Larvae can not only mimic any living creature, but any object in the environment in the entire Universe.

To counter Millibutts, Marconi is working for another entity, one which he will not even say the name of, as it does not wish to have its name spoken.

Millibutts is a mallicious entity from outside the Universe which is trying to break into the Universe (which is strongly implied to be the same being as Korrok). Millibutts and other such beings exist outside the physical realm, and have no shape or size. Instead, they can only be measured in their ability it exert their will. Creatures like the larvae (and by proxy the Shadow Men) are thought to be the way in which these entities insert themselves into other dimensions. The birthing point of the larvae parasites is the place in which Millibutts intersects with reality, like two perfect spheres touching in one microscopic point. It is described as being a sprawling putrid nebula of dumb hatred and unfathomable cruel strength. If the entity could be expressed in a physical size, it would be big enough to swallow the entire Solar System whole.

Now, the connections between Korrok and Millibutts (which imply they're the same entity, and the super computer, as powerful and terrible as it is, is merely a manifestation). In a local mine in 1881, a group of miners collapse a mine to stope the thing they found within from escaping. Only the youngest came out, and says he was sent by the others to stop a rescue for this reason, and asks them to cave his head in to get the "blue eyeball" out of his head (even in Rooney's world, Korrok wasn't first grown until 1902). The location of this mine is the same place in which the larvae are given birth to and enter the world of John and Dave.

With their organic technology, the people of Rooney's universe can split the atom and travel the stars (though they cannot yet travel between universes; keep this in mind as Korrok has conquered almost half of all universes). Giant spiders are used as cars in Rooney's universe.

Korrok is a malevolent intelligence who manifests as a super organic computer in a parallel universe. Korrok manifests as a great blue reptillian eye in the minds of others, and sees Dave when he's on the Soy Sauce between worlds/times in the void. Dave is just like a cell under a microscope before its gaze. In this parallel universe, a man named Adam Rooney (who in our world was a Confederate soldier who died trying to crossbreed a bull and a clydesdale) invents a type of organic technology which even in the late 19th Century had self-sheering sheep, snakes which harvested corn and an insectoid flying machine. In 1902 he invented a primitive thinking machine with a pigs brain (which would eventually evolve into Korrok). By 1922, this universe had computers much more powerful than the plastic, metal and silicon computers of our timeline, just by modifying the organic computers made by nature. All the while, the first super computer continues to grow... In 1926, at the same day...

The Shadow Men are entities unbound by time and space (who have a connection with Korrok & Millibutts, which we'll get into later). They can control time & space, being able to retroactively rewrite reality on a whim and move between universes and time at will. Shadow Men live inbetween moments and outside time, across dimensions and maybe never in any particular place or time at once. That they look like men is humans enforcing an image on something they cannot imagine. They're also thought of as ghosts, and long ago, Shadow Men would have been called faeries and succubus in the past, and would appear as tiny gray aliens to others. As a threat, a Shadow Man causes the airplane Amy was in to crash and not crash, and telepathically communicates with Dave (and seems to move Dave to this explosion). Shadow Men exist everywhere, similar to electricity, and encounters are rare, causing you to lower your guard, until you actually encounter them directly... A false child larvae...

The Soy Sauce is a mysterious black livng drug which grants the one who consumes it eldritch knowledge. Most people who consume it though will die. Gruesomely. Using the Soy Sauce, Dave enters a state of frozen time, in which time flows much slower, with 1.78 seconds being anything from two minutes to two trillion years (to give an example). He's also able to count every sub-atomic particle in the Universe and knows that every possibility was chosen at the dawn of the Universe billions of years ago (the part about the super computer will be important later). Other powers of the Soy Sauce include telepathy, interdimensional travel, time travel, out of body experiences and invisibility. The Soy Sauce is able to end up back with the heroes after travelling around the world due to a series of very improbable events, as it wishes to be back with John, Dave & Amy.

John and Dave (or John Dies At The End, for the name of the first book in the series) is a comedy cosmic horror series written by David Wong/Jason Pargin. It follows the shenanigans of John and Dave as they have to solve various paranormal events and inter-dimensional incursions. So far the...
