, and turn the victims into shambling plague zombies. All together now, ‘Braaiiiins!'
Nurgles Rot (21 pts): You are the most favoured of Grandfather Nurgles pestilences, slowly transforming your victims into plaguebearers, the lesser daemons of Nurgle.
