The Entrigeri

The Entrigeri were an ancient species who first existed in $-10^{100}$ OYC. They are now virtually extinct, with there only being 4 known Entrigeri left. They include a Light Tribe member (that joined when they first found Zoid), The Seller, the owner of The Store, a mutated Entrigeri running The Supply Store, and The Warrior. The Entrigeri seem to be immune to corrosive and toxic elements such as Toxicium, and a few Entrigeri have strange powers.

Appearance and General Description

A depiction of an Entrigeri

The Entrigeri have a humanoid appearance, with their faces being almost featureless, except for a few slits close to the bottom for speaking. They have 2 arms with 2 fingers on each of them. These 2 fingers have 5 fingers branching off of them. Each of their 2 feet have 4 toes.

Entrigeri, even though they do not have eyes, have very good hearing and are good at sensing objects around them. They have used this to somehow create their own language even though they are blind.

Life Cycle

The Entrigeri have been seen to be able to live for insane amounts of time, as shown with The Seller. They have a relatively simple life cycle.

Birth

Entrigeri are created from wormholes formed by at least 4 older Entrigeri which manipulate matter in such a way that it can create a living creature. Entrigeri in this state are very small, with them only being a few centimeters tall. They will continue to grow exponentially for the next few days until they are approximately 1.2 meters.

Development Stage

After about 5 days, Entrigeri will develop a few slits at the bottom of their lower face, allowing them to be able to speak. During this this period, their brains will rapidly develop. This is also the stage where they are most vulnerable, as a small disturbance to them can cause their brain functions to slow, making them easier targets for predators.

Main Stage

This is when Entrigeri are fully developed. The slits at the bottom of their faces will slowly start to shrink over this period due to them getting older. Entrigeri will created around 2 or 3 new Entrigeri during this stage. At around 10,000 years, their ability to talk will be gone due to the slits fully closing.

Old Stage

An Entrigeri enters this stage after the slits at the bottom of their mouths fully close, making then unable to speak. An Entrigeri's metabolism will also begin to slow down, and they will start to lose brain functions over time. Entrigeri can last thousands, or even millions of OYC in this stage if left alone, but are extremely vulnerable against outside threats, such as other creatures, viruses, or foreign material.

Relationship with The Store

The Entrigeri are thought to have constructed the pocket dimension which contains The Store and The Store itself as a safe haven from outside threats. Evidence suggests that The Store was a trading hub of sorts for the Entrigeri inside the pocket dimension. All the items present inside The Store seems to point to a relatively advanced Entrigeri civilization before they got wiped out.

The Entrigeri also created Vpom (The Entrigeri currency) sometime before The Store was created.

Language

The Entrigeri language, known as Entrigerish, is an alphabet, and has 27 letters. Strangely enough, the Entrigeri language shares many similarities to Puffish, making many believe that the Entrigeri are related to the Primordialverse and the Primordial Entities in some way or another. Not all Entrigeri texts are written with this language, as shown in

the books able to be bought at The Store. There are 2 variations of the language, with the newer one shown at the top and the older one shown at the bottom.

History

Date	Description
$-10^{100}$ OYC(?)	The Entrigeri first appear out as a species. Very little is known from this period.
$-10^{98}$ OYC(?)	The Entrigeri manage to find Zoid, where they might have copied the Puffish language. The language evolves over time and develops into the Old Entrigeri language, which is used all the way until they create The Store. An Entrigeri joins The Light Tribe.
$-10^{92}$ OYC(?)	The Entrigeri find a small verse known as 100232 and stay there for some time. Many new things have been discovered and created by The Entrigeri, including some of the earliest plasma weapons and Vpom, The Entrigeri currency.
$-10^{87}$ OYC	The Entrigeri are attacked by unknown creatures much more powerful than them. This forces them to flee 100232 and create a small pocket dimension where they hid all the way until they became extinct.
$-10^{80}$ OYC	The Store might have been created during this time. This is the peak of the Entrigeri civilization. The Entrigeri civilization starts to become isolationist.
$-10^{75}$ OYC	The earliest time in which The Seller, the current operator of The Store, could be born.
$-10^{54}$ OYC	After countless OYC, The Entrigeri suddenly disappear, with only 5 Entrigeri being left.
-43 OYC	The first non-Entrigeri creature finds The Store and buys something.
-5 OYC	A strange entity which refers to itself as an Entrigeri create a building very similar to The Store, known as The Supply Store. This Entrigeri was later found out to be a mutated form of a regular Entrigeri.
