Aragami



An Aragami (荒神 "violent god") is a colony of hundreds of thousands of cells uniting under a cell core. These cells, called "Oracle Cells", are the only type of cell in an Aragami forming flesh, blood and bone all the same. Oracle cells have a devouring nature which caused them to spread and devour everything in their path. However, Oracle cells do not evolve like normal cells do; in fact, each Oracle cell in existence is exactly the same as it was before the outbreak.

Each Aragami has a "core", from which all the Oracle cells in the Aragami are controlled. The core is the command center over the entire colony while the individual groups of cells form working parts of the entity such as an eye, fang, or tail. The only way to truly kill an Aragami is to extract the core, thus making all the normal cells lose their cohesion. The only weapon capable of doing this (whilst still being portable) is the God Arc, which removes it by "devouring" the Aragami. is the God Arc, which removes it by "devouring" the Aragami.

Generally violent in nature, Aragami only crave to consume.This is how they can adapt and evolve to fit new surroundings; they can devour native scenery and Aragami in the area until the Aragami's cells adapt to the conditions. This is a mutation that results in different Aragami of the similar relation. Notably, the Aragami seem to be starting to evolve in new ways: some newer Aragami are starting to resemble humans.
