Transcendent ecosystem

The **transcendent ecosystem** is the variety of lifeforms that live in the Transcendentem, feeding off Beyond bubbles, wandering cosmic entities, the Kalyubi dimension, and, ultimately, the Guardian of the 5th Wall's power source.

## Monocosms

**Paxgods** are parasitic entities that often sap alom and nutrients from developing omnipotent^1 entities such as Creators, Qos, and Destroyers. Alomic entities are rendered disabled for the early stages of their life when affected by a paxgod. The affected entities appear to experience discomfort and may find creating and/or destroying large structures more difficult.

## Beyond Bubbles

Inside the Beyond bubbles of the Transcendentem lie the Beyond, a logical gas that provides an abundant source of nutrients for beings living in the Transcendentem. In the center of these Beyond Bubbles are ordinary -verses like those of the Barrel, as well as their attendent supergods.

**Monoticks** are larger parasitic entities which latch onto more powerful entities than paxgods do, such as supergods.

**Fatties** (omnipotent3) are a type of supergod that take up an entire Beyond bubble and send out their eggs on Elastics to inhabit other Beyond bubbles.

(Xenixel's) **Basilisks** inhabit some Beyond bubbles; they prey on gods and supergods, using intimidation to paralyse their prey and then injecting them with venom that destroys their constituent sentiences.

## Beyond Bubble Boundaries

Between the Beyond bubbles and the Transcendentem is a logical energy gradient between the logically gaseous alom of the Beyond and the logically solid trosinium of the Transcendentem itself. **God cells** live on the exterior of these Beyond bubbles and use the Beyond to evaporate tiny chunks of troisinium which they then deposit to form their membranes. **Omnipotency capsules** (omnipotent1) feed off these god cells and make up the main food source for many other beings in the transcendentem.

Some lifeforms predate on the entities from inside the Beyond bubbles. **Fourth walls** (omnipotent2) live on the outside of the Beyond bubble and consume entities that stray too far from the center.

## Transcendentem Proper

**Elastics** are trosinium wavepackets that propagate through the Transcendentem as a wave of near-inconsistency that eventually deposits itself in a Beyond bubble, after which multiple elastics scatter off. **Sleeping gods** are dormant supergods that embed themselves in the troisinum and only wake up when an elastic is passing; they consume some of the elastic's energy (and payload, if present) before returning to hibernation.

**Stage I seeds** from the external hazard are present in the Transcendentem, and will seek Beyond bubbles to use to grow; the internal cosmologies of weaker lifeforms in the transcendentem are not conductive to hosting Nahja-Tehba's mind, and larger lifeforms are too hostile for single stage I seeds to grow in. Infested Beyond bubbles are highly toxic and if found are euthanised by guardians to contain the external hazard. Larger infestations can take hold of large parts of the Transcendentem itself and containing them is one of the rare occasions when multiple greater guardians will collaborate.

**Staters** are entities that naturally produce the bubble stability agent staterium; they are rarely preyed upon by other entities, other than hawxen, but are often sought after for their staterium. **Hawxen** (omnipotent2) are capable of consuming staters, and are able to break down staterium into useless slag.

**Least guardians** are a weaker form of lesser guardian that often act in groups. **Lesser guardians** protect existing Beyond bubbles from damage from other hostile entities. **Greater guardians** create new Beyond bubbles by inducing controlled explosions in the Transcendentem.

**Kalyubi barnacles** are high omnipotent koto-preying beings that sit dormant in the Transcendentem until entities emerge from the Kalyubi dimension, at which point they eat them.

**Transcendentem Breakers** are giant worm-like and tree-like creatures that drill through transcendentem, consuming small pieces of it, causing instability and potential beyond bubble collapse. They are very dangerous, and are usually avoided by many beings.

## Kalyubi Dimension

**The Pits** are "living" Black Holes which exist across the Kalyubi Dimension. They have all the standard physics of Black Holes, but with the addition of a semi-sentience as well as sharp spiraling fangs lining its Event Horizon as if it were the mouth of a leech. The Pits have a never-ending hunger and cannot be satisfied no matter how much they consume, as they have no stomach to speak of. Typically, when something is sucked into a Pit, it is ground up into the smallest particles by the Pit's fangs, and then spewed out through the other side into another random part of the Kalyubi Dimension through a random portal, where the particles are then fed on by other creatures.

**Kotojinns**, also referred to by some as "Djinni", are a species that weren't originally native to the local Kalyubi Dimension but eventually became a full-fledged species sometime after Satoru's banishment. The Kotojinn of the Kalyubi Dimension eventually "evolved" to have their own unique anatomical and biological traits, different from those who existed outside of it. Because of this, these beings were eventually as an offshoot subspieces known as Kalyubijinns, or Kalyubi-Djinni.

Like other Kotojinns/Djinni, Kalyubijinns are spiritual entities partially composed of Koto who also have an affinity towards it. Many are known to trick and deceive unwitting victims with koto magic under the guise of "granting wishes" to them. These beings are notorious tricksters, and thus are well avoided by those who know better.
