[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 9576358, member: 6779196"] I don’t know a lot about Limbo, but is it supposed to be “pure chaos” in the sense that it’s impossible to predict anything that goes on there, or is it supposed to be “pure chaos” in the sense that it is in a state of complete non-differentiation? Or in some other sense? At any rate, my understanding of the Far Realm is that it’s a place outside the multiverse. An alternate reality, which operates by different rules that are so alien to the denizens of the multiverse as to be incomprehensible. Its own denizens also often seem to be able to alter the multiverse and its inhabitants in various ways, either through psionic power or mutation, or both. So, I tend to think of aberrations (the ones that are actually from the far realm at least) as terraformers. They’re doing what they do because they’ve traveled to another multiverse that isn’t naturally suitable to sustain their brand of life, and use their powers (which may or may not be “sufficiently advanced technology”) to transform its environment into one more suited to their needs. A mind flayer, for example, is essentially a far-realm-terraformed humanoid. A little alien slug used their body as a sort of biological EVA suit, while mutating it from the inside out to turn it into a more suitable vessel for the slug’s needs. [/QUOTE]
