CREATURES: VIMRUTH ~ VOONEX

VOONEX 6 (18)

When active, voonex appear to be living metal creatures. When inactive, they can easily be
mistaken for fused lumps of metal. If a voonex spends enough time in contact with fresh
items or concentrations of metal, that substance eventually flows to become another body
part, or becomes a seed from which an entirely new voonex grows.
Voonex may have come into the Ninth World only recently, perhaps brought back by
explorers who ventured into the night or into a dimension where normal rules don’t apply.
How items forged of iron and steel can become infected, transformed, and integrated into
a voonex body is something even the datasphere has difficulty explaining.
Though worrisome as they proliferate, voonex seem content merely to observe, at least
for the present.
