Inhabitants
a crackling <color> joule
Formed of raw, crackling energy, this creature is without definitive form. Occasionally opaque wings of coloured energy manifest themselves, unfolding like the petals of a budding flower, spreading widely behind it only to fade into wisps of crackling light. The core of the creature, an incandescent sphere of light, is often surrounded by a plethora of half-formed, deformed and fully formed limbs, each passing through various stages of entropy before dissipating completely. Occasionally the creature bears a vaguely familiar form, one with two arm-like appendages accompanied by two leg-like ones, before collapsing into itself, a plethora of tentacle-like ribbons of energy coiling outwards.
- Might: seems strong and confident.
- Deals electricity and fire damage.
- Afflicts with blindness.
- Upon dying, the collapse into a colored sphere instead of a normal corpse.
a glittering crystal
A small sphere, this crystal is small by most's standards, only large enough to act as a jewel upon the most modest of baubles. Its surface is perfectly smooth, its depths flaked with impurities that, in its own incandescence, gleam and glisten with a delicate, austere beauty. Small wisps of energy surround it like tendrils, crackling with electricity as the sphere struggles to stay afloat within the skies of the Transphenortex Grid.
- Might: exudes a quiet confidence.
- Found at the flying elevation.
a <gem> luminox
An amorphous creature composed of nothing but starlit darkness, this luminox swirls and churns deceptively. Looking as if it were almost two-dimensional, the creature's edges expand and contract in steady, rhythmic patterns. Gentle onyx pinpricks of light float about within the endless black, shifting slowly in mimicry of countless constellations, looking almost as if the cosmos themselves were contained within its impossibly thin form.
- Might: is quite powerful
- Deals electricity damage
- Afflicts with blackout.
- Only appear while someone is attempting to empower the Secondary Generators.
