Locations: New Los Angeles, Western territories. Can appear elsewhere depending on plot. Threat Level: Minor Appearance: Small, black-colored creatures with wide, white eyes. They appear to be made entirely of hair and are no larger than the puffball of a dandelion, which they resemble.
Details: Vermini are small, humanoid creatures whose bodies appear similar to living puffballs. Using the hairs on their bodies they can scale walls and move speedily. They are attracted to areas that have experienced distortions in reality, and seem to spring up as if out of nowhere. Currently, they are most common in the areas most devastated by the invasion, such as the western United States. They typically make chirping sounds.
On their own, a single Vermini is less than a threat. However, they can cluster together and form a swarm. Furthermore, a single Vermini can take over a small animal, mutating it into something more dangerous. This causes their victim to mutate, and the resulting creature is often colloquially referred to as a Vermini as well. The host can mutate in a variety of ways, usually becoming violently dangerous, and once a Vermini leaves their body, they revert to normal. When a Vermini is killed, it turns into scalding hot steam.
