A mindcore is a small corrucystic device that holds the memories and consciousness of an Obesk after undergoing ascension, which also allows the new Qou to manipulate a Qou-body. The destruction of an occupied mindcore is called the final death.
Most mindcores have a number of appendages that allow for basic locomotion. They can also have the ability to perform mobile groundsmindry, as is with Gakvu's. However, it must be built into the mindcore, rather than be learned as a skill.
In Recollection: Collapse, you meet Itzil and Karik, two mindcores who Akizet frees from their disabled Qou-bodies.
