Iaocia is a strange underground laboratory built on the northeastern forests of Almeria; most of this subterranean lab is hidden deep beneath Visigonian soil. The fact that this below-ground laboratory was built in Visigonia, one of the most deserted regions in all of Almeria, makes one wonder what sort of shady things are taking place in this most secretive of places.

Warning: This place is dangerous to even the strongest legendary hero incarnoi for reasons not associated with normal combat. Newbies should avoid the area entirely.

The Enemies

  • The face-smotherer
  This is an iaoxling covered in pale yellow flesh.  Its ridged, elongated tail weaves to andvfro like a serpent crawling.  
  Its long, finger-like digits are reminiscent of spider's legs. It has two rear lung sacs, each on either side of the base 
  of its tail, which expand and contract together as the creature breathes.  From above the creature resembles a giant 
  scorpion, whereas from the side it seems more like a crustacean.  You recognize this as an iaoxling, part of a deadly hive 
  species of predatory killers.  It has a few thin streamers of churning sickly haze and a tracery of sparkling light within 
  and around it.  
  It looks about five and seven tenths dimins tall, one and four fifths dimins wide, and nine twentieths of a dimin front to back.

These creatures, while very weak, have the ability to implant an embryo into your stomach with one of its special attacks. If it succeeds, you're going to die, there is no saving you from this fate as far as I'm aware. In a few hours time, a chest-burster will kill you.

(I've been told a cure disease form Phyrra will abort the egg but I'm not willing to test it. Likely will since symbol of Mithras atop the mansion in Thessalae, which cures diseases/plague, expels the egg.)

I've been told that full face protection can help protect you from this but i have no evidence to back it.

Attempts at consuming an egg will cause the egg to burst open and release a chestburster, though it will not immediately attack you.

A good indicator you're in trouble is if the iaoxling immediately dies after hitting you, as that's the indicator that you've been implanted, and it'd be a good time to find a healer that can cure disease. -Xaolyn

  • The drone
  This is an iaoxi with an intimidating exterior of metallic dark red bone.  Its large, elongated head has a vaguely phallic 
  resemblance, being smooth and without feature other than bottom-ridges and jaws lined with shiny teeth.  It has no visible 
  organs for sight or hearing.  Tube-like protrusions in its exoskeleton run all over its body, and nearly straight bone-like 
  tubes rise out of its back.  Its waist is narrow and tapered.  Its digits are finger-like, but end in vicious claws.  It also 
  sports a bony, ridged tail with a prodigious barb on the end.  You recognize this as an iaoxi, part of a deadly hive species 
  of predatory killers.  It is permeated by a haze of lurid greenness.  It has a few thin streamers of churning sickly haze and 
  a webwork of sparkling light within and around it.  
  It looks about twenty dimins tall, six and three tenths dimins wide, and one and three fifths dimins front to back.

Very durable enemy, shoots acid, and is weak against air, fire, and force damage.


  • The Queen
  This is an iaorexi with an intimidating exterior of copper bone.  Her large, elongated head bears an enormous bony crest that 
  protects the creature like a giant plate of armor.  Receding in and sometimes emerging to make an appearance is her actual head 
  which bears a massive set of perfectly articulated enormous fangs.  Her features are smooth and she bears no visible organs for 
  sight or hearing.  Jagged protrusions in her exoskeleton run all over her body, and perfectly straight bone tubes shaped like 
  giant spikes rise out of her back.  She has large, muscular hips to support her massive girth, and she leans forward to balance 
  her weight.  The digits on her hands are elongated muscular fingers tipped with vicious claws, equipping her four bony arms with 
  deadly weapons.  A reticulated bony tail -- like a spinal column, but splayed outward into sharp ridges -- stretches far beyond 
  the reach of her arms.  She uses her tail both for balance and to impale prey with killer speed and precision with a giant 
  harpoon-like barb on the end.  You recognize this as an iaorexi, egg-layer of a deadly hive species of predatory killers.  She 
  is permeated by a thick, intense field of lurid greenness and a dim sparkling light.  See has a webwork of churning sickly haze 
  within and around her.  
  She looks about sixty-two and a half dimins tall, nineteen and a half dimins wide, and four and nine tenths dimins front to back.

Extremely tough, has a low dodge rating, typical for something this large, shoots for massive acid damage and, like the drones, is weak to force and air, and fire damage.
