The Pyrovile


Home Planet: Pyrovilia

Life Form: Living Rock


With a stone skin held together by living magma, their shape resembles Roman Gladiators. Their ship fell to Earth thousands of years ago, shattering them into dust. The 62 AD caused by Vesuvuis re-awakened them, and they possessed human host in nearby Pompeii. These hosts helped the few adult Pyroviles who had survived to construct an energy conversion matrix to use Vesuvius's lava to conquer Earth and power the conversion of the whole human race into adult Pyroviles, to replace their lost homeworld of Pyrovilia, which, according to Lucius (a Roman Augur working for the Pyroviles), was "lost". Throwing water over them is fatal, since it causes their magma to cool. They are also capable of breathing fire; their breath is shown as powerful enough to incinerate a human in seconds. The Pyroviles were supposedly destroyed in the AD 79 eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
