Awesome fictional characters.

Hanse Davion, "The Fox." From Battletech. The dynamic ruler of the powerful, neo-feudal Federated Suns in the 31st century.

Hanse Davion (2983 – 17 June, 3052, aged 69 years) was the First Prince of the Federated Suns from 3013 until his death in 3052. He was the second child of Prince Andrew Davion and his wife Jennifer Campbell. He was known by his nickname of "The Fox", for his shrewd and cunning military and political strategies.

Darth Revan, "The Revanchist." From the Star Wars expanded universe, first appearing in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic:

Revan, renowned as "the Revanchist" and dreaded as Darth Revan, was an eminent Jedi Knight turned conquering Dark Lord of the Sith until, stripped of his true persona, he returned to the crumbling Jedi Order and helped defeat the Sith Empire he had established. A Human of unknown origins...

Jim Raynor, but he calls himself Jimmy. From Starcraft. A badass fella who has a love/hate relationship with Kerrigan. Appeared in the original SC and the Brood War expansion and'll also be a principal character in SCII.

James "Jim" Raynor is one of the central characters and primary protagonists in Blizzard Entertainment's StarCraft series... Raynor initially appeared in the original game as a twenty-nine year old Terran, a marshal on a backwater colony world [Mar Sara]. He later joins a growing revolution against the oppressive Confederacy of Man before becoming disillusioned with its cause and forming his own paramilitary group [Raynor's Raiders].

Sten, or "a sten of Beresaad." He uses his military rank as his name. A companion of the Grey Warden in Dragon Age: Origins.

Sten is a warrior of the Beresaad, the vanguard of the qunari race. He is a stoic and disciplined man with a strong code of honor, and the way he treats others depends on whether or not they have his respect, which he does not give easily.

I'm trying to think of people from less well-known fictional backgrounds.

[Cato]

Machiko Noguchi, from the original Dark Horse Aliens vs. Predator comic series from the early 90s. A Japanese corporate salarywoman with some impressive fighting skills who helps a Predator hunt master put down an infestation on a human colony world.

Machiko Noguchi was a 22nd century human female who lived and hunted as an honorary member of the Predator species.

I started playing Battletech 20 years ago, right as the Clans were being introduced into the setting in 3049/50. To begin with, I had but a single custom assault mech: the REX-R1 Tyrannosaurus (100 tons, PPC-armed, jump capable, etc.), which I lost to an engine critical from an infantry platoon. By that time, I'd added a Stinger and a Panther to my mangy mercenary band. That long-defunct campaign was awesome- for who else put middle school kids would give mechs names like "The Tard" (100 tons, 4 AC/20s) or "The Bill the Cat"?

I've mostly been a devotee of the Davions (for the Inner Sphere) and the Wolves (for the Clans).

[Sol Invictus]

Did you watch the cartoon series as well? Gosh I have such memories sitting down with my fruit loops watching early every morning before school that show. Battletech was like a religion unto itself for me up until I was about 17. Played all the Mechwarrior games and would play them for hours on end. Made all the more enjoyable when you read the books (Michael A. Stackpole's were my fav) and immersed yourself into the background of the universe itself.

The cartoon was fine for the time, I suppose, but I wouldn't call it great or anything.

By the time the cartoon came on, 1995 I think, I'd become well-learned in the basics of the Battletech setting, having read the first two Stackpole trilogies (Warrior and Kerensky) and some of the others, like the Jade Falcon books with Aidan Pryde. I largely stopped following the setting's progression with the Twilight of the Clans and, definitely, by the time Katherine and Victor had their dust-up over their parents' thrones, which lead into the Jihad of the whacked-out Blake fanatics. That didn't stop me from buying the game materials, mind you, but even that dropped off.

Katherine Steiner-Davion, or Katrina as she prefers, daughter of the peerless Hanse Davion and an ambitious, ruthless manipulator who orchestrated her mother's assassination and framed her older brother, Victor, for the deed. When you're second-in-line for the throne of an interstellar hyperpower and your elder brother is a self-doubting nitwit, sometimes you've got to do what you've got to do... It's not like Successor Lords have never used assassination as a means of gaining and keeping power bwaha. Probably one of the better villians of the Battletech setting, but her potential as a Machiavellian princess who saw herself as best suited to rule over her ill-suited brother, begun by Stackpole, saw her turned into a stock evildoer suffering from megalomania by later writers of Battletech fiction.

Two screengrabs from, I believe, MW4. A profile and a picture of the good Archon giving a speech, flanked by some security goons (CID?), to her subjects.

Decker is my all time favorite fictional character: i have all of Marc Olden's books written about this character.


Giri
(1982)
A novel by
Marc Olden http://i339.photobucket.com/albums/n449/ruffusruffcut/giri.jpg



A crazed mass murderer is terrorizing New York, his victims the target of a strange and deadly form of Oriental blood sacrifice. Detective Sergeant Decker, a cop with a potent understanding of the martial arts, is put on the killer's trail. At once he is enmeshed in a network of betrayal and murderous deception that stretches from Saigon's serpentine alleyways to Manhattan's diamond markets to the vast, seething underworld of Paris.

Volker and Hagen of the Nibelungenlied. I love the scene when Hagen lops the ferrymans head off after the bold ferryman hits him over the head with a shovel :D. And Volker, well he is the most bad ass minstrel there ever was.

Although, I don't ever think I could forgive Hagen for his treachery against Siegfried.

Tolkien's Turin Turumbar and Feanor embody the tragic I love so much in literature. Children of Hurin is really, in my opinion, the best of Tolkien's writing.

Batman, again I love the tragic nature and humaness of Bruce Wayne, easily one of the most complex creations.

Beowulf, fiction in a sense but more in the realm of mythology and deity. In the same sphere Achilles and Hector.

any one think this is a co-incidence:

Woodrow Wilson Smith may refer to:

There is something within resisting agreement, but I agree. I'll say it, I AGREE! As much as I love his other works, nothing moved me quite like Children of Hurin. After I closed that book, I just sat there starring at the floor for awhile. I couldn't really believe what had just happened; how tragic it all was.

Also, there is something about the land and tales west of the Blue Mountains (Beleriand), that I like more than East Middle-Earth.

The Eternal Champion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_Champion) is probably number one on my list of awesome fictional characters:


About the Eternal Champion

The Multiverse, which consists of several universes, many layered dimensions, spheres, and alternate worlds, is the place where the eternal struggle between Law and Chaos, the two main forces of Moorcock's worlds, takes place. In all these dimensions and worlds, these forces constantly war for supremacy. Since the victory of Law or Chaos would cause the Multiverse either to become permanently static or totally formless, the Cosmic Balance enforces certain limits which the powers of Law and Chaos violate at their peril. Law, Chaos, and the Balance are active, but seemingly non-sentient, forces which empower various champions and representatives.

The Eternal Champion, a Hero who exists in all dimensions, times and worlds, is the one who is chosen by fate to fight for the Cosmic Balance; however, he often does not know of his role, or, even worse, he struggles against it, never to succeed. Since his role is to intervene when either Law or Chaos have gained an excess of power, he is always doomed to be surrounded by strife and destruction, although he may go through long periods of relative quiet.

All the incarnations of the Eternal Champion are facets of each other, and the Champion may also be aided by a companion, who, like himself, exists in various incarnations. Likewise the Champion is often associated with a romantic interest that is possibly an aspect of an eternal figure. Other characters in the various books have occasionally crossed over from one universe to another, although it is unclear what their status in the multiverse may be. Normally, the incarnations of the Champion do not interact and are treated as a series of serial incarnations for facets of a single consciousness, but various cataclysmic events (such as the end of a Cycle of Cycles of the multiverse's progression, or an invasion by hostile entities from an entirely separate multiverse) may bring them together in various ways. This is very dangerous (it causes strains on the fabric of the multiverse as well as mental issues for the Champion,) but amplifies the Champion's power enormously.

In every aspect, the Champion is a warrior almost without peer: when he wields some version of his usual weapon, the Black Sword (known by various names such as Stormbringer or Kanajana, although not all versions of the Sword are the same and some are active entities in their own right) few can stand against him. He is also usually an adept, if often unwilling, leader of fighters and has strategic and tactical abilities.

Incarnations of the Eternal Champion

Some of the incarnations of the Eternal Champion include:
Alan Powys
Alerik
Alivale
Artos the Celt
Asquiol of Pompeii
Aubec, Earl of Malador
Brian
Clen of Clen-Gar, the third identity assumed by John Daker
Clovis Marca, later changed to Clovis Becker
Cornell
Corum Jhaelen Irsei (an anagram of "Jeremiah Cornelius") {aka Corum Llaw Ereint}
Duke Dorian Hawkmoon
Elric of Melniboné
Lord Erekosë, the first identity assumed by John Daker
Prince Flamadin, the fourth identity assumed by John Daker
Franik
Ghardas Valabasian, Conqueror of the Distant Suns
Goldberg
Ilanth
Ilian of Garathorm
Jerry Cornelius
Jherek Carnelian
John Daker, the one aspect of the Champion who remembers his previous lives.
Karl Glogauer, who turns out to be the real man behind the messianic figure of Jesus Christ (note also how some other incarnations bear the initials J.C.)
Klan
Konrad Arflane
Mejink-La-Kos
Michael Kane (Kane of Old Mars)
M'v Okom Sebpt O'Riley, Gunholder of the Qui Lors Ventures
Oshbek-Uy
Oswald Bastable
Paul de phalandra
Pournachas
Rackhir the Red Archer
Roland, one of the paladins of Charlemagne
Ryan
Sam Bennetts
Shaleen
Sojan the Swordsman
The Doctor
Graf Ulrich von Bek (see note 2)
Ulysses
Umpata
Count Urlik Skarsol, the second identity assumed by John Daker
Vaughn Marquis
Note: Erekosë, Urlik, Flamadin and Daker are related incarnations of the Eternal Champion, in that the individual transforms over the course of several novels while maintaining the memories of each and is not biologically reborn between each aspect. In addition, he remembers the lives of numerous other incarnations.

Note (2): Graf Ulrich von Bek and his descendants are a somewhat unusual family in Moorcock's works, as they function both as an aspect of his Eternal Champion and as a companion to him.

Of the incarnations of the Champion, Duke Dorian Hawkmoon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawkmoon) is my favorite:


Dorian Hawkmoon is one of the less "problematic" characters Moorcock ever created a series around. Unlike the anti-hero Elric of Melniboné, or the alienated and tragic Corum, or the sometimes savage Erekosë, Hawkmoon is described as being very much close to an all-around "good guy", despite lacking some subtlety (or perhaps, for this very reason).

Hawkmoon is captured by the evil forces of Granbretan who implant, by means of arcane, baroque technology (devised by a caste of 'sorcerer-scientists'), a sinister black jewel in his skull. He is sent to The Kamarg (a future version of the southern French region of Camargue) to perform reconnaissance prior to invasion. The black jewel transmits (and may record) all that Hawkmoon sees to Granbretan's capital, Londra. Temporarily freed from the curse of the jewel by The Kamarg's Protector, a grizzled warlord called Count Brass, he falls in love with the Count's daughter, Yisselda, and embarks on a quest to find and implement the will of the Runestaff, a magical item which preserves the Cosmic Balance. During his adventures, he has to collect two more magical items; the Red Amulet held by a mad god somewhere in future Ukraine, and the Sword of the Dawn, winning many battles in which he is hopelessly outnumbered, but helped by loyal companions, by mysterious allies who arrive in the nick of time, and by dissension, scheming and treachery in the ranks of his foes.

The Runestaff is one of the major artifacts in Moorcock's multiverse. The Black Sword (whose aspects in Elric's milieu are the soul-stealing swords Stormbringer and Mournblade) is another. The Black Jewel, which manifested itself in the world of Hawkmoon as the Jewel implanted in Hawkmoon's skull, is akin to the Black Sword. Another artifact, the most powerful, is the Cosmic Balance: it powers the Runestaff to produce Order. The Horn of Fate is still another artifact or power. Often artifacts are carried by the Champion Eternal.

Some of the artifacts have servants. The enigmatic Warrior in Jet and Gold serves the Runestaff, as does Orland Fank of the Orkneys.

Hawkmoon's struggle with the empire of Granbretan was treated in The History of the Runestaff, which consists of four books ("The Jewel in the Skull", "The Mad God's Amulet", "The Sword of the Dawn", and "The Runestaff"); the setting of this tale is a post-holocaust Earth.

Hawkmoon later returned as the main character of a sequel trilogy, the Chronicles of Count Brass ("Count Brass", "The Champion of Garathorm", and "The Quest for Tanelorn") that branched out into Moorcock's Multiverse proper. The second Hawkmoon series brought the Eternal Champion cycle to a conclusion of sorts—though not exactly a finale, as subsequent Eternal Champion books show.

As much as I love LOTR (even though as literature it leaves a lot to be desired) it doesn’t come close to the Silmarillion or to Children of Hurin. Hurin’s defiance of Morgoth and the death of Beleg Cuthalion at Turin’s hands it is hard to find more epic prose in Tolkien’s work. The aged Hurin clasping the hand of his dead wife on the grave of Turin…...

As a student of Tolkien’s work on Old English literature, especially Beowulf, I am constantly amazed at the depth of insight into the European psyche he achieved.


Also, there is something about the land and tales west of the Blue Mountains (Beleriand), that I like more than East Middle-Earth.

Along with Feanor and the Noldor I enjoy the tales of Numenor and the defiance of the Valar, the slow corruption of the men of Numenor by Sauron has an interesting quality to it, though I suspect it is more Old Testament influenced than anything of Diomedes attempted God slaying in the Iliad.

Anyway, did you know that Tolkien wrote his own version of the Volsung epic?

[Eldritch]

Yes, I believe it translates to small/little hunger, but perhaps Eldritch could verify it.


That's correct -- more or less the only way ity could be translated while still retaining the original meaning.

Another übercool character would be John "Hellblazer" Constantine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellblazer):

http://blogs.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/geekworld/John%20Constantine.jpg

Please disregard the absolutely horrible film based on the character starring [:rolleyes2:] Keanu Reeves. Unlike our Cap, I'm not a purist when it comes to superhero movies, but this one is just hideous.

Andrew "Old Hickory" Jackson.

http://www.auctionnewsnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/Andrew_Jackson.jpg

Before you start replying in attempt to correct my glaring error, read up on the man--courtesy of Cracked (http://www.cracked.com/article_15895_the-5-most-badass-presidents-all-time.html)--and tell me you believe a man this awesome could be anything but fictional:


When the 1828 election rolled around, a lot of people were terrified when they heard Andrew "Old Hickory" Jackson was running. If you're wondering how a guy we're calling a bad ass got such a lame nickname, it's because he used to carry a hickory cane around and beat people senseless with it, and if you're wondering why he did that, it's because he was a fucking lunatic.

[...]

Despite everyone's best efforts, Jackson was elected to the top office, and when he wasn't busy shaping the Presidency as we know it today, you could find him out back dueling. [...] The number of duels that Jackson took part in varies depending on what source you consult; some say 13, while others rank the number somewhere in the 100's, both of which are entirely too many times for a reasonable human being to stand in front of someone who is trying to kill them with a loaded gun.

[...]

On one occasion, he challenged a man named Charles Dickinson to a duel, (the reason behind it wasn't important, not to us and certainly not to Jackson), and Jackson was even kind enough to give Dickinson the first shot. We're gonna go ahead and repeat that: In a duel with pistols, Jackson politely volunteers to be shot at first. Dickinson happily obliged and shot Jackson, who proceeded to shake it off like it was a bee sting. When Jackson returned the favor, Dickinson was not so lucky, and that's why his face isn't on the twenty. The bullet, by the by, remained in Jackson's body for 19 years because, we assume, Jackson knew that time spent removing the bullets would just fall under the general category of "time not dueling," Jackson's least favorite category.

[...]

Andrew Jackson was the first president on whom an assassination attempt was made. A man named Richard Lawrence approached Jackson with two pistols both of which, for some reason, misfired. With the possibility of an assassination taken off the table, Jackson proceeded to beat Lawrence near death with his cane until Jackson's aides pulled him off the assassin.

[...]

"I have only two regrets: I didn't shoot Henry Clay and I didn't hang John C. Calhoun."

That's right. In a life rich with murdering people for little-to-no reason, Jackson's only regret was that he didn't kill quite enough people. People like Calhoun who, it should be noted, was Jackson's vice president.

Virtues: valor, strength, wisdom, humility, leadership, experience, self-control and is second in combat only to Achilles.

There is no greater warrior in Greek mythology except Achilles. Even Hector, Aeneas and Ajax are below the mighty son of Tydeus.

He also bested Ulysses and quite easily.

AND wounded two immortals (Venus and Mars) AND attacked Apollo without injury. No other mortal has a record like that except Heracles.

Larry was a nerdy geek all his life and eventually became a computer programmer. He never had close relations with friends, women, or his colleagues, and every day of his life was identical. He lived with his mother and brother.

Around his 38th birthday, his brain hit a sexual alarm and started having his first kinky thoughts. He started reading adult magazines and could not concentrate on his work. Because of this his life was destroyed; he was fired from his job, and upon returning home he found his house had been sold and his mother had left for vacation.

He then decided to turn a page forward in his life; he left everything and decided to live the wild life. He moved to the city of Lost Wages, where, being a fan of the '70s, and assuming that '70s styles were still trendy, he bought a polyester leisure suit and gold chains. He sold his Volkswagen 'bug' to a junkyard for $94 and ended up in front of Lefty's Bar, where the first game, Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards, begins.

If you like her, you must love the title character of Faulkner's A Rose for Emily.

You are correct, sir! :) Nothing beats Southern Gothic, in my opinion.

I think Mertsi Vepsäläinen from Koirankynnen leikkaaja (The Dog Nail Clipper) is an awesome character. He is a brain damaged soldier who develops a friendship with Sakke, a Finnish Spitz. The book was written by Finnish author Veikko Huovinen in 1980, but it was made into a movie in 2003.

Florentino Ariza

An obsessive, impassioned sex addict, Florentino falls madly in love with Fermina Daza on sight. After a brief love affair during which he sees Fermina only in passing, he cannot accept that she has rejected him, and dedicates his life to one day winning back her love. In the fifty-one years, nine months, and four days after their troubled love affair ends, he eagerly awaits the death of Fermina's husband, Dr. Juvenal Urbino. Despite his undying love for Fermina, he sleeps with innumerable women, though he remains convinced that he is saving himself for her, for he can never love another woman the way he loves Fermina. Florentino uses sex as an addict would a narcotic; it is the one means by which he is able to forget his heartache and his desire for Fermina, the woman who is the source of all his anguish.

His lovesickness for Fermina is often equated to cholera, as he is literally plagued by his passion for her. He is insane with love, and exhibits obsessive, borderline criminal behavior. He stalks Fermina and keeps watch on her house. He is drunk with his passion for her, and can think of nothing else. At work, he is incapable of writing a business letter; he can only write poetic prose as he writes in his love letters to her. He thrives on his plague of love, and revels in his own suffering; he feels martyred when he is thrown in jail for serenading Fermina with his violin. When Lorenzo Daza threatens to shoot him, he challenges him, saying that it is most noble to die for love. Ultimately, he is determined to win Fermina's affections, and will stop at nothing to attain them. At once, he is the novel's antagonist and protagonist, for he may be madly in love or simply mad.

"The Hands of Mr Ottermole" has got to be one of my all time favorite stories. I can't find any illustrations of Sergeant Ottermole but Theodore Bikel did play him in "Alfred Hitchcock Presents:" so this sort of makes up for it.

[Stygian Cellarius]

I want to say Diomedes. Not only does his resume of victories exceed those of Achilles, but he was the only mortal to injure two gods, both Aphrodite and Mars, he was more intelligent, more honorable, and never died in battle.

However, I have to give the prize to Achilles, but not based on rational considerations. Achilles has a power to him that elevates him above all. My opinion of him is greatly influenced by this power so I must submit and give the crown to him. :shrug:

[Marmie Dearest]

Ignatius J. Reilly from A Confederacy of Dunces is one of the most awesome characters in fiction. He's not awesome in the same way as some of the characters mentioned here, but he is truly one of the funniest and most unique individuals depicted in a novel, with a ferocious sense of moral conviction.

Jack Hawksmoor "the God of cities"


He is physically unable to survive outside of an urban environment for long; however, when he is within an urban environment, he has vast, vaguely defined superpowers linked to the city, such as superhuman agility and strength, and telepathic control, such as animation and possession, of infrastructure and architecture, and allowing him to experience precognition and psychometry as if he and the city were one being. In some instances, he has transformed an entire city into a humanoid battlesuit and used it to fight. Jack treats individual cities as if each were their own being. Jack does not need to eat, as he can convert air pollution into nourishment. He can also transport between cities, originally inside a womb-like construct, though this may have changed. Also, he doesn't always estimate the time for womb-transport correctly.

Jack tends to use the artificial transporter mechanisms of his team's headquarters to facilitate transport from city to city. Wildstorm Summer Special.

His powers and weaknesses are entirely symbiotic; the larger or more populous the city, the greater his abilities; and, conversely, if the city is damaged, he becomes less effective or develops an injury. Jack has been shown commanding cities to literally swallow people whole, sometimes Jack has caused parts of the city to erupt, damaging enemies. He also has showed to be able to fix damages and renew cities parts.

Mnggal-Mnggal - Star Wars Expanded Universe

Deadly :D

http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100511112103/starwars/images/6/63/Mnggal-Mnggal_Host-TUR.jpg
Mnggal-Mnggal prepares to take a Human host.


Mnggal-Mnggal was a sentient entity known throughout the Unknown Regions. Mnggal-Mnggal's origins were shrouded in mystery. It was a completely unique being, without analogue even in species catalogs as extensive as those of the University of Sanbra. It was believed by some, including the Chiss, to be extradimensional in origin, and comparisons were made to other known beings such as Waru. It was so ancient, at least by its own account, that it existed alongside the Celestials, and witnessed their sudden departure from the galaxy. The hyperspace anomaly that bisected the galaxy, separating the highly-populated portion of the galactic disk from the Unknown Regions was presumed by some to have been created by the powerful Celestials, possibly as a defensive measure against Mnggal-Mnggal and its infectious intentions.

Mnggal-Mnggal was a being composed solely of a thick gray ooze, able to move quickly and create a multitude of different forms. It was slimy to the touch and smelled of sweet rot. While it was a shapeshifter, it could not form the complex disguises of species like the Shi'ido, but its abilities were still versatile. It would form far-ranging pseudopods and eyestalks to explore or interact with others, or attack others with a fanged mouth. It could break its mass apart, spreading by creating worm-like forms, and was even able to fly by forming bat-like creatures.

Mnggal-Mnggal's most prolific—and deadly—form of movement, however, was by infecting and controlling other sentient beings. While it could possess animals, such as nexu or banthas, Mnggal-Mnggal preferred sentients, and once a potential victim was in its sights, it went to work quickly. Once a being encountered a pool of Mnggal-Mnggal, the surface of the pool would explode outward, showering the being in droplets of the entity's body. The drops would then begin to slide toward the being's mouth and nostrils, but was also able to enter the body through the pores in a being's skin if need be. It would first penetrate the cranium and digest the brain, then move on to the internal organs and tissues, increasing its mass all the while. It digested its victims from the inside out, filling every body part as it expanded and grew within the lifeless husk. Within twenty-four hours, the victim was dead, filled entirely with Mnggal-Mnggal.

It could then fully control the victim's body, and was able to do so with enough precision to pilot vehicles. This was also how it obtained its sustenance, though it is unknown if the nutrients obtained were somehow spread throughout the being's myriad parts. A Mnggal-Mnggal possessed zombie could be easily distinguished from the body's former self. The possession was evidenced by a vacant gaze, a stiff-legged gait, and utter stillness when at rest. The victim's voice was also distorted, as Mnggal-Mnggal would have digested its vocal chords and lungs (or analogous organs) already; their voice would become buzzy and flat. Mnggal-Mnggal was not able to preserve its hosts, and after a week they would begin to decay, with the entity's gray ooze slipping from their facial orifices. The zombies were also used to further infect others, by spewing Mnggal-Mnggal in the faces of new victims.

All parts of Mnggal-Mnggal, no matter what form or how far-flung across the galaxy, shared a single mind, which is what led others to classify the entity as a single being rather than a hive-minded species.

At a long-forgotten point in the past, it had taken over and rendered lifeless the planet of Mugg Fallow. Eons later, Mnggal-Mnggal had spread so far across the planet, even filling its former oceans, all that remained visible of the former world were barren continents and the remains of fossilized trees. Its "body" ran so far and deep across the planet that it ran in rivers across the continents and filled underground grottos. As testament to its depraved mind, Mnggal-Mnggal created a macabre decoration of a fleet of derelict ships forming a ring around the planet, their origins ranging across millennia. Mnggal-Mnggal used its mind-controlled zombies to pilot the ships there, with Gree sailships and a treasure barge once belonging to Xim the Despot among the lifeless fleet.

Over the course of its existence, Mnggal-Mnggal staked its claim to thousands of worlds, moons, and space stations throughout the Unknown Regions, with infestations ranging from small pools in dark sewers to worlds ravaged and rendered as lifeless as Mugg Fallow.

As Mnggal-Mnggal spread throughout the Unknown Regions, some species native to the region opposed its incursions and sought to destroy the entity, knowing the extreme danger it posed. The Lugubraa and the Croke attempted to prevent any infestations within their territories, while the Chiss took a more proactive stance. They not only possessed the most extensive collection of information on the entity in their libraries on Csilla—including the location of Mugg Fallow and all possible information on its origins—they also paid bounties to any parties willing to attack infestations of Mnggal-Mnggal. The Viis Empire was decimated at one point by a Mnggal-Mnggal outbreak. Other violent outbreaks were responsible for similar power-changing events in the history of the Unknown Regions. On some primitive planets, it was worshiped by local tribes and known as the "rot god".

In later years, reports of Mnggal-Mnggal existed beyond the Unknown Regions, and it seemed as though it had managed to spread into Wild Space and even the Outer Rim Territories. During the reign of the Empire, some beings noted the similarities between Mnggal-Mnggal and the deadly plagues created by the Imperials' Project Blackwing.
