Encyclopedia of the Daemons breeder.
As you know, time runs faster in the NFT world. Many years have passed since the launch of “The Ones who returned” and this is a summary of everything I have been up to during these years.
Verify ownership
If you haven’t done it yet, verify ownership of your Daemons ( or trapped noun ) using collab.land in my discord. Type “!join” in the welcome channel and connect your wallet. You can choose not to do it, but prepare yourself for a life of misery and regrets.

How the encyclopedia was made
After completing the fist Daemon series, I took the best frames from each one of the daemons’ animations and fired up my GAN for 2 days straight. This generated a DATASET of daemons and allowed me to create thousands of new daemons.
I call them “Organic Daemons”.
But they are not for sale.
A surprise in my GAN! But they are not for you.
They are simply too powerful, raw and dangerous to be contained inside an NFT.
You can look at them. You can right click and save them on your desktop. Their only role in this series, is that they are the main ingredient of my secret GAN recipe - that will be used for whatever is coming next.
For now, I have asked my friend Bhilkus Threepwood to study the daemons, so I can learn how to contain their dark powers. Maybe one day, if you prove yourself an OG daemon breeder and a true holder, you will be able to stand near an organic daemon without getting burned.
Introducing Bhilkus Threepwood, the Daemon’s tamer.
For over 50 years, Bhilkus Threepwood studied daemons using a powerful artefact known as GAN - generative adversarial network and used it to artificially breed “Organic Daemons” under controlled conditions.
A problem with Bhilkus? Because of this Daemon thing he had going on, he did not age very well.
And at some point, he died.
And the daemons escaped.
The Encyclopedia of the Daemon breeder
After Bhilkus Threepwood death, his life work and laboratory passed to his not-so-bright nephew, Brrutus Threepwood.
As Brrutus was digging deeper into the remnants of scattered papers and strange apparatus of the laboratory, he felt the urge to make sense of it all and wrote the most dangerous book ever made by humanity: The Encyclopedia of the daemon breeder.
Each page of the book is full of scattered thoughts from Bhilkus, and idiotic notes from Brrutus. The illustrations in the book represents the different positions daemons assume during the mating season.
This is why, by many, this book is also known as the Daemon Kamasutra.

FAQs
How do I get a page from the encyclopedia?
There are 500 pages in the Encyclopedia, but most of them were destroyed, stolen, or scattered throught the Squiggle Kingdom, where no daemon can retrieve them.
The only way to secure a page is to buy a Trapped noun or a Daemon, and verify your ownership in the discord before the 17th of October. All you need to do is type “!join” in the welcome channel.
What Pages are for?
If you have a page in your wallet during the Winter solstice ( 21st of December ) you will be able to mint a special baby daemon few weeks after.
Pages are strong enough on their own and will help you mint a baby daemon, but many demonologists suggest to keep the page of the Encyclopedia in the same wallet where your daemon or trapped nouns are.
How the Encyclopedia was made?
The illustrations of the pages where initially generated via a GAN and later retouched and animated to illustrate the various daemon mating techniques.
Each one of the mating techniques is documented using GPT-3 generated text trained on scientific experiments, laboratory protocols, drugs recipes and observations on animal breeding.
