Cosmic Horrors that have often plagued the various realms of the Multiverse.
Nature[]
Described by one as "Giant psychic squids with ego problems" many of them are indeed cephlapods, creatures with heads directly connected to their limbs, arms, legs, but mainly tentacles, however not all follow this format. All of them tend to have large brains and use all three main types of Psychic Enzymes. This combined with their often large size, and impressive cellular regeneration (natural life spans, not conventional 'regeneration'), means that they often have God Complexes.
It should be noted that the name is an Umbrella term and not all look like squids, at least one looked like a bat/bear thing, and another a cross between a centipede and a manta ray. However, all are long lived and are much bigger than humans and have a natural psychic field that induces terror to the point of madness in those that see them, though more advance races are resistant to this. Another thing to note, is that they have an unnatural life force, that does not follow the basic rules of a life form.
Their goals and origins are often different from each other, but most are mainly bored things who have grown disinterested with the going-ons of the universe. Many go into long slumbers.
History[]
Where they came from is unknown, many have different origins and some even claim to be from before the universe. In modern times they are a 'species' on the decline and many of the Higher Races have taken to destroying their like.
