Yssgaroth

> So powerful were the bodies of these great creatures, and so fiercely did they cling to life, that they were impossible to kill, save by the use of bow ships. Yet slain they all were, and to the last one, by the Lords of Time. The Lords of Time destroying them utterly. However, when the bodies were counted the King Vampire, mightiest and most malevolent of all, had vanished, even to his shadow, from time and space.

## Yssgaroth

### Notable locations

Spiral Reflecticus

The Yssgaroth (or the Great Vampires) are a race of Daemonic beings native to the Spiral Yssgaroth. Vaguely able to be described as a gestalt lifeform, the Yssgaroth is able to split itself into various different separate lifeforms with their own consciousness and sapience. They are one of the main enemies of the Time Lords due to the Eternal War and one of the most vile races of Daemons, second only to the Mirik in terms of sheer evil. Some claim that the Yssgaroth serve a larger power lurking within the Spiral Yssgaroth.

## Biology

Essentially pieces of a much larger entity, individual Yssgaroth are able to shift their own form to fit their needs. They are energy parasites - being able to feast off of any source of energy. The most powerful source of energy for the Yssgaroth is blood. Individual Yssgaroth are able to communicate with one another through means of shared thoughts.

Yssgaroth biomass is able to convert other beings into vampires - changing their biodata to make them into part-Yssgaroth beings. Given enough time, the "Yssgaroth Taint" can fully convert a being into a Yssgaroth. Unlike the Mirik transformation, however, this usually takes decades. Part-Yssgaroth vampires are able to be controlled by the Yssgaroth subconsciously. This is able to be broken through concentration, with some vampires being able to completely remove any chance of the Yssgaroth influence from their minds.

## History

The early history of the Yssgaroth is described as such:

*Near the beginning of everything, two forms of biomass in two separate universes formed with a shared quality. The ability to convert all other biomass into duplicates of its own form.*

*One was shaped and formed into humanoid form by a being of extreme power and extreme malevolence. The other, seemingly, had no such help.*

*It would form a singular consciousness - one massive group mind able to split into infinite fractions. These fractions could shape their own form as they saw fit.*

*Once these beings gained a certain level of sapience, they realized with horror that they were twisted, contorted reflections of some other universe’s Gods. It disgusted them.*

*Instead of destroying themselves, they decided to break free from their own universe and supersede their originals. For nearly ten thousand years, their entire civilization was devoted towards burning a hole through reality.*

*In a single, glorious day the first hole was burned through their reality into another reality. The beings rejoiced as they entered into this world! They began seeking out the Gods, but found that they had entered into another mirror, less twisted but still nothing more than a copy of another universe…*
