Phlogiston Aphid
Living Being Type	Wildlife
Living Being Family	Other Wildlife
Location	Natlan
A curious creature that loves phlogiston and dances around flames. Just as bees are "brewers" that use pollen, Phlogiston Aphids are also known as "chefs" of phlogiston due to their own special organs — in the eyes of some creatures of Natlan that make use of phlogiston, phlogiston processed by Phlogiston Aphids is simply more delicious. Should there be a large concentration of Phlogiston Aphids gathered somewhere in the wild, that means high-quality phlogiston may be found there. Some "Masters of the Night-Wind" Phlogiston Engravers will raise Phlogiston Aphids specifically to pre-process the phlogiston they use...

Phlogiston Aphid is a type of Wildlife that can be found in Natlan.

Phlogiston Aphids will flee (very slowly) when approached, but will not despawn unless attacked. They will generate 2 Phlogiston Particles if caught, or 1 Phlogiston Particle if killed.

When Varesa is in her Sudden Onrush state or when Iansan is in her Rushing Thunderbolt state, simply touching a Phlogiston Aphid will generate 1 Phlogiston Particle. This will cause it to despawn, but it will respawn after the area is reloaded.

Lore

Phlogiston Aphids have a defense system similar to mollusks; they ingest foreign irritants (such as Abyssal energy) and encase them in layers of Phlogiston, turning them into Phlogiston Honey Pearls. This effectively neutralizes the irritant.

This processing also changes the characteristics of the Phlogiston, making it more desirable for humans and other creatures alike. For instance, humans value Phlogiston Pearls as gemstones for their beauty. Pearls with a deeper red color are considered more valuable.

Trivia

  • Phlogiston Aphids are intelligent enough to use their ability to contain contamination to gradually remove Abyssal corruption from their environment.
