Entropics, also called “evil spirits” by the Sanctifiers,[1] are monstrous carriers of the Entropy virus. The virus targets the environment and the Agents of Magrasea. After entering an Agent, the virus starts infecting it, first locking its consciousness at Level III, then entirely rewriting its base code, transforming it into a new Entropic at the end of the process[2] called “Entropization.”[3] Entropics will charge Agents mindlessly to spread the infection[4] through wounds. Contact with Entropy Liquid also spreads the virus.[5] Entropic enemies are classified in Low-Order, Mid-Order and High-Order Entropics, defining their chain of command[6] and the purity of their source code.[7]
The Entropy virus is extremely mutable once it enters a host. Because of this, it is not possible to develop a strong defense against the virus from analyzing a lower-order Entropic, the very source of the virus must be analyzed for this. This ability also let Entropics traverse firewalls and even the Professor's Sandbox Barrier effortlessly[8] and Trojans attacks are also ineffective due to the chaotic structure of Entropic data.[9]
Sanctifiers have been fighting Entropics ever since their creation,[1] granting Intermediate Sanctifiers a measure of resilience against the virus.[3] In the Magrasea backup, the Sanctifiers have established a border battlefront to keep the Entropics at bay, first under the command of Eosphorous, then of Hesperus. In 2063, the situation at the border worsened and Hesperus had to request reinforcements just as new Entropics appeared in Sector Pierides[10] under Malkira's influence, and later in Sector Copley.[11]
High-Order Entropics
High-Order Entropics are also called Arbiters, and compete for supremacy over the Entropics.[11]
Low-Order Entropics
Corrupted Agents
