**Ny'thal-ita** is an interdimensional creature with unknown origins and motives. Very little is known about what it is or what it does; few worlds have ever come into direct contact with it, and thus, studying the impact it has on its surroundings is difficult. In the case of Earth-87, a universe directly affected by Ny'thal-ita, its presence was a drain on the heat of the planet's core. This drain is directly responsible for the massive industrialisation of Earth-87, and therefore, the harsh conditions and inhumane treatment of the majority of its inhabitants. As such, Ny'thal-ita is viewed as an active troublemaker and nuisance throughout the multiverse, though its current whereabouts are unknown.

## Origins

The origins of Ny'thal-ita are completely unknown. Whether Ny'thal-ita was 'born' (if such a word can be used in the context of Ny'thal-ita) as a formless dimensional traveller or was somehow altered into becoming one is unclear-- however, Ny'thal-ita's presence has obvious effects on the world around it over the course of years spent on a planet. These effects include intense irradiation, draining the heat of a planet's core (for unknown purposes) and causing mass hysteria and psychosis, either through natural energy or intentional manipulation. It's important to note that Ny'thal-ita is not omnipotent nor omniscient. Ny'thal-ita is considered a wanted criminal within the multiverse, but its shapeshifting and universe hopping abilities make it extremely difficult to capture. Whether or not a known manner of safe imprisonment even *exists* for Ny'thal-ita isn't certain; whatever planet containing it would suffer the same detriments as its previous homes.

## Earth-87

Ny'thal-ita's most infamous act was the corruption of the otherwise standard Earth-87. This is the first case of direct interference by the creature, and perhaps the most damning of all. By approaching the most prominent nations of Earth-87 in the early 1300s in the form of an Egyptian human male, Ny'thal-ita jumpstarted the planet's industrial revolution and formed a cult based around itself-- the Clearbreath Church. 1000 years in the future, this interference would lead to the current state of Earth-87's atmosphere and flora; completely decimated. Ny'thal-ita's cult still controls Earth-87, worshipping him as the God of Breath and attributing the prosperity of the domes to its continued presence within the planet's core. There is no concrete evidence that Ny'thal-ita remains on Earth-87; it seems more likely that it simply became bored of the planet and left soon after its complete corruption.

## Earth-440

Ny'thal-ita features in many theories on the events preceding Earth-440's current state. Drawing comparisons to Earth-440 and Earth-87, many within the multiverse agree that Ny'thal-ita had a part to play in Earth-440's theorised extinction event. The few legible engravings within Earth-440's catacombs venerate a 'Starless Messenger', a title generally attributed to Ny'thal-ita and a recurring motif within the Clearbreath Church. The fauna of Earth-440's severe corruption and mutation resembles many artistic interpretations of Ny'thal-ita, both from within the Clearbreath Church and outside of it.
