Pseudo-Apostle

For fully-realized apostles, see Apostle.

Pseudo-apostles (使徒擬（しともどき）), or simply pseudos (もどき), are humans who have been transformed by an apostle into demonic spawn. Each pseudo-apostle usually bears an appearance reflecting its creator, be it mentally or physically. Like true apostles, pseudo-apostles revert to their human form after death.

Known Pseudo-Apostles

Zondark

Zondark, under the Count's influence.

The Count transforms Zondark into a pseudo-apostle by forcing the general to ingest a slug-like "daemon" (not to be confused with a daimon) so that he can seek his revenge on Guts while under the influence of the apostle. Because the slug is an extension of the Count, he can see and speak through his offshoot even after the host's head is destroyed.

Rosine's Spawn

Rosine's pseudo-apostles.

While Rosine normally transforms children into her interpretation of elves, she can also turn adult men into giant insectoid creatures to guard her domain of Misty Valley from intruders.

• Elves of Misty Valley
• Rosine's "Forest Guardians"

Egg of the Perfect World's Spawn

The Egg of the Perfect World used his tendrils to sting and transform Mozgus and his disciples.

The apostle known as the Egg of the Perfect World can create a pseudo-apostle by using one of his tendrils to inject his power into a subject. Though a weak apostle himself, the Egg creates physically powerful pseudos whose forms reflect their faith, such as the leader of a pagan cult gaining the looks of a goat-headed satyr, as well as Mozgus and his disciples becoming angelic in form.

• Great Goat
• Mozgus
• Mozgus' disciples

Ganishka's Spawn

Ganishka's spawn, formed from the corpses of Kushan foot soldiers.

After transcending apostlehood as a "reincarnation of a reincarnation" by gathering more magic evil power from the Abyss and assuming a demon god state, Ganishka crushes most of his Kushan soldiers under his feet. The crushed corpses mutate into monstrous, multi-tentacled creatures resembling the emperor's visage, but with sharp fangs and distorted mouths. These spawn devour the remaining survivors of the Kushan invasion army before they are attacked by the Band of the Falcon. After the Great Wave of the Astral World, they cease to be.
