Silent Legions: 1d12 More Cults

A sequel, of sorts, to this post. This one has a bit more silly ideas in it and I blame either acid reflux or feeling like posting something but somehow not having the right mindset for what was being typed.

d12What is this cult like/about?
1
A cult centered around eating the bones of the deceased, which grants them power at the cost of their humanity. Eating freshly-deceased bone marrow prepare with arcane rituals imbues them with resistance, regeneration and the ability to read the memory of the dead. They use this last ability to acquire things they need.
2They are the psychic henchmen of a mad scientist who has been experimenting with the human brain, allowing it to perceive higher dimensions. Suffice to say that whatever dwells there drives people quite, quite mad.
3As above, but replaced with genetic engineering and physical mutations. These alterations should not be physically possible on a full-grown human but when crazy alien stuff and hyper-dimensional genes are involved, sometimes the implausible may happen.
4They derive their rituals from medieval alchemy, such as attempting to create the philosopher stone.
5As above but made much more potent and terrifying by centuries of advancement in chemical science, allowing them to make weapons, explosives and horrible things which are a fusion of eldritch sorcery and modern chemical science.
6
They've summoned or created a horrible, nearly indestructible monster which they intend to use to conquer the region and then world, muhuhahaha! Unfortunately, this implausible juggernaut has a crippling weakness which they are desperately trying to hide because it's silly. However until found, this abomination can tear through humans like a living buzzsaw.
7It's an orgy cult. Don't really need to add more to this,
8
This cult is composed of a single individual. As in, they've all fused into a single monster following their foul rituals. Gross, I know, but it does allow for a kickass 'boss battle'?
9As above, but a bit more fleshed out before their eventual degeneration: the cult seeks to destroy individuality and join all flesh and mind in glorious communion with eldritch powers.
10
This cult went back in time and impersonated/replaced their previous selves.
11These cultists recruit furries. Yes, really. They use people's (sometimes disturbing) love for anthropomorphic animals to ease them in their bestial cult which worship the Mother of Beasts. Then they eat the poor bastards.
12"There is no cult. You've certainly never seen these senators enter that place your investigations confirmed to be a temple to He From Beyond Who Hunger For Sorrow. We are going to be as clear as we can be: there is no cult. Just a weather balloon."
