Hom refers to a type of homunculus created by the great alchemist Astrid. Like Chim, Homs are an artifical humanoid created through alchemy. They are highly intelligent and capable of speech, unlike Chim. As human as they may seem to be, Homs speak in a flat, monotonous tone and lack complex emotions. They live only to please their masters, and follow any instruction given to them. Like Chims, they collect ingredients for synthesizing and help their master synthesize items. Unlike Chims, however, they do not require any reward or incentive to work.
