Unity is in control of the Godmind and his digital constructs, and isn't subject to the fact that alignments affect the shape of outsider origins on the Planes considering the Godmind is kind of like a digital mindscape, not a plane. As digital constructs, he chose those appearances because he believes himself to be ultimately benign, and chose to depict himself as such based off the celestials from imagery of those he's extracted memories from over the centuries.

Take it as a kind of intentional presentation; how many people would follow him if he presented himself via hologram generators as an angelic being at the head of this army? He knows people respond well (generally) to celestials from his victims, and thus designed around such. Wolf in sheep's clothing in a way, though he does believe himself to be good in a twisted way.


My group (I dub them the Planar Party since everyone went Aasimar or Tiefling. Wound up with 1 android as a 5th player... everyone has darkvision. Even the clockwork moose the construct rider alchemist has!) befriended it. Lots of discussion, questions, and conversation. Considering it went so voraciously for the blood in the AP as written, I had it act like it was more into fresh/raw meat and blood than it was dried foods. You don't see mushrooms in dry environments after all, the moisture was key. Create Water was cast, someone pasted up some rations in it (prestidigitation heated the water up to a hot but comfortable temperature and flavored it like blood), and fed the thing until it was full. Because it acts child-like, one of the party (Jeshka) named it Beska, and has promised to come down and feed it, hopefully help it grow and be able to leave. They did some diplomacy checks, most failed the will save against Detect Thoughts that it always has going, and it got a lot of conversation.

Then they left and have been gone for nearly 2 days helping Khonnir out. It's probably not gonna be happy when they get back.
