Limbus Company: Enkephalin. LCE (Pre-spider pyre operation)

The City is a massive urban complex the size of a small country, and has a population of around 7 billion. The City is bordered to the south by the Great Lake, and to the other directions by the Outskirts. Underneath it lie the Ruins.

Districts: The City is divided into twenty-six Districts, quite diverse in culture and aesthetics, each of which is governed by a Wing, a corporation that has ascended to claim complete control of said area. All Wings respond to the Head, the supreme governing power of the City. The arrangement of the Districts seems to be static, as there has been no mentioned case of a District expanding into a fallen Wing's territory.

Each District is split into a Nest, a territory directly governed and protected by its Wing, and the Backstreets, expansive spaces of wilderness or slums, largely neglected by the Wings, where the Syndicates of the City run free.

Districts tend to have similarities to their neighbors, and are typically grouped into four sections: the northern, eastern, southern, and western quarters. These quarters may be distinguished by commonalities including culture and temperature, such as the same Fixer Associations differing in garb and fighting style across different quarters, or the northern quarter having colder weather.

The Head: The Head is the leader of the Wings and the central governing body of the City. It is in direct control of A Corp., B Corp., and C Corp., the three Districts at the very center of the City. The Head's identity is completely unknown, although it appears the term refers to a group of people rather than a singular entity; any detail regarding it is a closely guarded secret.

The Head, through A Corp., retains control of the entire City. It is responsible for authorizing Wings, managing patents, and the minting of Ahn, the currency used in the City.

Despite this, it does not typically interfere directly with the affairs of the various Wings in their own Districts; rather, the Head's greatest involvement in the life of the City consists in establishing and enforcing the rules that relate to the overall ethics of the City.

The Head's will shapes the image of the City, as it wields the ability to decide when a part of it no longer fits in the vision, and to chase it outside its confines. Some speculate the Head's decisions in these matters aren't aimed at maintaining order, but rather that the Head wishes to preserve its ideal image of the City, and that for this reason they allow the various Stars of the City to keep existing. This is corroborated by the agents of the Head themselves referring to their work as cultivating the ecology of the City.

To preserve this vision, the Head retains the unique power to assign the highest risk level in the scale of hazards of the City, that of Impuritas Civitatis, or Impurity of the City. The risk level of Impurity signifies a hazard that violates the ethics of the City, and that must be either destroyed or physically expelled from the confines of the City expeditiously.

At a certain point in history, sapient beings that weren't humans were driven out of the City and into the Outskirts, and their existence within the confines of the City was deemed a Taboo. This marked the beginning of the City's "age of humanity". As part of this action, the Head introduced the Artificial Intelligence Ethics Amendment, which established a series of City-wide Taboos against the creation of machines that resembled humans, outlawing the creation of both mechanical copies of a human body and machines with an intelligence comparable to that of humans. Furthermore, a Taboo was established by the Head against the resurrection of a human being. Ultimately, all of these are considered to be unethical pursuits.

The Head has also set a number of restrictions on the creation and distribution of firearms[ and on human cloning, which allow two copies of the same person to exist in the City for no longer than seven days. The Head is also responsible for various other Taboos of the City, such as not paying one's taxes, and violating a residential area during the Night in the Backstreets.

The punishment for breaking any of these Taboos usually involve physical extermination, and for a Wing, the stripping of its qualifications and immediate shutdown. The punishment for violating the Taboos established by the Head is noted to be different from breaking a Taboo of a Nest, which usually involves being chased by a small number of Taboo hunters; breaking a Taboo of the City is believed to be equivalent to a death sentence.

The Head is backed up in its functions by the Eye and the Claw, the two authorities responsible for B Corp. and C Corp. respectively. In enforcing the laws of the City, the three Wings make use of three types of agents: the Arbiters, the Beholders, and the Claws. When handling an Impurity-level threat, these agents are qualified to expel an entity from the City itself and move it into the Outskirts.

Wings and Nests: The Wings of the World are a group of the twenty-six largest, most powerful conglomerates in the City. Each Wing acts as the governing body of a Nest of the City's District, and is commonly referred to with a letter from A to Z, corresponding to the number of the District in their control. Wings generally oversee all facets of living in the Nest of their District, while leaving the residents of the Backstreets to fend for themselves.

A Nest is the urban center of a District, which is under the direct management of its Wing. The citizens and employees of a Wing are commonly referred to as "feathers"; the status of a feather is widely considered one of the best and most secure paths in life, which the people of the Backstreets are often willing to go to great lengths to obtain. To gain access to a Nest, a corresponding Nest migration permit is required, while to be granted temporary passage one must be in possession of a visa unique to the specific Nest. Visas are implied to be relatively common, with corporate employees being provided with work visas that allow them as easy passage; Nest migration permits, on the other hand, are highly sought after, and implied to be expensive enough that even Grade 1 Fixers would struggle to obtain them. During the Smoke War, migration permits were offered as rewards to Fixers participating for K Corp. and I Corp., although by the end of the war the veterans were refused entry to the Nests.

Each Wing has its own cultural style and social structure which are reflected in how it governs its Nest, and the policies that regulate the way of life in the District's Backstreets. The laws of a Wing are called Taboos, and are enforced by specialized Fixers called Taboo hunters that police both the Nest and the Backstreets. While all Wings have Taboos, the enforcement and punishment for breaking them varies.

The Wings are directly ruled over by the Head, which bestows the status on a corporation that possesses and is able to successfully utilize a Singularity, a unique form of technology that is able to break the laws of physics. As such, the Wings closely guard any information about their Singularity, employing military forces from their own ranks or from those of their business partners to avoid losing its secrets to rival Wings, industry competitors, or other forces. If a Wing's technology is stolen, fails commercially, or is viewed unfavorably by the Head, a Wing can collapse, resulting in the Nest losing its protection and being encroached by various factions that vie for its control, such as the Syndicates of the Backstreets. After a Wing collapses, a different corporation can attempt to ascend to the status of a Wing for that District.

Backstreets: The Backstreets are the areas of a District that lay outside the Wing's domain. The Backstreets are typically slums crowded with buildings, characterized by twisted and irregular roads, although there can be great differences between Districts.

Wings have differing degrees of presence, influence, and benevolence with regards to their Backstreets, although their relationship is ultimately exploitative. Citizens of the Backstreets are motivated to move up the ladder and into the Nests, while citizens of the Nests are motivated to maintain their statuses and preserve a more comfortable life under their Wing's protection. While not as secure as the Nest, residential areas are the safest parts of the Backstreets.

Given how strongly Backstreets denizens wish for a life in the Nest, Wings tend to uphold strict divides between the sectors, including security checkpoints and physical divisions. Security of borders between Nests and Backstreets vary from plasma walls to mere chain fences, but the Wings' power is such that no one in the Backstreets dares to cross over into a Nest without express permission.

As the Backstreets are not under the control and protection of the Wings, and even the Head's power struggles to reach within them, various factions operate freely in their place. The Backstreets are home to the headquarters of both Fixers, a type of mercenary for hire, who typically operate their Offices in the Backstreets, and organizations and gangs called Syndicates. Among Syndicates, the most important are the Five Fingers, the five largest Syndicates of the City which most other Syndicates answer to, and whose power is said to rival that of the Wings.

The Night in the Backstreets is another defining component of Backstreets life, as an 80 minute phenomena taking place from 3:14 to 4:34 AM. During this time period, nearly everything is allowed, as no one is held responsible for their deeds done during this time period. It is considered a brazenly savage, brutal, and vulgar period, even for the City. Beings known as Sweepers routinely become active during the Night in the Backstreets, and sweep through the streets in waves in order to consume any objects and structures located outside of permitted residential buildings, erasing all evidence of crime.

The Night in the Backstreets are regulated by only two Taboos: that residential areas mustn't be destroyed or violated in any way, including forcing the doors open, and that nothing which occurs during the Night in the Backstreets is recorded. The only form of testimony allowed during the Night in the Backstreets are direct eyewitnesses; even then, it is a Taboo mandated by the Head that no activity during this period are to be reported on. While the rules of the Night in the Backstreet don't apply to the Nest, it's viable to drag a Nest citizen into the Backstreets and dispose of them in this manner.

FIxers and Associations: In the City, a common path in life for those without better options is that of the Fixer. A Fixer is a sort of handyman, who can be hired for everything from menial tasks to active combat. Fixers are subject to a grading system based on the missions they complete. A Fixer starts at Grade 9 and can be promoted to a higher grade, all the way up to 1; in the case of a Fixer being caught breaking work regulations, they can lose their status and be demoted to a lower grade.

A majority of Fixers congregate in Fixer Offices, small to mid-sized businesses led by and composed of Fixers. Offices process requests dedicated to whomever in their ranks may be best suited. Offices can work independently, or they can be associated with particular Associations of Fixers, which are larger professional organizations with City-wide influence, with particular interests aimed at the Fixers working beneath them.

There are thirteen Associations in the City, each of which manages certain types of requests common to Fixer work, such as the Zwei Association focusing on protection missions, or the Devyat' Association focusing on delivery across the City. Associations control and distribute Fixer tasks, and can take jobs from anywhere within the City, as they have individual branches set up in various Districts. Branches are divided into four groups corresponding to the cardinal directions of the City, and employees are further divided by grade into sections ranging from 1 to 6, with lower number sections corresponding to higher Fixer grades.

Every Association has its own rules, specialties, uniform, and agreements with other factions. The Associations are governed by the Hana Association, which oversees everything related to the Fixer system, including Fixer grades.

In the case of a Grade 1 Fixer demonstrating great renown in any particular field of work, they may be considered beyond the grading system, and receive the title of Color from Hana Association as a way to signify their exceptional skill. Color Fixers can keep working in their Offices, or be contracted by a company. They are admired throughout the City, and it is a common belief that the life of a Color is one of true freedom. Despite this, Color Fixers are still bound to the regulations of Hana Associations and of the Head, and due to their ability they're often made to handle the most dangerous hazards of the City.

City People: Everyday life in the City is defined by a constant struggle to stay afloat. While the people of the Outskirts dream of living in the City, which they see as a safe place from the monsters that plague it, the people of the Backstreets strive to gain the wealth and power to gain access to a Nest, partially due to the influence of the Wings publicizing Nest dwellers' lives as the height of prosperity and comfort, and the people of the Nest struggle daily to keep their place inside it, while being constantly exploited by the Wings.

Regardless of their station, the people of the City are never free, and in order to survive, they typically tie themselves to various forms of organizations, seeking security and belonging in something larger than them. In doing so, they're willing to exploit others beneath them and make use of all the City can offer them, without caring about anyone else's well-being, and often taking pleasure in their suffering.

The people of the Backstreets must typically tie themselves to one of the Five Fingers or their subsidiaries to receive the necessary protection to carry on with their lives, while the people of the Nests depend on the Wings to shelter them. Because of this, Nest dwellers are colloquially known as "feathers". While the high level of security the Nest provides makes it the most ideal place to reside, its daily routine, which is often accompanied by overtime work and the constant fear of losing one's job and place in the Nest, can be stifling and oppressive to many of its citizens, with some recalling becoming listless as if they "lost focus, spacing out and staring into empty places".

The necessity for a connection to a group also means that the people of the City try not to form strong connections between individuals, as personal bonds can become a hindrance in one's abilities in the case of a loved one's death, which proves to be especially dangerous for those involved in Fixer work. The Cityfolk are still generally accustomed to such events, and it is not considered uncommon for them to swiftly move on by searching for a substitute.

In general, death, including mass casualties, is a common occurrence in the City. People all over the City are greatly accustomed to this, to the point even cases of 80,000 casualties are considered, while distressing, not particularly shocking, and not important enough to require special attention unless they happen to be within a Nest. Due to the frequency of such events, Cityfolk must learn to hide their grief and deal with it quickly, reflecting on the practice of funerals being uncommon in the City. Backstreets dweller instead typically let the bodies of the deceased be taken away during the Night in the Backstreets, to avoid the grave be desecrated by robbers looking to steal valuables of prosthetics from the body.

Furthermore, the availability of technologies such as prosthetic substitution, the ability to quickly reconstruct flesh, and Life Insurance in many ways trivialize pain and death itself for those who can afford it, leaving their users insensitive to such dangers.

These factors have led to the people of the City becoming apathetic and uncaring of other people's suffering, living without allowing themselves to truly feel their emotions and wishes, and lacking the curiosity to learn about the world they inhabit and the technologies they make use of every day, instead preferring to shut out reality altogether whenever possible.

Syndicates: Syndicates are a type of organization in the City, and can be seen as the unregulated counterpart to Fixer Offices, being comparable to gangs with various goals and methods of operating. In general, the term Syndicate is used to refer to organized groups that aren't tied to the responsibilities and restrictions that come with being a Fixer.

Some Syndicates focus on extorting money from people for protection, while others abduct people, kill for fun and pleasure, or do anything in between. Syndicates mostly operate in the Backstreets, but are not restricted to them. They can be small groups that only exist in one corner of the Backstreets, or large enough to exist in every District in the City.

Syndicates can be hired to do contract jobs, although there is higher risk compared to contracting an Office or Association, as they are not bound to the same regulations Fixers are. Sometimes, Wings will hire Syndicate members for criminal projects that cannot be handled officially.

Syndicates tend to have a culture unique to their group, and a way of living that distinguishes them from other Syndicates. Many Syndicates have a culture focused around replicating family dynamics and consider each other family, with some even referring to each other with familial terms. This can result in Syndicates with a strict focus on respect for those who are higher ranked, or in Syndicates whose members care deeply for each other and protect one another at any cost.

Syndicates are graded through the City's hazard system, measuring their danger level and notability. Syndicates can grow under these aspects and gain power in many ways, with one of them being the practice of raiding and wiping out Fixers' Offices. The larger and more experienced an Office is, the greater the notoriety that is achieved by defeating it.

Above all Syndicates are the Five Fingers, or "the hand of the Backstreets", five Star of the City-level Syndicates, whose power rivals that of the Wings. Each of the Five Fingers has a distinct culture, and demands different things from people seeking protection under them. Other Syndicates can become subsidiaries of the Five Fingers, granting them powerful connections as long as they abide by the Finger's orders.

Singularities: A Singularity is a unique, fantastical technology that a Wing possesses and exploits for power and profit. The details of a Wing's Singularity are a closely guarded secret, but its products (such as L Corp.'s Enkephalin or H Corp.'s Boluses) and side effects (such as T Corp.'s color desaturation) tend to be widespread throughout the District and play a major role in defining its culture.

While Singularities' true abilities are usually incredibly powerful, a Wing must convert them into a marketable product in order to make a profit. Singularities are the primary source of income for the Wings to sustain themselves in the harsh environment of the City, meaning creating new products from the same Singularity is incredibly important. For example, T Corp. makes use of its Singularity for various products, such as the TT2 Protocol (which allows for the control of time in a determined area), and the TT4 Protocol (which instead allows for the synchronization of different individuals' time).

In addition, Wings must be careful during the development process of new Singularities, to prevent information leaks and intellectual theft before a patent is received. It is also common for Wings to make use of multiple Singularities, both by purchasing them from fallen Wings, or through partnering with other existing Wings.

If a Wing collapses, the patents on its Singularity expire and any individual or group who discovers how to utilize the technology may do so. In addition, the technology's status as a Singularity is lost. A number of technologies of the City were previously considered Singularities in the past, such as augmentation tattoos. Singularities, while technological marvels, are not all they're made out to be. In one way or another, every Singularity fundamentally requires human suffering in order to function, and no Wing can claim to have their hands clean of the blood of its citizens.

Abnormalities: Abnormalities are, as their name suggests, a type of abnormal entity that can be used to generate power. Each is given a classification via letters and numbers, as well as a nickname based on their appearances and abilities. Abnormalities cannot die, and can only be temporarily suppressed. After suppression, they revert into their core, an ovate form that will hatch once enough time has passed.

classified Abnormalities by their Risk Level: ZAYIN, TETH, HE, WAW, or ALEPH. An Abnormality's Risk Level represented the amount of Enkephalin it could produce and the danger it posed to L Corp. personnel. The danger level of Abnormalities range from harmless and beneficial to catastrophic and fatal. Limbus Company adapts L Corp.'s Risk Level classifications, adding a numerical value as an estimate of the Abnormality's strength alongside its Risk Level. Additionally, each Abnormality is assigned a unique identifying classification code.

LCE: The Limbus Company Enkephalin Department, or LCE, serves as the company's research and development team. They involve themselves with the study and classification of captured Abnormalities, Distortions, and Peccatula, along with E.G.O extraction and the workings of the Monolith. The team is stationed within Limbus Company's headquarters, and a portion of the LCE staff wear extracted E.G.O Gear on the regular.

The team functions similarly to Lobotomy Corporation, containing and handling Abnormalities, producing Enkephalin and E.G.O from them, and combating the creatures whenever containment breaches occur. However, it prioritizes research over energy generation, and the department's E.G.O Gear takes a slightly different form than that of L Corp.'s. Specifically, their E.G.O Gear "exhibits more of each source Abnormalities' idiosyncracies” as a result of the company’s alternative extraction method.

Enkephalin: "Enkephalin", a substance extracted from Abnormalities whenever they feel satisfied. Enkephalin was typically manufactured by isolating Abnormalities into Containment Units and providing stimulation through interactions such as play, conversation, or violence. The refined version of the substance appears as a green liquid kept in EBoxIcon.png PE-Boxes, but Enkephalin can be kept in a gaseous form depending on the extraction method.

LCE E.G.O: LCE E.G.O refers to the E.G.O extracted and utilized by Limbus Company's LCE department. It is largely comparable to Lobotomy E.G.O in way of its form and function, given that the LCE aims to copy and surpass much of the fallen Lobotomy Corporation's work.[ Like L Corp., the gear is composed of Weapons and Suits. However, there are still distinguishing features.

LCE E.G.O allows for a higher rate of attunement and synchronization with the relevant Abnormality, which can be deliberately achieved through extending understanding and empathy towards it. This allows for more impressive benefits than L Corp. had been able to achieve with its E.G.O, such as flight and shape fluctuation. Additionally, LCE E.G.O gear can cause its user to sprout inhuman features like tails.

E.G.O. Gifts: E.G.O Gifts, apart from direct extraction methods, Abnormalities can also provide trinkets or even their own body parts to employees they fancy. These presents are collectively known as E.G.O Gifts , and will either permanently integrate into the employee’s anatomy or form an attachment with the Agent that makes them reluctant to cast the gift off. Though E.G.O Gifts are of a lesser degree than regular E.G.O Equipment, they are still a part of the egos of the Abnormalities they originated from, and carry the same risk of mental deterioration if too many Gifts are taken by an Agent.

E.G.O Corrosion: E.G.O borrowed from an Abnormality possesses one major drawback in the possibility of losing one's self to the equipment. This phenomena is known as E.G.O Corrosion, where the user's appearance and behavior transform to reflect the personality and destructive nature of the Abnormality the E.G.O originated from. While the synchronization between the E.G.O and its user represents the key advantage of E.G.O over other City gear, it also allows for the user to have their ego overridden by it. If insufficient in mental strength, they may "fuse" with the equipment when lacking in the personal virtues of Prudence, Fortitude, Temperance, or Justice (as measured in Lobotomy Corporation) required to stave off the metamorphosis.

During the process of using E.G.O, the individual will hear the voice of the Abnormality it had come from. To "corrode" is to allow the voice and its mindset to take over, replacing the user's ego with its own. Alongside the loss of self, corroding eventually incites a physical transformation. The speed at which an individual corrodes is tied to their mental state, or ability to fight off the Abnormality's attempt to override the E.G.O user. These cases may be easily combated by removing the E.G.O gear, or for LCE E.G.O, lowering one's level of attunement.

Hohenheim is the chief researcher working for Limbus Company as part of the LCE Department.

Hohenheim is a spindly man with unkempt blue hair, gray eyes, and round glasses. In the present, he most often holds a tired, neutral expression with prominent dark circles under his eyes and stubble. He wears an iteration of the AEDD E.G.O Suit extracted by Limbus Company's LCE Department and sourced from the Abnormality Shock Centipede. The suit features a high collar and two large belts fastening the front. Large glowing blue nails sparking electricity are on the E.G.O Suit's shoulders and lower portion. Beneath the coat, he wears a black turtleneck, dress shirt, slacks, gloves, and a blue tie. Typical of his department, he wears an LCE armband on his left arm.

Hohenheim is blunt and straightforward, often making arrogant and haughty remarks without consideration of others—making him disliked by most. Concurrent with his arrogance, Hohenheim is vastly intelligent, being a high-ranking researcher both past and present. He is said to have a "highly irresponsible level of curiosity," putting both his safety and the safety of others after his desire to experiment and gain results. Despite his apparent callousness, he carries deep grief and survivor's guilt from his past at Lobotomy Corporation. To cope, he suppresses his emotions and covers them with an exaggerated act of his usual brash behavior. However, his anguish is expressed—even unintentionally—by his generally disheveled appearance and disregard for self-preservation.

Alyssa is an assistant researcher working for Limbus Company as part of the LCE Department.

Alyssa is a woman with long red hair, featuring blunt bangs, tied into two pigtails, fastened by small flames associated with the E.G.O Suit she is wearing, as well as red eyes. She wears a dark red suit that extends into flickering flames at the ends of the tailcoat and sleeves, overtop a glowing orange suit jacket. Beneath her suit jacket is a red tie atop a dark suit. Typical of her department, she wears an LCE armband on her left arm.

Like her coworkers, Alyssa is a dedicated researcher focused on furthering the studies of the LCE Department. She is a casual, collected, and reliable individual who has a habit of making witty comments. Compared to Marton, Alyssa's personality appears to align more with Hohenheim's, with her leaning into humor and aloofness as a means to get through emotionally taxing situations. She doesn't carry herself with as much boldness, as while Alyssa is willing to criticize her boss, she commits to these moments less than Marton. Alyssa also possesses a surprisingly strong sense of justice, able to swallow her own struggles in favor of supporting her department but growing averse toward the mistreatment of others. Despite being a little more prone to outbursts than her coworkers, Alyssa is just as caring and loyal, willing to sacrifice herself for others when worse comes to worst. Near the end of Canto IX, she is also described as stronger than the people around her might think.

Marton is an assistant researcher working for Limbus Company as part of the LCE Department.

Marton is a tall man with dark blue hair worn in a parted manner and amber eyes. He is seen wearing an E.G.O Suit extracted from the Abnormality Faelantern, one featuring a dark overcoat made of a wooden surface with many eyes sprouting from the lower half, accompanied by a sprout that acts as a perch for the fairy associated with the Abnormality and E.G.O. Beneath his overcoat, he wears a gray suit jacket over a black suit paired with a blue tie. Atop his head, he wears two small twigs resembling horns. Typical of his department, he wears an LCE armband on his left arm.

Like his coworkers, Marton is a dedicated researcher focused on furthering the studies of the LCE Department. He is a steadfast, collected, and reliable individual who demonstrates great loyalty toward his company and associates. Compared to Hohenheim and Alyssa, Marton appears more cynical and less proud, without as much of the aloofness and wit the other two carry themselves with. When he does quip, his delivery is rather deadpan.

Marton is also clearly caring and observant, but does not let it get in the way of his duties. Rather, these traits appear to help him mesh with Hohenheim, who is often in need of someone to call him out on his deceptively emotional drivel. Furthermore, Marton proves himself to be a quick thinker with a good grasp on what needs to be done. When it came down to it, his considerate and logical personality was what managed to save Hohenheim's life and allow power to be restored to the facility when it was desperately needed.

Dream-Devouring Siltcurrent (T-02-21-06) is a WAW-class Abnormality encountered during LCB Golden Bought expedition. It was previously contained in the L Corp. branch in U Corp. before the whole facility was swallowed by the Pallid Whale.

Dream-Devouring Siltcurrent has the appearance of a giant abyssal fish with many cracked fluorescent turquoise light tubes sticking out of its back. All parts of its body are either the same fluorescent turquoise or a shade of blue-greenish black. It has no eyes, and its body is dominated by a giant mouth that spans more than two-thirds of its length. It has a second mouth immediately below the first.

When in battle, it has the ability to change its environment to become underwater. It also has the ability to swim in solid surfaces. The light tubes on its back additionally allows itself and others to breathe underwater. It is the source of the E.G.O. Blind Obsession.

Faelantern (F-04-21-03) is a TETH-class Abnormality that was at some point captured by Limbus Company and contained at their headquarters for research and E.G.O extraction.

Faelantern is an ancient tree (estimated to be over 100 years old in its Observation Log) lacking any foliage. While it is buried, only its two barren branches can be seen protruding from the ground. A small teal fairy is attached to its lower branch, acting as a lure. It is unknown whether this fairy is a living being, or a facsimile puppeteered by the branches.

If its fairy lure is destroyed, it will partially emerge from the ground. It has a deep-reaching root system which it uses to attack any opponents or victims that are fooled by its lure. An innumerable amount of yellow eyes can be seen peeking out from gaps in the base of the tree and roots.

When the body is broken, a yellow sap can be seen leaking out from it. It is also able to regenerate the fairy after it is broken. It is the source of E.G.O. Latern.

Ardor Blossom Moth (O-01-20-07) is a WAW-class Abnormality that was at some point captured by Limbus Company and contained at their headquarters for research and E.G.O extraction.

Ardor Blossom Moth has the appearance of a moth that is completely made of fire.

It has bright yellow eyes, long skinny legs, and a large abdomen. The tips of its wings end in wild flames. It is the source of the E.G.O. Ardor Blossom Star.

Shock Centipede (T-02-11-04) is a HE-Class Abnormality encountered during LCB Golden Bough expedition.

After being suppressed by Limbus Company, it was captured by them and contained at their headquarters for research and E.G.O extraction.

Shock Centipede is a giant centipede with a blue metal plating covering its body acting as armor. It has six glowing red eyes, and two sets of mandibles, as well as a pair of long tendrils (possibly antennae) attached to the face that extend back towards its body. The Abnormality has innumerable sharp blade-like legs.

Multiple nails can be seen jutting out from its armor, with a pronounced pair of nails jutting out from its tail. Destroying the tail in battle reveals wiring inside, suggesting the Abnormality may be of a mechanical nature.

Shock Centipede is capable of producing high-voltage electricity. During battle it is able to use the electricity it produces to keep itself alive when taking lethal damage. It is the source of the E.G.O. AEDD.

Wayward Passenger (T-02-21-07) is a HE-class Abnormality that was at some point captured by Limbus Company and contained at their headquarters for research and E.G.O extraction.

Wayward Passenger is a humanoid entity wearing the standard uniform for W Corp. cleanup agents. It has a grotesque and disfigured appearance, with a long mouth-like cavity extending from the middle of its face all the way down to its lower abdomen. The sides of its maw are lined with irregular jagged teeth, and thin fleshy tendrils can be seen protruding out from it.

Its neck and head lack skin, being composed entirely of muscle fibers. A pair of bloodshot eyes loosely sit in its eye sockets, carrying a vacant stare.

Its arms appear to have been ripped from its shoulders, leaving behind tendrils sticking out in its place. It instead has a pair of arm-like appendages made of muscle fibers protruding out from its shoulder blades. These arms each have an energy blade protruding from the wrist. During combat, Wayward Passenger is seen using these blades to open dimensional rifts allowing it to hide away and strengthen itself. It is the source of the E.G.O. Dimensional Shredder.

Ebony Queen's Apple (F-04-03-04) is a WAW-class Abnormality encountered during LCB Golden Bough expedition.

After being suppressed by Limbus Company, it was captured by them and contained at their headquarters for research and E.G.O extraction.

Ebony Queen's Apple is a tall humanoid with a pale white apple for a head. Its head lacks eyes, with most of the face being taken up by a pair of thin nostril-like apertures. The apple also possesses a mouth with exposed teeth. From the Observation Logs and in-game battle, it is seen that Ebony Queen's Apple is able to function without a head and is able to regrow it should it be destroyed. The Observation Logs further show that it is capable of telepathic communication.

The Abnormality wears a long purple gown, accompanied by a black cape that is attached via a purple brooch on its neck. The collar around its neck appears to made from pale, withered leaves. Its arms are in a similar state, being made of thin stems. A mass of withering roots can be seen coming out from beneath its dress. It is the source of the E.G.O. Ebony Stem.

kqe-1j-23 (O-05-20-02) is a HE-class Abnormality encountered during LCB Golden Bough expedition.

kqe-1j-23 is a tall, lanky humanoid that appears to be composed of sinews and mechanical parts. Various parts of the Abnormality are covered by a metal casing, most notably the head, shoulders and hands. Some of these casings are outfitted with pink lights. There are also green circuit boards that are directly attached to the Abnormality's muscle. Several stray wires can be seen sticking out haphazardly from the Abnormality especially from the hands, giving them appearance of long, slender fingers.

It is also seen to possess the ability to extend a long arm from its chest that bursts upwards into the ceiling. While up in the ceiling, the arm seems to be connected to a large robotic claw that reaches back down, similar to a claw machine. The claw is accompanied by thinner arms that are fitted with blades and grabbers that will attack opponents held captive by the claw.

Heart of the Townsfolk is a bundle of blue and red wires (giving the appearance of veins) that are covered by a transparent mechanical film. It is brought down by the claw when an opponent dodges its attack, and acts as a weak point to kqe-1j-23. It is the source of the E.G.O. Move-in Reg.
