Qiperi

From PatchworkWiki

The Qiperi are the native species of Leviathan. No two Qiperi thus encountered have had the same physical form, and have appeared to change form in subtle ways on several occasions. All Qiperi appear able to communicate with the others through some form of telepathy.

Evidence suggests that the Qiperi are not actually single beings, but that each Qiperi is a group of beings inhabiting a physical shell. The nature of these 'true' Qiperi is not known.
