The Qugu evolved from herd animals and in the process were infected by a virus | The Qugu evolved from herd animals, and in the process were infected by a virus that profoundly influenced their society. The virus rewrote the Qugu's genetic code so that they were compelled to ritualistically offer their limbs to be amputated by another species called [[jaw-beasts]].

The Witness itself, on the other hand, locked away a singular reference to this aboard [[Essence]], which the [[The Guardian|Guardian]] recovered in the present day while searching for [[Nezarec, Final God of Pain|Nezarec]]. | ||
