#voidworms

[honourablejester]

More Pathfinder: I’m watching Mythkeeper’s video on the Proteans, the ancient inhabitants of the Maelstrom and possibly the most ancient creatures in existence. Sidenote, the Maelstrom is incredibly cool, I adore it. But. As he’s going through the types of Proteans you can get, he mentions the voidworms as a … I was going to say ‘more animalistic’ but it’s less that and just … less concerned with big plans or conflicts, sort of cousins. And they’re adorable.

Voidworms are cheerful little 2ft long shimmering iridescent flying creatures that zoom around the foaming chaos of the Maelstrom uncaring of the machinations of their larger cousins. When they leave the raw foaming chaos of the Maelstrom, though, you get the following:

“Elsewhere (such as on the Material Plane), voidworms are mesmerized by the principle of object permanence; many latch onto specific features of a region (such as a hillside or pond) and flit through the air around it for months or even years as they wait for the object of their curiosity to change. Minor changes— such as a tree’s change of color in the fall, a corpse’s slow decay, or periodic venting of steam from a geyser—all fascinate voidworms.”

They’re dopey little flying fish serpents that basically like to fly around watching paint dry. Because they come from a realm of constant massive change, they just don’t get the way other planes tend to hold shapes and states a lot longer, and just hover around watching things to figure out when the changes are going to happen. It’s adorable. They’re so cute.

(They do have 8 INT, they have language, they can talk, they’re not animal-level intelligence, they just don’t really get permanence as a concept).

And I think … it would be really adorable if a character had a voidworm following them, not as a pet or a familiar or a slave or out of loyalty or anything like that, but just because the object the voidworm has gotten fascinated with is them? They have a little iridescent flying chaos worm flitting around after them just watching the way they slowly age in fascination. A cheerful, curious stalker who just follows them around being fascinated by their growth, their hair changing colour, their injuries, their healing, their scars, their wrinkles. Do they speak Protean? Can they learn it, to try and talk to the voidworm? Are they protective of the voidworm, even though it does nothing whatsoever to help them out, just because it was weird at first but now they’re attached? Does the voidworm get attached?

I just. I don’t want to say I want one, because they’re intelligent creatures and that would be weird, but I would love to meet a voidworm. They seem like really cool, chill creatures. It’d be cool to have one hanging around, you know?

Anyway. Pathfinder voidworms are really cute and I love them? Heh. Carry on.

Voidworms are 2 ft (61 cm) creatures that gather to play in the chaos of the maelstrom outside reality. They like going to our world because object permanence fascinates them. Even slow changes like leaves in fall or decay are intriguing to creatures whose bodies and organs. are constantly shifting. So they might take a liking to your area and just watch in awe for weeks or years. It can turn into any animal its size or smaller, its slap can stun you, and they have magic to make mist clouds and minor illusions.

this is the before pregnancy :)

[drillss]

uh they aren’t supposed to be there

[drawwithmis]

Void worm gets bored or something and decides to take a vacation from the void to visit some other region like shoreline.

Not sure how the void worm would get there, maybe it just swims in the air somehow.

Voidworm from Pathfinder - the noodle snek! Very easy to distract uwu

[pikatjejen]

I finally have a name for my AU! Nexomon Refracted! :D

Also I made a design for little Ellie.

And an adult/old woman version:

She got a proper wheelchair :D

Now I'm not saying that I made her immortal and Luxa's caretaker/operater, but...

Zero gravity helps with mobility. But not with maintaining muscles.

She is still alive by the time of Extinction.

Fun fact: Voidworm Luxa physically can not disobey his operator (His previous operators being Omnicron and Grunda). That doesn't mean that he can't do malicious compliance, of course.

Spoilers for Rainworld Saint campaign under the cut

I'm going to start a series of drawings where I do my own designs for the passage artwork! Started with Saint because this was my favorite design I had sketched out when I was coming up with the idea.

hey guys i found this thing in my soup wtf do i do

[localceilingdevil]

this reminds me of the texture they used for voidworms. it can be found in the game files and i accidentally discovered this while making my iterator skin mods 😭 it's corn.

Here, have a garbage quality MS Paint comic

If any of y'all have done RW modding where you have to put your own hooks into the code, you'll know what I'm talking about lol. Like, who tf names their variables "num1, num2, etc." and "flag"???? And why is the whole EstablishRelationships() thing just a wall of code instead of a for loop?

[localceilingdevil]

ancients!!!! chasm and fronds :] been really enjoying thinking about ancient lore recently!!!

this is chasm. he's addicted to mushrooms and karma flowers and was the first ancient to get contacted by the Voidworm. kickstarted the whole void revolution [artfight]

and this is fronds! she was approached by the other ancients who wanted to build an iterator capable of mass-producing masks. she was entrusted with hope's construction as she is a monk and takes her religion very seriously :p [artfight]
