Goliath

The Goliath was the creature that incited the Genesis Collapse. It is also known as the Spider-God by a cult formed in worship of it, Spider's Eye. What exactly it is is debated largely by intellectuals, academics and descendents of survivorsーas well as if it still exists.

The First Paroxysm
Doctor Pandora Anach'k put forth the theory that the current paroxysm phenomena is directly related to the Genesis Collapse, however a lack of definitive proof and a growing sense of manic obsession with the concept lowered Anach'k's reputation until she disappeared. Centuries later, the theory is scoffed at as a madwoman's writings, but Priest Commander Dmitri Ivanov has recently become attached to these archaic writings in his own fight against the Paroxysms.

Spider's Eye
Spider's Eye has its origins in Hive, growing in enthusiasm under the rule of the Hive Queen.
