Wubbaboos are mischievous Astral Spirits that possess individuals and commit pranks for fun. Although they are not deadly, they have the potential to cause trouble and should be kept from breaking loose.[2]
Classification[]
Wubbaboos are a type of spiritual organism that belong to the Heliobus species of the Spirit Essence family. They are categorized as Kingdom Spiritual Organisms, Class Astral Spirits, Order Shapeless, and are known for their mischievous nature.[2]
According to Adler's Tier System, Wubbaboos fall under the medium containment level.
Origins[]
The concept of spiritual organisms represented by Astral Spirits can be traced back to the recorded beginnings of the Amber Era. The Leviathan's Conception Theory suggests that some elder Leviathans were stranded after the Dusk Wars, and during their long sleep, their decomposed cells became the seedbed for organic organisms while their dissipating life force became wandering Astral Spirits. However, recent studies have denounced this theory, and more research is needed to determine the exact origin of Astral Spirits.[2]
Behavior[]
Initially, Astral Spirits were aimless and lacked individual will. However, during the Trailblaze, as humans began to travel through the galaxy, the Astral Spirits became attracted to their freedom of travel. The Astral Spirits were drawn to human emotions, particularly love and lust, and would possess the bodies of those who emitted strong emotions. Those who were unable to merge with the Astral Spirits died on the spot. However, some individuals managed to form a symbiotic relationship with the Astral Spirits. These spirits were feared for their exceptional abilities to sense emotions and control people's hearts and minds.[2]
Wubbaboos have inherited the abilities of their Astral Spirit ancestors, albeit on a less deadly scale. They enjoy scaring people and appear as ghostly, semi-transparent, shifting forms. Once they attach themselves to a host, the personality of the host changes dramatically, and their behavior becomes completely altered. They commit a series of pranks, and after they get bored, the host regains consciousness.[2]
A singular Wubbaboo possesses the intelligence of a six-year-old human, although this comparison is based on a test sample consisting of Adler and Wen Shiling. When in a group, the Wubbaboos' individual intelligence reduces dramatically. This is because the thought waves of spiritual organisms interfere with each other, and a resonance in frequency will affect their individual decision-making.[3]
