This is most literally seen in the "Pests"—creatures that are described as the physical embodiment of the Prophet’s harsh, judgmental rhetoric. They are weak individually, yet their sheer numbers reflect the overwhelming weight of a dogma that seeks only to "purge" rather than to save. A Contrast of Agency victor-vran-prophet
