Humans

The Humans (or the Orbs) are a pair of Viruses that appear in Child of Eden.

Appearance
The Humans initially introduced as a pair of Orbs. One is violet-colored, while the other is of an orange color.

All Concept Art featuring the Humans shows the violet Orb/Human being blue.

=Behavior= The orange Orb can only be attacked with the Lock-on Laser, and the violet Orb with the Tracer.

First, they are born, combined, in the first section of the Passion Archive. When damaged enough (or until a set time has passed), it will split between the violet and orange Orb, who will start clashing into each other, likely trying to fuse again.

In the fourth section, the Orbs are encountered again. They clash a couple of times, then turn into running Humans. The Mini-Bosses have two Health Bar, corresponding to each individual Human, and colored to match them. The Humans will occasionally jump, creating enemy Bullets. When damaged enough, they will turn back into Orbs and clash; otherwise they will do this if an invisible time limit has passed.

In the eighth section, the Orbs are encountered for the last time. One will be bigger and colored, and the other will be smaller and monochromatic. This time they share a Health Bar. The colored Orb can be damaged, but the monochromatic one is invulnerable. When the clock's fingers go all the way around, the Orbs will switch.

When defeated, the Orbs rise up, crash into each other so hard that they kill each other. The Archive is then Completed.

They also appear as Mini-Bosses in the Journey Archive.
