Udurgh

The Udurgh (Удург), or 'the Eighth'. is a body that contains a world.

Description
The Udurgh is 'the body that contains a world'. It refers to something that consists of many parts. It is also likened to a big body, or a body that contains other things. The Udurgh is a living thing, and not simply an object. The Haruspex wishes to protect it due to the notes left by his father.

Pathologic
On Day 2, the Haruspex retrieves his inheritance from Aspity. The inheritance includes the ‹^› brand, and a passage from Isidor Burakh's diaries swearing protection to [V], whose brand is in the box.

On Day 3, the Haruspex must learn the meaning of the brand. While he is unable to confirm this information, he learns that he must speak to Foreman Oyun to learn more.

On Day 8, the Haruspex discovers that the brand refers to an 'Udurgh', or 'The Body that Contains the World'. In this case, it refers to the Town, fed and nurtured by living blood.

Act 2
On Day 2, the Haruspex receives a note from Aspity along with his father's things, setting out a list of children his father met with before his death. The list also includes a strange symbol listed as the Eighth. The Haruspex does not recognise the symbol. During a dream, the Haruspex meets these children and discusses the Eighth. All they can advise is that the Udurgh is everywhere, and their fate is tied to his in some manner.

Act 3
On Day 4, the Haruspex tries to find the meaning of the "Udurgh". He visists Aspity, who explains that the meaning is a "body that contains the world", such as the legend of Bos Turokh. However, they agree that the symbol does not refer to the legendary bull, but likely something equally complex that could not otherwise be described. He also learns from Rubin that the symbol is used to brand bulls, and From Vlad the Younger that he believes the "udurgh" is a sacrificial bull. As Vlad understands, a bull's body mirrors the universe featured in the Steppe creation myth. However, Vlad admits that Foreman Oyun would be better suited to answering the question. Oyun is believed to be trapped in the locked Termitary, and is therefore unreachable.

On Day 5, after testing Bull's Blood with Daniil Dankovsky, the Haruspex dreams about Taya Tycheek. Taya asks him to visit the Udurgh's Ear, located in Shekhen. After 07:30 on Day 6, he is able to do so.
