- Lucifer Hawk
Lucifer hawks are fictional creatures in the manga series
Silent Möbius .Ecology
Lucifer Hawk are entities that come from the world of Nemesis, although how they travel to this world is not fully known. High-level Lucifer Folk can probably cross the dimensional barriers on their own, and bring lower-level creatures with them. Some Entities may be sent to this world by agents on Nemesis, or summoned to this world by human sorcerers. Entities that are loose on Earth, and that are not under any form of supervision or control (which is usually low level Entities) tend to feed on anything they can catch, which often includes humans.
Appearance
The appearance of a particular Entity depends on how powerful it is. Low level Entities are usually slug-like or snake-like in shape. Others looks like crustations or
arthropods , while some combine aspects of several different creatures. Many Entities seems to have slightly mutable forms, and can change shape to some degree. In general, this seems to manifest as the ability to sprout extra tentacles, mouths and eyes.Entities vary greatly in size; the smallest Entities are about a foot across, the largest are great snakes that are fully 60 feet in length (or longer). Most Mid- to High-level Entities are very large, standing anywhere from 7' in height to well over 12' tall. A full-sized Lucifer Hawk is downright huge, and is at least 15' tall or greater, and very wide, possibly 30' across.
In general, the more powerful a Lucifer Folk, the more humanoid it will look. In Side 2, Grospolina tells Katsumi that Lucifer Folk must "... follow the rules of this world...", which is why they often have such humanoid shapes. The humanoid Lucifer Folk are usually asymmetrical however, having one limb longer than another, or a single leg, mismatched eyes and so on. Limbs are usually very long and some are virtual
tentacle s. Legs, if there are any, are oftendigitigrade in construction. Note that a very powerful Lucifer Folk can shapeshift into a form that resembles a human.Motivation
Low-level Entities are driven by the most basic of needs. They are constantly hungry and do little else than search for food. Mid- and High-Level Entities usually have some sort of purpose or plan, and will work with regards to see that plan completed. Because of the inimical attitudes Entities have towards humans, these plans usually involve work counter to the aims of the AMP or, more importantly in the anime series, retrieve the "key" to Nemesis (aka,
Katsumi Liqueur ).References
