Hytherions originated in the Big Crunch of universal stream Cymond 772.0 Beta as a weapon unleashed by the Terminators against the Originators. These god beasts devour time itself, focusing on the origins of things, especially celestial formations and universes themselves. Hytherions are not unique but a force of nature, cogs in the great multiversal machine whose function is to consume weakened and damaged universes, preventing their chaos from spreading further into the multiverse. They often come into conflict with the Alternity.
