Malice (Total War)

Not to be confused with the faction of the same name.

Malice is a Druthulidi that was summoned into Hyrule in primordial ages. It is believed to embody the rung of malice.

Characteristics
Malice is extremely unintelligent compared to the other Druthulidi, and it is debatable if it's even conscious. Instead of actively fighting for domination, it spreads like a mold passively, consuming and infecting what comes in its way. It reacts to and spreads via hatred and agony, earning its namesake.

Prehistory
Malice was summoned into Hyrule by the six traitorous First Sages to be used as a weapon against each other and their loyal sister Sulkaris. However, Malice, along with other Druthulidi, soon got out of control and turned against them as well as each other. Malice was one of the five survivors of the purge initiated by Majora when it allied with the renegade First Sages.

The Great Sea
Malice was eventually awoken from its slumber by the intense agony and hatred of the countless spirits used by Ono Mouzan to animate the Guardians.

Quotes about Malice

 * It is silent. It is still. At first it is not there, but in time the malice grows. One is wronged by another. A grudge is born, and in time it grows in the hearts of others. Hatred feeds it. Peace may halt this one but how long does peace ever last? Like one blinded by hatred all reason will vanish in its presence, leaving nothing but instinct in its wake. The world would be but idle before it.
