Every biological system needs a stabilizing element. The semi-intelligent mass Xa is not different and so this role has been executed for centuries by daemon Vongul. This creature was created with a single goal in mind - to regulate the numbers of lesser daemons, to gobble up all deformed and imperfect creations of the mass. If Hwarang was the speaker of mass Xa, Vongul was its insatiable maw. This titanic being always moved wherever he was needed. His kilometre-long snakish body had dozens of limbs and always covered the entire horizon. Daemon Vongul worked quickly and knew no mercy. He used the disgorged and undigested remnants of his victims as building blocks for opulent necropolises, some of which stood the test of time till today.

Despite his enormous size, Vongul was far from being the sharpest tool in the shed. His tendency to swallow his food in whole proved to be almost fatal. Instead of a lesser daemon, he once devoured a gigantic mining machine, which jammed in his stomach and forced Vongul to prematurely disgorge all its content. This mistake allowed several undisgested victims to escape the daemon's digestive tract.

Vongul never accepted Hwarang's status and regarded him as a faulty pacifist freak of Xa. He incited his mother Xa against him for years, which eventually led to creation of daemon B'Khelith. After killing Hwarang, B'Khelith turned against Vongul as well. Even after many centuries, Vongul's giant burnt torso has still failed to fully decompose.
