Naberius (
Overview
A Demon made by stitching together multiple Ghouls for use in fighting Demons, the making of the Naberius is an ancient, forbidden technique that has long since been sealed away due to the fear of the Demon running amok, which in turn stems from the many cases in which the Naberius could no longer be kept tame.[2] A Naberius thrives in darkness, where it is able to release its full power.[3] The fatal verse for the Naberius, as with other Ghoul-type Demons, lies within the Gospel of John.[4] Specifically, for the Naberius that attacked during the Exwire exam, John 21:25, the last verse of the Gospel.[5]
Appearance
Naberius come in a variety of forms since they consist of patched together corpses. These forms can vary wildly in size from the size of a single limb, to towering over ordinary humans.
While they vary in form, all Naberius share a few common traits, namely, a unnatural pallor and multiple stitches covering their bodies.
Powers and Abilities
Necrotic Seepage: The fluid secreted by a Naberius is extremely toxic and, if left untreated, causes the body to enter necrosis.[6] If in a dark area, the Naberius is able to secrete much more toxic fluid, being shown capable of spraying a mass amount in every which direction.[7] The treatment for the burns caused by this fluid is aloe.[8]
Enhanced Strength: With one hand, a Naberius is able to pick up someone the size of Rin Okumura and throw them with enough force to completely shatter doors.[9]
Enhanced Speed: Naberiuses are, despite their large size, deceptively fast.[10]
Enhanced Durability: A Naberius is extremely durable, as one was shown to be able to take many gunshot wounds from Yukio Okumura and still be able to flee.[11]
Human Speech: Although it is typically impossible for Ghouls to speak due to their status as possessed corpses,[12] if one is a high enough class, a Naberius may retain the ability to make use of its vocal cords, thereby allowing it to speak, albeit brokenly,[13] as well as laugh.[14]
Trivia
- Naberius likely take their name from a Marquis of the same name who appears in the Lesser Key of Solomon.
