Entities with bodies very different to most of the bodies usually found in this world, they are polymorphic creatures whose main appearence varies between a small ball or a milipede-like being with little protusions similar to very thin and delicate tentacles, though they can take other consistencies and appearences, including semi-liquid. They can also secrete an special substance, that can harden around their bodies and encase them, protecting them from most forms of damage. Their bodies give off a faint shine and look relatively silvery (if somewhat transparent), except when communicating, in which case they use bioluminiscence (how they receive the messages sent by others through this method is unknown, given their lack of eyes or any apparent visual receptors as far as seen yet). What they consume exactly is so far unknown, but seem to need to devour chocolate or similar elements in frequent basis. Wanderers lack a centralized "brain", and their entire body may be considered their brain. This is important to notice given how their method of connecting themselves to the nervous system works. Not exactly technologically advanced, many of them favor what can only be described as sort of "space whales" or, rather, living ships, as means of transportation. The "whale" or Balena only resembles actual whales slightly, looking more like gigantic, oval-shaped blobs of glowing mass with long, wing-like protusions and three long tales, alongside with a nbotorious lack of eyes. They look remarkably similar in this respect to the Wanderers, and it is thought that they might come from the same world. eventually reaches a world and the milipede-like Wanderers abandon its body, except for the "forefather" (the closest term that we could use to denominate their leaders aboard the Balena) who remain in the Balena and shut down all of its neurological systems until both it and the forefather die. The rest of the Wanderers, in the meantime, look for whatever closest capable "hosts" they can find, and upon finding them, they insert themselves in the hosts' bodies. The process apparently involves either entering through the already existing orifices and burrowing themselves until finding any possible connections to the brain and nervous system, or make a perforation on the neck or head and burrow themselves on it until finding the brain or spinal cord. Once finding the connection to the nervous system, they usually alter their shape and consistency to liquid, covering the nerve and then passing through to the main nervous system, until finding its way to all possible conenctions and to the brain. Once this is done, the Wanderer starts the process of manipulating the body of the host, by both trying to discern the memories and thoughts of the host and by giving off random signals for the body to start adapting themselves to their new senses, and adapting the host to be controlled by someone else than themselves. They start attempting to take full control of the hosts' bodies after at least 2 weeks of having entered them. Wanderers lack genders and diversity for the most part, though a few of them seem to adapt to the other species' gender dichotomy and bodies quite quickly and willingly. So far, there have been a report of at least 57 creatures reported as being hosts to the Wanderers, with only 11 of them being human. So far, of them, one of them has actually taken over an agent of Les Chevaliers, and given the difficulty to remove it without causing great damage to the nervous system hosts, it has been preferred to keep as many of them as possible under our care and study them in their current conditions until a way of removing them easily can be found. Magic has been suggested, but for some reason the Wanderers seem to be impervious to magic; or rather, their bodies just seem unaffected to it for unknown reasons. The difference between the personalities and attitudes of the Wanderer and the Chevalier are being studied right at this moment, but there seems to be a notorious contrast between the two. |
