    One thing that occurred to me when I first fought Aldrich was I wondered what on Earth the stench would have been like in that room. Think about it, you're basically knee deep in an ungodly mix of rotting flesh, decaying corpses, necrotic slime, and half-digested sludge, so I can only imagine it must have been eye-wateringly foul. And looking at his 'true form' only makes that impression stronger...

    His boss fight doesn’t make it that clear but it’s always wild to think that most of what we consider to be Aldrich isn’t even him. IT’s Gywndolin, Nito, and the rotten remains of whatever other poor souls he devoured. Guy fucked himself up so much with acts of sin and abyss bullshit that’s he’s literally a pile of black sludge. And yet he was the only one out of the big Five to be given the title of Lord of Cinder out of fear rather than respect. Really paints a picture of what’s he is capable of despite his condition.

    Nito is never confirmed to have been eaten, or mentioned with Aldrich. Gwyndolin is the first god Aldrich devours, because they are at this point rare to come by, and Saint's the title, devourer of gods, refers in future sense to Aldrich's ambitions. Aldrich's ambition to devour gods only came AFTER he was resurrected by the bell. He was resurrected, ruminated on the ending of the fire, decided he would dedicate himself to age of deep waters and eat gods instead of regular people. Then he sets up to Irithyll, because he knows there is at least one god there.

    I always felt like this boss was a natural evolution of what The Rotten meant to represent in DS2. But while the Rotten was just an amalgamation of corpes that meant to be the embodimient of Nito's old Soul, with Aldrich they took it further: He is not only a grotesque mass of death that controls the power of an old deity from the Dark Souls universe(Gwyndollyn in this case), but he's ALSO eaten that same deity from the inside out, fusing with him not only from soul but in the flesh as well. Trully some fucked up shit.

    Easily one of the most vile things they’ve created when you think about it. Aldrich use to be a cleric a man. He ate as many men as he could to the point where he lost his form. Now just an unidentifiable writhing black mass of maggots, corpses, waste?, and a deformed rib cage. This isn’t some beast or some unknown species of creature he was once just human. Who delighted in the screams of people children even that he devoured. He’s so twisted anywhere he went he left a trail of decay and sludge. People worshiped him as a god essentially a real cult leader. The gods themselves aren’t good guys either. But the fate Gwyndolin met was indescribably dark. Having your kingdom taken over becoming ill then devoured alive slowly. Having your memories stolen well being connected to this thing. It’s contents infecting your own body.

    Not really, Gwyn and his kin are all responsible for all the disgusting evil stuff humanity has become, without the Darksign curse, humanity's darkness would not fester and devolve into bestial monstrosities. The lore depicts the pygmies as having mastered the manipulation of their Dark Soul which is why Gwyn was afraid of them. If you want evidence as to why Gwyndolin is not a good person, he spends hundreds of years, if not thousands, tricking undead humans into killing the three lords, his father Gwyn and relinking the flame, to do this he projects an illusion of his elder sister, Gwynevere who insists to the Undead that they must take the Lord vessel and fill it with great souls. Killing the illusion reveals the true state of Anor Londo, a dark, empty city abandoned by its gods who fled to lands unknown as the world decayed. Most will argue about the validity of 'canon' stuff like this but the true way Dark Souls ends is when an undead let's the fire fade or snuffs the flame entirely (Dark Souls 3), this allows the cycle to break/restart as opposed to the decay setting in. Though Dark Souls 3 also reveals the Fire is creating an illusion of the world because the real world is an ash heap with lost cities from time drifting up and down in the dunes of ash that stretch forever under a fading sky.

    Not a worm, but a black pile of shit-sludge. Whatever Aldritch did to himself over the years (or perhaps he just decayed while laying in his coffin?) he became a Venom-esque cannibalistic sludge. The whole boss room is covered in... him.

    Perhaps ,there were no other options. Too many failed, and turned to ash. Perhaps ,that was why he feasted in the first place. After all, who among the faithful would be happier to be fattened like a pig led to slaughter for the sake of the Flame than a right and proper cleric? But then, he woke up again, and saw that nothing changed. Absolutely nothing.

Maybe the connection is the locust preachers' saying "let the feast begin" is the connection but I can't put my finger on it
