Category:Corrupts

All the Corrupt creatures of Feral Pride. They are often characterized by their appearance, with black fur or feathers and a gray patch of fur or feathers around their face. They have either bright or deep blue eyes. When their corruption is recessed, usually during the stages of their life in which they are dependent or docile, they will not grow their full corruption. When this occurs, they lose any of their positive personality traits and memories, gaining great power in return. Once a Corrupt is in their "active" stage, they are highly dangerous--if they have fur or feathers, they become sharp quills; any of the hair on their joints disappears or falls out because it is advantageous for movement. They tongues and inner cheeks turn blue in color, and they exhale cooler air than normal. Some corrupts are able to enter the mind of Lucids and convince them to turn on the others in hopes of receiving the same powers, appearing as themselves with a blue "aura" like an illusion inside the mind of Lucids.

It is said that the original Corrupts were born from "bad parents" and, if they adopt the same behaviors, can sire Corrupt children themselves. The original Corrupts encouraged teaching that carnivory is justified; since these ideas were not widely accepted, they caused chaos, burning nearly all of the Aurabora trees on the planet so as to cut off meetingplaces where populations of multiple species could teach each other ethical practices and share space. The absence of a tree where all creatures could eat from caused them to develop different languages that became so different that different species could not talk with each other. Then, since some species could not understand the others, they found it justified to kill and consume each other to survive because they could not find edible food made from plants. Additionally, if a Corrupt animal is young and raised alongside siblings, some can "bite off the tongues" and kill their siblings. These statements were made by Lucids and may not actually be true, as this is what Vishunei told Huata about why her training was important.
