Animalcule

An Animalcule (Latin for little animal) is an an artificially created animal/monster brought into existence by alchemy and or sorcery. They are mindless soldiers for the Apotheosis Initiative.

The Apotheosis Initiative were unable to replicate natural monster's ability to sense demigods; but in 2024 they tracked down Lamia and convinced her to cast a spell granting Animalcules that ability.

Chupacabra
Spanish for goat-sucker this race of vampire-like reptilian Animalcule was invented in the 1990's.

Class E
The weakest class of all. Demons. Animalcule of this class aren't very strong or smart but they can be very violent. Their strength is just above that of the average human. This makes them comparable with a low-tier demigod with zero training.

Class D
The second to lowest class. Like E-class Animalcule, they usually aren't very intelligent or exceptionally powerful. Their strength and endurance is super-human compared to an average human. However, compared to most monsters they are very weak.

Class D Animalcule can fight as equals against well-trained low-tier demigods or untrained mid-tier demigods but are inferior to trained mid-tier or untrained high tier demigods

but can be overcome relatively easily by mid to high tier demigods.

Class C
Class C Animalcule can easily overpower low-tier demigods, fight as equals against mid-tier demigods; and be overcome relatively easily by high-tier demigods.

Class A
A-Class are the highest class (the pinnacle of power). A-Class Animalcule can defeat any demigod in single-combat; it requires a group of high-tier demigods working together to defeat an A-Class Animalcule. Fortunately S-Class animalcule are the hardest to produce and therefore the rarest
