A hyperdimensional mold. A mindless fungus that feeds on entire realities. There is no intelligence behind it, no design, no purpose beyond consumption. Where it originates is unknown, and the beginning of its life cycle is not yet settled in the game's lore. -What is settled is how it found its way to the world of Vale. Somewhere in the multiverse it consumed a Meridian traveler, and from that single act it reverse-engineered a path back to the traveler's origin: an impossibly ancient archive holding maps of innumerable worlds and dimensions.

In doing so, it gained access to something far more valuable than a single life: a path. + +Following traces embedded within the traveler's mind, the fungus discovered the Meridian Archive, an impossibly ancient repository containing maps of innumerable worlds and dimensions. The fungus feeds on those records. When it consumes a world's hypercube, it gains perfect knowledge of that reality, and once it understands a world completely, consuming the world itself becomes trivial. It no longer needs to explore, adapt, or learn. It already knows everything. A mapped world dies before it even realizes it is under attack.
