These patterns were able to influence the chemistry within the liquid cores of comets, creating the precursors of a physical substrate to house their consciousness. These comets then rained down on lifeless planets, and the first radiolaria evolved from the chemicals within. | ||

Vex radiolaria are microscopic organisms that are typically suspended in a briny white, luminescent fluid. They are found on planets transformed by the Vex, such as Nessus. They control the mechanical chassis of the Vex from a container usually found within their chests. On some Vex units this "brain" is located elsewhere; for example, behind the eye on [[Harpy|Harpies]] or in the abdomen on [[Cyclops|Cyclopes]]. | |||
When radiolarian fluid comes into contact with non-Vex matter, it will attempt to turn the host into a Vex unit. Examples include [[Kabr, the Legionless]], who drank from an [[Oracle]] and was transformed into a Vex, and [[Asher Mir]], who lost an arm to radiolarian "infection".

Another example comes from stepping in radiolaria in-game, as it will slowly damage players. | ||
