Nemenoid

The Nemenoids were an interdimensional race of entities that were drawn to creative energy and integrity, which they used as food.

History

According to a poorly sourced Wackopedia article, They sieged Berlin after being drawn to its almost limitless source of creative integrity during the 1970s, planning to strip it of all of this energy. They came there through a space-time anomaly, and initially stealthily fed on the artists of Berlin at night only.

One day during this attack, the Nemenoids swarmed David Bowie's studio, drawn by the music being played. The next day during a cigarette break, Iris Wildthyme showed Bowie the devastation they had caused, leading to him writing the song The Fallen, the closing track of the second half of his double album Low/Profile, in tribute to the dead. He helped Wildthyme to defeat the Nemenoids by creating new music so powerful it would overwhelm them, enlisting the collaboration of Mary Visconti, Brian Eno, Marlene Dietrich, Panda, and Noel Coward, though later discovered that Wildthyme was actually using them as a lure. On the third consecutive night of attacks, the Nemenoids attacked the studio en masse; Bowie and Wildthyme released Profile, which proved too rich for the Nemenoids' appetites and they were destroyed after letting out "a single, ominous musical note". Bowie and Wildthyme later discovered that the Nemenoids had wiped the tapes on which Profile had been recorded, consuming it in all its forms, including all memory of how it sounded.
