The Ancient Ones

"It is called an Ancient One... they shaped our world and are Earth's protectors. These creatures might not look like they came from this world, but I can assure you, they care about nature and our actions much more that all of you ever could".- Arthur Blackwell

The Ancient Ones are a race of ancient, primordial creatures that served as God's very first beasts. They are creatures in the ParaVerse.

History
At some point of time, after the creation of the universe and Earth, the Ancient Ones were born inside the Hollow Earth.

Although Ancient Ones come in many forms, most if not all sustain themselves on radiation and emit a form of radiation that has restorative effects on ecosystems. The Ancient Ones are said to have thrived in the planet's ancient past when the Earth's surface was much more radioactive than it is now, and retreated underground and entered states of dormancy as this radiation declined. ARK discovered evidence that the Ancient Ones and humans have coexisted in ancient times, with Ancient Ones worshiped as gods, and others served as inspiration for many mythological and legendary creatures.

Description
While Ancient Ones can be incredibly destructive and dangerous, ARK believes some of them to be benevolent and a part of mankind's survival. Such Ancient Ones are classified as "protectors," and include the likes of Anastasia Wynter, Malakai Reid, and Reyna Ojomo. Other more malevolent Ancient Ones are classified as "destroyers," such as The Scourge Prowler, Camden Jagger, and Zahhab Dreanoughtus.
