[[File:VulgorokSide.png|thumb|Vulgarok in full manifestation.]]
The Vulgarok are a variant of [[Sebuuk]] that attained bodies after [[The Curse (Sebuuk)|the Curse]] was inflicted on them. Originally [[Sebuuk]] after [[The Curse (Sebuuk)|the Curse]] were only able to Manifest as a [[Ômôtar]] during the darkest of nights when moonlight and starlight forsake the skies. These events are orchestrated by servants of [[Malis]]. Even with such an event [[Ômôtar]] are vulnerable to fire and bright light.


However, the deviousness of the [[Shemîin]] knows no bounds and they discovered a way to allow the [[Sebuuk]] to manifest within [[Yedistren]]. By baptizing a dead [[Shemîin]] infant in pure [[Malisik Corruption]] the [[Homunculus]] formed is able to be possessed by a [[Sebuuk]] [[Spirits and Souls|Spirit]]. This is only possible on [[Gokolok]] where the [[Solar System]] has been blackened preventing any [[Luma Radiation]] from reaching the planets surface only [[Photon|Photonic]] light can manifest within the cloud. Even then more than 100 [[Lumen|Lumens]] will promptly send the spirit of the [[Sebuuk]] back to [[Gozog'nok]]. How the infant dies is unknown, but it is believed to be a torturous death.
'''Vulgarok''' are a sinister, body‑possessing variant of the [[Sebuuk]] spirit tribe. They first appeared after the [[The Curse (Sebuuk)|Curse]] robbed the Sebuuk of the ability to inhabit physical forms. The only way they could manifest other than as an [[Ômôtar]] was transforming some of their most ruthless warriors into demonic homunculi.  While most cursed Sebuuk could only manifest as the skeletal [[Ômôtar]] during pitch‑black nights, the Vulgarok achieved a permanent, flesh‑like vessel through a forbidden ritual of utilizing [[Malisik Corruption]].
 
== Origin and Creation ==
The [[Malisik Inquisition]] discovered a way to bind a dead [[Shemîin]] infant with pure corruption, creating a malformed homunculus that could host a Sebuuk spirit.  The ritual can only be performed on [[Gokolok]], whose sky is shrouded in a permanent darkening clouds that block [[Luma Radiation]].  Within this darkness, a single [[Lumen|lumens]] count above one hundred will repel the spirit back to the realm of [[Gozog'nok]], making the process both rare and perilous. Any amount of light too bright will destabilize the ritual. The exact cause of the infant’s death remains a mystery, though the prevailing theory is a ritual‑induced, excruciating demise.
 
== Physical Description ==
* '''Size''' – Height averages 396 cm; mass is low due to a largely skeletal frame. 
* '''Skin''' – A glossy, metallic black exoskeleton that reflects little light, granting natural camouflage in shadowed environments. 
* '''Eyes''' – Unsettling glowing‑green orbs that emit a faint phosphorescence, allowing limited vision in the photon‑cloud of Gokolok. 
* '''Mouth and Tongue''' – A leering maw filled with oversized fangs; a flexible, whip‑like tongue can extend up to two metres, used to snare prey or manipulate objects. 
* '''Limbs''' – Digitigrade, bipedal stance; claws are retractable, enabling both silent stalking and powerful grappling. 
 
== Biology and Physiology ==
Vulgarok are not true biological organisms; their bodies are sustained by a blend of corrupted essence and residual homuncular tissue. Metabolism is driven by the consumption of high‑energy organic matter, classifying them as [[Diet|hyper carnivores]].  Their skeletal structure is reinforced with [[Malisik Matter]] deposits that make them resistant to conventional weaponry, yet they remain vulnerable to intense heat, [[Luma Radiation]] and pure [[Photon|photonic]] energy, which can destabilize their corrupted matrix.
 
== Abilities ==
* '''Spirit Possession''' – A Vulgarok can channel the full spectrum of Sebuuk spiritual powers, including telepathy, necrotic aura, and limited reality‑warping within a 10‑meter radius. 
* '''Photonic Adaptation''' – In the darkened atmosphere of Gokolok, they can see and act without reliance on visible light. 
* '''Whip‑Tongue Strike**''' – The elongated tongue can deliver venomous secretions that cause rapid necrosis. 
* '''Regeneration''' – Minor wounds close within minutes, provided the host spirit remains anchored to the body.
 
== Weaknesses ==
* '''Fire & Bright Light''' – Direct exposure to flames, any [[Luma Radiation]], or intense photonic bursts  sears the metallic skin and forces the spirit to retreat. 
* '''Lumen Threshold''' – Sustained illumination weakens the Vulgarok and extended exposure to significant light forces [[Sebuuk]] [[Spirits and Souls|Spirit]] back to [[Gozog'nok]].
* '''Corruption Instability''' – Prolonged periods without feeding on high‑energy flesh cause the homuncular body to decay, rendering the spirit vulnerable.
 
== Cultural Role ==
Within Sebuuk hierarchy, Vulgarok serve as elite enforcers for the Malisik Inquisition.  Their terrifying appearance and near‑invincibility make them ideal for intimidation, ritual sacrifice, and the suppression of dissenting tribes.  They are rarely seen outside Gokolok, but legends speak of their occasional incursions into neighboring worlds where they hunt for souls to fuel further corruption.
 
== Encounter and Lore ==
* '''First Recorded Sighting''' – The earliest documented encounter are recorded by the [[Shaikû]] whom had members who barely survive an encounter with one. Record of one being killed by the blade was not present until [[Daron Zûrenlek]] was successful in dueling and defeating one. This [[Vulgorok]] was [[Jûlomônok]] a well documented [[Sebuuk]] General from [[The First War (Lethurîa)|the First War]]. His reign of terror covered the third arm of the [[Eldžaren Galaxy]], leaving a trail of ruined Colony Worlds.
* '''Mythic Significance''' – Some seers interpret the Vulgarok as avatars of the [[Gozog'nok]], living embodiments of the [[Corruptive Essence of Malis]]. 
* '''Countermeasures''' – Scholars advise the use of concentrated photonic artillery and sanctified fire rites to neutralize or banish Vulgarok incursions.
