| ==Description== | |||
| In the first edition only two types were known to exist, the xag-ya and xeg-yi, and the generic term "energon" was not used. These were associated with positive and negative energy, respectively. Energons associated with different types of energy were introduced later. | |||
| Energons appear as incorporeal floating globes with a pair of spots that resemble eyes. A half-dozen to a dozen tentacles protrude from the sphere. Energons look like octopuses when they "swim" through the air. | |||
| ==Types of Energons== | |||
| *'''Xac-Yel''' — Energons associated with fire. | |||
| *'''Xac-Yij''' — Energons associated with acid. | |||
| *'''Xag-Az''' — ] energons that have evolved on the Astral Plane. | |||
| *'''Xag-Ya''' — Energons associated with positive energy. | |||
| *'''Xap-Yaup''' — Energons associated with electricity. | |||
| *'''Xeg-Yi''' — Energons associated with negative energy. | |||
| *'''Xong-Yong''' — Energons associated with sonic. | |||
| *'''Xor-Yost''' — Energons associated with cold. | |||
| ==Spiritovore Energons== | |||
| Spiritovores are a specific subset of energons native to the Positive Energy Plane. These energons tend and feed upon preincarnate souls. Three types have been identified: | |||
| *'''Soulsipper''' — Fishlike energons that mostly feed upon preincarnate souls. | |||
| *'''Soulmarauder''' — Mantalike energons that predate upon other energons. | |||
| *'''Soulscaper''' — Four-armed, humanoid-shaped spiritovores that tend gardens of life force. | |||
