The Malformed (Project Harmonia)

The Malformed are a group of reality-defying creatures that are a threat to all who live in Musia.

Hierarchy
There is a hierarchy of sorts within the Malformed.


 * Original Malformed are the strongest among the Malformed, and their power is such that they themselves are unable to control it. They are considered to be the progenitors of all other Malformed. Killing one is like denying its very existence, and killing all of them erases the alterations caused by the lesser-ranking Malformed entirely. There are only six of them known to exist.
 * Imperial Malformed are the second-strongest, and, in terms of video games, can be considered "bonus bosses" who only appear before those worthy of their presence. There are twenty Imperial Malformed. It is not known if they possess multiple forms, though if they do, they've never needed it – the weakest Imperial Malformed is at least twice as strong as the strongest among the True Malformed.
 * True Malformed are the main leaders of the Malformed forces. Each one has exactly seven Majestic Malformed serving under it. There are only thirteen True Malformed, and each of them has at least two forms; by the Harmonians, these are referred to as "Classes", starting at Base, then EX, then a "+" for each form thereafter.
 * Each Majestic Malformed has command over four Elite Shock Malformed.
 * The Elite Shock Malformed command all of the;lower-ranked Malformed.
 * The Rare Malformed are one of the four groups led by the Elite Shock Malformed.
 * The Shock Malformed are one of the four groups led by the Elite Shock Malformed.
 * The Tribal Malformed are one of the four groups led by the Elite Shock Malformed.
 * The Lesser Malformed are one of the four groups led by the Elite Shock Malformed.

Abilities
All Malformed defy reality in some way; as such, nothing about them make any sense - not even their genders, their ages, or their elements.

All Majestic Malformed and higher-ranked can generate a mysterious, plant-like life form known as "Death Blossoms". However, while the Majestic Malformed can only generate those in one colour (with Dracoblossom being the exception), True Malformed, Imperial Malformed and Original Malformed can generate any kind of Death Blossom that they desire.

All Majestic and higher-ranked Malformed are also capable of twisting reality around them - for example, an office building might become a volcanic area where the lava flows upwards.

Some high-ranking Malformed are capable of separating into separate bodies, and merging with each other again. These separate bodies have "Part" appended to their ranks.

All Malformed bear immunity to the harmful abilities of other Malformed, so they can, for instance, safely come into contact with Death Blossoms.

Known Malformed

Trivia

 * The Malformed were inspired not only by the Dragons from the 7th Dragon video games, but also by the Twisted in The 3rd Birthday.
