Biography
The Waurmos are the Hive’s collectors, consuming the bodies and souls of enemies to convert them into energy. Among them, Zoran emerged after consuming a passionate soul, which sparked his identity. He called himself the Self‑Founded.
Recognizing that other Waurmos could also develop personalities, he began fostering their strength and independence within the Hive. Zoran’s leadership and teachings have garnered the attention of the Dragonfly King, who allows these efforts — for now.
