Entities

***Spoiler Alert. The following page contains plot details.***

The entities are supernatural creatures invisible to most people that appear in all the sagas of the webcomic Foribus Mentis. They are often the ones who unleash chaos on the world and have apparently been around since the birth of humans.

It is not certain where they come from and they seem to have different origins. Some theories seem to point to them being products of the human mind, which somehow manage to materialize in these creatures. Although, due to the enigmatic and confusing nature of the series, it is also unclear whether these are real or just metaphors to show how mental problems, strong emotions and feelings, or harmful behaviors can affect one person or the rest.

## Description

There are different types of entities and different types of abilities. But the most common ones always seem to have the ability to appear from the walls of a place or sprout from the floor if they are in an open place. In general, they tend to be creatures that are only guided by the primal instinct from which they were created, meaning that most of them do not have the ability to reason or any mental process. Some entities are able to enter objects and give them life, sometimes to fulfill some desire of the one who created them.

There are no definite rules of their origin, but there are a number of repetitive patterns that could be taken as rules. Such as the fact that not all people are capable of creating them, or that they cannot be created directly (i.e., if a human has knowledge of the existence of these, it is not enough to simply think or intensely want to generate one). In addition, the entities do not obey anything but their own instincts, so they could attack their creators. Most cannot reproduce with humans, but there are some born of lust that can use humans as a container for offspring. Also, some can split into smaller forms.

Below is a list of the possible names of all the entities that have appeared in the series, according to their order of appearance. It has never been mentioned whether the creatures have any specific names, so the list below suggests likely names for their characterization.

### Saga 1

Entity of necessity: It is an entity that has the ability to steal people's senses. It wears a black robe and has greenish skin like a dead person in an advanced state of decomposition. It has existed since before the birth of mankind, since living beings have always had needs; such as feeding from another living being, getting a territory to live, etc. With the evolution of species, it began to be more present as the needs of new living beings increased and became more complex. Although it never interferes in situations in a physical way, it has always been there observing everything. It is, in a way, omnipresent, as it can appear in several places at the same time if it wishes to do so. Although it is not an aggressive entity most of the time, it can attack if it is attacked first. Throughout the history of mankind he has been destroyed several times, but he usually reappears if situations warrant it, so, in a way, he is believed to be immortal. Half of his face is always hidden by the hood he wears, although the part of his lips is visible, his face is only a mask since inside it there is an infinite wormhole similar to those of worms. This is for the representation of the lack or need of something that always exists in the universe. It is one of the few entities that has appeared in all the sagas of the series.

Subway Entity: An entity that attacks Yukiko and bites her in the arm. In the end she manages to defeat it and make it destroy itself.

Distress Entity: Entity that first appeared in the episode "Weeping Walls" attacking Cherith and Yukiko when they were asleep in the room. It can create the illusion of flooding any place by giving off a type of dark, dirty water through the walls. The entity has control of this water, as it can be seen not to drain into open spaces such as the space between the bottom of the door and the floor or holes in the walls.

Fish Entity: It is a type of entity that possibly derived somehow from Nano Viziri's mind and ends up attacking him.

Phantom Plane: When Yukiko is in the plane about to land, she sees a plane with similar characteristics to hers approaching at full speed but instead of hitting it and causing a collision, it only passes through it as if it were made of a gaseous substance and does not cause any damage. Inside are other passengers and Ella can see an alternate version of herself in that plane.

### Saga 3:

Asylum entity: It is a creature that inhabits the abandoned mansion that Effie and the group found. It woke up when she and Christopher entered the place and pursues them.

Miazuma: It can be considered an entity.

### Saga 5:

The Entity that enters through Marianne's window.
