"An autonomously sentient fluid-being from a less alien reality than the prior [other] two -- more like an endless 3d ocean-world"
notes:
The most common form of matter in the worldtree from which these beings come has only a superficial resemblance to matter from our worlds, however. For one thing, nothing has anything analogous to "mass", and the matter behaves under completely alien laws of physics governing the ways in which it forms and reacts. These create complex currents and systems in the infinite resonance environment, and cause a variety of permanent or semi-permanent structures to emerge naturally from the chaos, some of which occasionally develops into self-replicating patterns resembling life, an infinitely smaller sub-percentage of which develops something analogous to sophonce through complex evolutionary processes (further complicated by the multidimensional nature of "time" in these worlds). The creature pictured is one of the latter, of course, an imprecise, analogistic representation of a being that basically consists of self-replicating, time-travelling fluid turbulence patterns.

"manifested waveform -- native of fluidic ranges, a parallel layer of the concrete plane"
'"[Easy to summon, but], (hard) to anchor in our world, -- hardly worth the effort, unlike the radiites"
notes:
Lives in a much more alien, diffuse kind of reality than number '1'. More like a constantly fluctuating entity made of "living sound", a pseudo-stabilized manifold of resonance. Again, this is a rather abstract, imprecise representation of a true form impossible to perceive. No idea if these ones are sapient/parasapient or not.

"Native of a small aphysical paradimension which 'leeches' it's (sic) reality off a worldtree like the multiverse equivalent of a virus -- however, despite "Lovecraftian" preconceptions, they are basically harmless (off scan)"
notes:
'We once flashed brilliantly in that needle-sharp void, no need to breathe in the depths beyond, but human practitioners called us up and drained away our life to put in little bottles and sell as cure-all tonics.'
One of the many natives of the abstract paradimensions that 'infest' the edges of any given worldtree, when we discovered the existence of such worlds we were quick to see the uses of such things. Those of them with more material forms we harvested the inert, exotic-matter corpses of by the thousand and put to use in a thousand different applications, from nonstop war killings to perpetual energy looping to household conveniences and popular entertainment. Those from worlds with less physical forms, however, we were able to bind with the use of certain otherworldly liquids, which allowed them to exist in essence in modified form in our world, to them a strange, utterly deadly place.
