Vriskus

Legacy Lore

This page contains many lore elements that are not considered part of the new, official lore. It's very unlikely that it will still be considered canon for new lore, but will maintain relevance in old lore.

Vriskuses are an alternate type of Virus that are purple and have gradients in their coloring.

Unlike other Virus types who are cycloptic, Vriskuses have multiple eyes. Vriskuses also have bat-like wings. Canonically, they are stronger and faster than default Viruses, and fight in large hordes.

Lore[]

According to Xtriel, originally, Vriskuses did not have the appearance they currently have. Upon first entering the Hollow Computer, they looked similar to Babruses, except with a different color. However, they eventually began to evolve and mutate into what they are in order to attempt to combat earlier models of Fructowall Security units.

Weapons/Abilties[]

Flight - In lore (but not in-game), Vriskuses can fly by using their wings.

In-game, Vriskuses use the same weapons as default Viruses:
