Initial article on Malefacts
Malefacts are the primary enemy type in Beast of Reincarnation. They are corrupted fusions of animals and the Blight — creatures that were once part of the natural world but have been transformed by the parasitic plant force into monstrous, hostile beings.
Malefacts are created when living creatures are exposed to and corrupted by the Blight. The corruption fuses the animal with plant matter, transforming it into something aggressive and dangerous. The variety of Malefacts reflects the diversity of the animal kingdom — each Malefact type is based on a different animal, resulting in a wide range of forms, sizes, and combat behaviors.
Emma hunts Malefacts as a Sealer, absorbing their Blight into her own body after defeating them. This absorption is both her purpose and her curse — it strengthens her powers but draws her deeper into the corruption she fights against.
Malefacts range from common enemies encountered throughout the world to the massive Nushi boss creatures that generate entire Blighted Forests around themselves.
Koo, Emma's companion, is himself classified as a Malefact — making their partnership deeply paradoxical. A Sealer whose mission is to destroy Malefacts has instead bonded with one. Koo's vine-branch tail marks him as Blight-corrupted, yet he fights alongside Emma against his own kind. This contradiction is central to the game's narrative and raises questions about the nature of the Blight, free will, and whether corruption is truly irreversible.
Powerful Malefacts, particularly Nushi, generate Blighted Forests around themselves. These corrupted zones spread across the landscape, filling with hostile creatures and environmental hazards. Players must fight through these forests to reach the Nushi boss at their center.
