Discovered only in the last decade by Aether Foundation scientists, Necrozmic Disciples are one of the newest Extradimensional Pokemon to be named and categorized. Despite extensive research which includes necropsies, vivisections, and wormhole habitat studies, much is still unknown about the creatures and their origins. Based on what has been uncovered so far, it appears Disciples have forms that are capable of adapting to their environment, meaning every individual is likely to be different from the next. Whether these are true Form Changes, Regional Variants, or outright different Evolutions is still unknown and continue to be classed as instances of UB-50.

ETYMOLOGY
UB-50's UB number was derived from the age of Aether President Lusamine's missing husband as a means of honoring his memory. The assigned codeword, disciple, stems from the belief that these Pokemon are vassals to the Blinding One of ancient history. According to the information provided by the Ultra Recon Squad, these creatures once served Necrozma as mindless drones, seeking out Light* for Necrozma to feed off of. Whether or not UB-50 can be categorised as a 'true' Ultra Beast is still debated due to their lack of the UB signature ability, Beast Boost.

ANATOMY
Necrozmic Disciples are creatures composed of pure energy, much like the legendary Blinding One. Unlike Necrozma, however, the Disciples are not armored and are far smaller - most individuals documented have been near human-sized and rarely go above or below those measurements. In their most basic form - which has yet to be observed in the wild - it is theorised that Disciples are yellowish in colour, glowing brightly like Necrozma. DNA analysis reveals the possibility of a rare 'shining' mutation, which likely is a muted silver colouration.

Despite being classified as Pokemon, Disciples seem to share more physical traits with humanoids. They usually stand upright, have clear human-like limb arrangements, and posess a very mammalian head with forward facing eyes. Their arms, long and lithe structures, have four-fingered hands including opposable thumbs. Elongated vents on the underside of these arms allow for energy to be expelled from the body, creating two pairs of enlarged 'wings'. A pair of similar vents on the Pokemon's back allow for separate but similar 'wings' to emerge, visibly similar to a Carvanha's dorsal fins. These wings seem to correlate with an individual's power level, with higher-level Disciples having larger, more iridescent wings. These wings have been observed to refract light travelling through them much like a prism as well as reflecting some wavelengths like a mirror, implying a potential use in defense and offense.
