History

The Xenian Flower brings them to life from her own seeds combined with the hatred of people she can feed upon, and Fiore turns them loose across the events of the R movie. They hold the distinction of being the first monster species introduced through the films rather than the main television run, and the second such species absent from the manga, after the Cardians.
