Though there has been a great deal of speculation as to the xoride's ultimate influence upon the walltowns that formed its territory, very few details about its lifecycle or physical distinctions have survived the flood. Most primary sources lie in the hands of private collectors, such as the Szyszyszki sisters. Because these materials do not tend to reach public circulation, many facets of the strain's life and demeanor must be left to the reader's imagination.
The xoride appears at the end of Space Madness, kept as the pet "mylover #666" and outfitted with a crude, pre-VHZ attempt at a prototype hypno crown. This "crown", if imperfect in its alignments, makes use of the xoride's cyclo-resonant fluid to create a strong connection with Blue Hell.
Before it is vaporized during the reunion between the two protagonists, the captive stranger (more commonly referred to as "mylover #666") spends its time running its arms along the walls of its chamber, lazy in its search for escape, and held tightly captive in its restraints. Even during its fatal meeting with its owner's psychic companion, its disposition remains one of seething somnolence.

The subject struggles against their restraints. They are still wearing the same clothes from the day before, though the stains around the collar seem to have been washed away. There are fresh marks upon the neck and collarbone. They appear otherwise healthy, if mildly underweight.
Mmmph, mmph! Mrmmph...
Mrrghrgh, mmmphhhh! Mmmhh, mmm....mmmm.....
>The subject remains dazed, disoriented. Their words cannot be discerned through the tape over their mouth.
Mrrph...mmn.
The light is turned off, and subject's tone grows frantic, before all noises cease altogether.
