Locations: New Los Angeles, Western Territories. Can appear elsewhere depending upon the plot. Threat Level: Dangerous Appearance: Like a Vermedi, appears like a being comprised entirely of hair. Typically four feet tall, with white eyes and needle-like claws. They are humanoid, but lack distinguishing features.
Details: The advanced form of a Vermini, with intelligence equal to that of a human child but possessing no language. They are nominally rarer, but in the environment since the invasion, their numbers have increased in the western territories, and while normally non-violent when left to their own devices, their aggression level is much higher than before.
Vermini have the ability to cause mutations in objects or beings by injecting them with their needle-like fingers. These mutations can be "erased" by damaging the victim with an attack of some kind, upon which they revert without any memory of changing. They are also capable of controlling Vermini to agree and commanding them through mysterious methods.
Despite their limited intelligence, Vermini are as dangerous as any trained fighter or killer, and are both incredibly agile and capable of using their hair like tentacles to ensnare their victims. They are strong enough to easily pierce a human body with their claws.
