Dorian's creature was what remained of his former partner after receiving 200 years worth of Dorian's accumulated decay and damage. Dorian kept it in a cavern beneath Xenon Base. When Dorian discovered the cavern had the property of allowing him to regenerate himself by transferring the negative effects of 'time and appetite' to another, he imprisoned his former partner there. Dorian was occasionally compelled to return to the cavern to carry out the transfer. By this time the creature was barely humanoid and did not appear to be sentient. It bore a striking resemblance to a Phibian.
