   Lawless Kings are massive bestial objects Although described as 'rulers' of the districts they inhabit, Lawless Kings are simply the strongest object in any given wild district, far too large to exist comfortably in most societal districts. Most region's wild districts contain a Lawless King of some kind, excluding the special case of Piper in Ankh. Each Lawless King functions largely different from one another and are left to their own devices.

   Although eight Lawless Kings will be documented and interviewed over the course of Turtleshell's Journal, only the names of six are currently known, Warhammer, Morrigan, Piper, Grilldorah, Pluto and Tigerlily. Two former Lawless Kings are known, Faux and Pilobolus.

   WARHAMMER

   Warhammer is the Lawless King of The Rings, specifically residing in Outer Ring, and the first Lawless King to be interviewed for Turtleshell's Journal. While his main role is, of course, in Turtleshell's Journal, Warhammer serves as a looming presence due to his role as both the leader of Razor's Pack and the father of Razor and her siblings, all of whom serve active roles in the story. His assigned animal is a bear. Almost constantly, Warhammer is on the move, making his way through his territory, which he deems as the entirety of Outer Ring, as he prioritizes defending it from any False Kings that aim to usurp him. On his never-ending journey, Warhammer leaves behind him fallen pine trees marked with his own claw marks, which can be used as a trail if one wishes to locate him, something Turtleshell utilizes in his search for him.

   While it is true that Warhammer is a merciless killer and defender of his territory when need be, he has a surprisingly mellow and calm personality that shines through when he's allowed to be civil. Additionally, he also appears to have quite the large ego, flattered by Turtleshell's questions and desire to interview him in the first place. Warhammer seems to be an excellent parent and leader, as, despite his absence, neither Razor nor any of her pack have ever spoken ill of him. Razor clearly thinks highly of him and is delighted when she gets the chance to discuss him.

   Warhammer has met or is at least aware of most other Lawless Kings, and although he does not particularly mind most of them, some do greatly annoy him. He holds a profound adoration of Piper, deeming her worthy of her title despite her functioning in inner-society. He expresses a deep irritation towards the Lawless King of The Landfill in Wastey Wastes, Pluto, who's continuous intrudes on his territory, despite also ridding the land of husks, contaminate areas of Outer Ring with radiation, leaving some monsters sick. Although Warhammer knows Morrigan, he does not express a distinct opinion on her - simply cautioning Turtleshell to veer away from large crows. He briefly touches on Grilldorah and Tigerlily as well, however, similarly to Morrigan, does not give his own opinion on them.

   Warhammer is also distinctly knowledgeable of the deceased Lawless King of Outskirts, or Old Expanse, Faux. He appears to think of her fondly, reminiscing of her during his interview, and part of what once her body appears to be wrapped around - or even embedded into - his neck. When Turtleshell inquires about her further, Warhammer becomes grief-stricken and sad, and ends the conversation quickly.

   His whereabouts and status during the story are unknown, with his pack declaring him missing

   MORRIGIAN Morrigan is the Lawless King of Silent Neverland, specifically ruling over The Night, and is the second Lawless King to be interviewed for Turtleshell's Journal. Although Morrigan does not reside in The Rings, she takes on a larger role in later. she is capable of surveying and interacting with distant lands with the usage of her crow sentinels due to being multi-present. Morrigan's assigned animal is a crow, and her object is a tree. Despite not being in The Rings, Morrigan is active in the story, something she's capable of doing thanks to her crow "sentinels". Morrigan has what is referred to as a "divisible form", where she can split herself into smaller crows that she is capable of controlling and seeing through. Morrigan can summon these crows whenever she likes, and many of them together are referred to as The Perfect Murder. She uses this ability of hers to survey The Rings from above as the apocalypse rages on, though she is not capable of keeping her eyes on the city during EGSTROM as to not be assimilated.

   Morrigan is a cruel, terrifying and intimidating presence, so much so that even Warhammer himself cautions others to steer clear of her and her crows. She appears to despise her very own offspring, Morrigan actively seeks out her children - for the sole purpose of "squashing them like bugs", in Citrus' words. She's a relentless hunter with thousands of eyes on every region, always searching for more of her offspring to extinguish. In her Turtleshell's Journal entry, it is found out that she has and kills her children in order to feed on them, as objects wandering in the wild district was not enough. Said children often mimicked the appearances of objects from Fort Blanket who were using the spawning stones she had claimed, causing them to in turn be adopted and escape Morrigan. Morrigan is the older sister of Piper, the Lawless King of Ankh. Evidence from Vampiric Gambits suggests that the two sisters are capable of communicating telepathically with one another, able to hold a conversation across regions, Piper in Ankh and Morrigan in The Rings. Morrigan has no known connections to other Lawless Kings. Although Warhammer is aware of her - perhaps even wary - it's unknown if she knows him.

   Outside of her sister, Piper, Morrigan has other family, her children. Similar to most other Lawless Kings, Morrigan has many offspring, the most notable of them, and the only named one at that, being Citrus. Citrus is downright terrified of Morrigan, going out of his way to avoid crows for fear that she'd spot him and seeming on edge around bestial objects with feathers, as they remind him of her. He's seemingly on the verge of a panic attack when she finds him.

   PIPER. Piper is the Lawless King of Dusty Stacks, uniquely residing in the region's societal district, Ankh, and will likely be the third Lawless King to be interviewed for Turtleshell's Journal. While Piper does not reside in The Rings and has no means of interacting with the region directly, she takes on a minor role in later episodes of Objectified: Book One, specifically in Spool and Citrus' story, due to her link with Morrigan. Her object is a driftwood flute. It's likely that Piper's assigned animal is a unicorn.

   Piper has not been fully seen yet, however she maintains her presence in the story as she keeps in touch with her sister Morrigan, through what's presumably a telepathic link with her. Little is known of Piper's personality, as she has few lines of dialogue and any media focusing on her and the region she inhabits has not been produced yet. She is a regal and enchanting figure, presumably well-respected by most, and perhaps one of the most civil Lawless Kings due to her status in a societal district as opposed to a wild one.

   Piper has a task force similar to the military in her King’s Court, a group Gum notably tried to join in her past. It protects Ankh from unruly False Kings who challenge the throne.

   Piper is the younger sister of Morrigan, the Lawless King of The Night. Evidence from Vampiric Gambits suggests that the two sisters are capable of communicating telepathically with one another, able to hold a conversation across regions, Piper in Ankh and Morrigan in The Rings. Piper has little known connections to other Lawless Kings. Although Warhammer expresses a profound adoration of her, it's unclear if she knows him. It's stated by Warhammer in his interview that if Turtleshell wants to know more about Faux, he would have to speak with Piper, suggesting a close connection between the two.

   Outside of her sister, Morrigan, Piper has little known family. All of Morrigan's children are her nieces and nephews, making her Citrus' biological aunt, but it's unknown if Piper herself has any direct descendants. Even if she does, none are known or named at this time.

   TIGERLILY Tigerlily is the Lawless King of Paradise, specifically residing in Wet Wilds. Very little is known of Tigerlily at this current time. It's likely that Tigerlily's assigned animal is a tiger, or at least a feline. Not much is known about Tigerlily, sorry D:

   GRILLDORAH Grilldorah is the Lawless King of Burning Aisles, and the only known Lawless King to rule over two districts, Hoarder's Pyre and Demon's Diner. Their assigned animal is a dragon. She is genderfluid and considered to be both Dragonscale's mother and father.

   As a Lawless King, Grilldorah is not a good parent and appears to be an unpalatable individual in general. She was controlling, possessive and explosive, with a hot temper and a tendency for violence, reminiscent of Dragonscale in earlier episodes. She hurt Dragonscale - deeply so - eventually pushing her to escape to The Rings alongside with her wife. Dragonscale describes their relationship as less of a mother-daughter dynamic and more so as her acting as Grilldorah's servant. She was abusive, and it's unlikely she's changed since her daughter last saw her.

   Grilldorah has one known relative, that being her daughter, Dragonscale. It's likely that she has many more descendants - possibly the many bestial objects seen circling her lair in a flashback

   Objects are a species of different living items with or without faces and limbs. they are given more realistic characteristics akin to actual animals, such as blood and bones, and are categorized into two different subspecies, bestial and hominid. Hominid objects are objects with humanoid limbs. In comparison to bestial objects, hominid objects lack any “unique” traits relating to their biology. Bestial objects are objects with animalistic limbs. The type of animal they are assigned to can influence their behaviour, diet, and more. They can also possess other features from their assigned animal, such as a tail or ears, though these additional features are stated to occur very rarely[1]. Nearly every bestial is recognizable for their digitigradism. Usually, a bestial object has an assigned animal related to the environment they live in, which can either be an existing animal or a mythical creature. Some bestial objects are “hybrids” who have multiple assigned animals, such as Razor who has a wolf/bear assigned animal. A bestial’s assigned animal can change when they are respawned in a different environment.

   Bestial objects with gigantism, like false and lawless kings, contain hormones in their flesh that contribute to their size. These hormones are released by the affected objects as a pheromone dubbed "Fear". The pheromone alters the behaviour of other bestial objects around them, causing them to see the pheromone-producer as a source of extreme authority[2]. The pheromone is theorized to be used in wild districts as a form of intimidation and social dominance. At high concentrations, Fear can induce temporary paralysis, but only in bestial objects[3].

   This hormone can be synthesized into a steroid that provides exceptional recovery to suffering hominids and bestials, but causes bestials to develop side-effects associated with false kings, like increases in muscle and object size and production of the "Fear" pheromone[2]. A faux object is an object descended from the Lawless King Faux. Faux objects have large red eyes with large black pupils, with special natural gifts which decrease in power depending on their ancestral distance from Faux. Objects closely related to Faux often have long bodies, fly, and have curved claws. Far descendants of Faux are more likely to have a special hidden ability that can help them in a survival situation, but are less likely to be aware of it.

   The known faux objects are Faux, of course, Bodypillow, Sticker Sheet, Babs, Mushroom, her mother, Tech, Calamondin, Shibari[4], an unnamed scientist, an unnamed lamp post object and an airplane false king. Bodypillow's natural gift is his ability to hide his true, more avian form, Calamondin’s ability is to hide her various faces, Sticker Sheet's is his ability to hide his eyes, and Mushroom's is her ability to respawn naturally. Children of the Night are a species of objects who can only eat the souls of other living things. They are all direct children of one specific parent, Morrigan, who passes her soul-based diet onto them. Most Children of the Night do not live very long, as Morrigan only spawns them in order to eat them, though some, such as Citrus, manage to escape this fate. Those whose souls are completely eaten by Children of the Night cannot be respawned, while others who manage to survive by having a part of their soul eaten become husks of their former selves, displaying fatigue.

   Some at birth develop disguises to better fit in with the world around them.

   Children of the Night cannot get sick, and their own children will not share their diet.

   A spawning stone is a large rock filled with holes that sits next to a small obelisk structure. Spawning stones are only found in wild districts and are used by wild district objects to reproduce. When 2-10 parents touch the obelisk, children will be spawned inside of the holes of the stone to be collected by the parents. It's stated that using a spawning stone is what's considered a natural birth in this universe, while having one through a respawn terminal is considered to be a less natural but far more prominent birth. three major cell groups that make up any object person. All three of these cell groups begin their life cycle as synthetic cells, which then mutate depending on their role in making up the person. These synthetic cells are cultured in bioreactors and used as printing material in spawning terminals. Animal cells make up the limbs (otherwise known as gateway parts) of objects, regardless of whether they're hominid or bestial.

   When parasites assimilate objects, they often convert them to animal cells. These cells are also used to build the foundation and structure of parasite hives. Synthetic cells make up an object's body. They are sometimes referred to as RGB cells, and also make up the bodies of parasites. Synthetic cells make up an object's body. They are sometimes referred to as RGB cells, and also make up the bodies of parasites.

   All objects' behavior vary due to the enormous diversity between them. Some choose to form relationships and/or have kids, e.g, Brandy, Minty, and Sugarcube. Objects in the wild, specifically bestial objects, are observed hunting each other in the wild districts, but many objects live in cities and societal districts.

   However, due to how Objects are made, sexual reproduction does not actually exist, which also means objects do not have sexual relationships, or sexuality. Objects also have souls. Souls can be a food source for the Children of the Night, and appear as wispy blue mist when consumed, with the only objects seen eating these being Citrus and Morrigan. If their soul gets eaten, they can't be respawned.

   Souls are the main source for an Object's energy. People who have their soul partially taken continually experience a lack of energy and disorientation, and physically have bags under their eyes and pale eyes. However, their soul will regenerate after a long time. All of the major cell groups can regenerate naturally, allowing characters to recover from injuries both to their limbs and to their object body, similar to getting a scab. (E.g. Brandy's liquid self-refilling or Dynamite's cuts healing)

   However, if an object is damaged enough, it can kill the character.

   Upon death, the object's limbs and other appendages will begin to rot, but their main body will remain, and become a husk. This does not happen if they are a food object, upon which their object will decompose as well.
