Extrinsic Life Form

An Extrinsic Life Form, otherwise known as ELF (plural Elves), is a mysterious alien creature that originates from Masalwawan Space and thrives on Elfin Energies. Among those of ANIMA, they are called the Fae.

The majority seems to be hostile to humanity, emerging from WELPs with the intent of jordaslizing and/or elfing entire populations without discrimination. They are the primary opponents of the DERPS in the setting of Cosmic Emanation Denmegator.

Description
Elves do not have a true unifying biology, being bizarre alien creatures that ignore all semblances of earth based life. However, they all possess a higher than average amount of Countenance, the capability to manipulate Elfin Energies, and the ability to 'emanate'.

When an ELF emerges from a WELP, what is usually encountered is its E-Body, a false 'projection' of the original D-Body hidden somewhere in Masalwawan Space. Depending on the power of the ELF, it may even emanate multiple E-Bodies into the material plane.

The E-Bodies may be destroyed by mundane means (especially when weakened by a Ferge Barrier), but remain a difficult task due to their massive countenance. When destroyed, the E-Body disperses into Marioc, which then flies back into the WELP. However, this usually isn't the end of the trouble, for as long as the WELP remains open, the ELF may emanate a new E-Body through it.

The D-Body, suffused with Elfin Energies in Masalwawan Space, is all but impossible to destroy save by Jordaslization. Masalwawan Space is also hazardous for beings and objects with a small amount of countenance, Jordaslizing them instantly if unprotected. This makes the pursuit of D-Bodies an almost impossible task. These circumstances necessitated the development of humanoid combat vehicles called Pursuit Cuirass.

If an ELF's WELP is sealed or closed, its E-Body is jordaslized. It is unknown what exactly happens to the D-Body in this case, but certain Elves have demonstrated the capability to open new WELPs elsewhere after a few months.
