Story of the Akrid and Entity 303

What are the Akrid?

The Akrid are mysterious, invasive creatures dating back to the Creation Era. They ingest and utilize a substance known as Thermal Energy (often called Metalburn by the denizens of the Ooo system). Akrid are extremophilic lifeforms, meaning that they can survive in extremely harsh environments with temperature extremes that would kill most species, such as the sub-zero wastelands of the polar regions, and some species can even live in molten magma. In addition to this, Akrid are amazingly adaptable and can rapidly mutate and evolve to accommodate changing conditions. It is for this reason that they are at odds with the indigenous Behemoths and Slimes.
