The conquering tyrant usuper, is a creature of the hive-mind type, which begins its life inside an egg, in which it is divided from a single reproductive cell fertilized in multiple cells, but instead of joining in a single organism they exist as millions of unicellular organs that behave like the same being.
The egg that is in front of us is called Ru, and is about to be born.
When the mature egg is warmed to room temperature, it melts naturally and it takes its occupants to have their first meal.
The lake that contains them is full of microorganisms that thrive more and more during the summer.

The unicellular individuals that make up Ru, although fragile in appearance, possess a quality that places them at the top of the food chain.
They are capable of generating and controlling viruses.
These viruses carry messages between all their cells and act as weapons to facilitate the hunting of Ru.
The viruses will attack everything that is not Ru and kill him, leaving the cells to digest the corpses.
When Ru cells eat enough they will divide and when the number reaches a certain limit they will begin to function in two types of paracytes, one that infects the animals and one that infects the plants.
The parasite that infects animals will take advantage of the storm season to leave the lake and move inside a puddle mucosa capsule in puddles thanks to strong winds.
Meanwhile the parasite that infects plants infects the local flora.
