Larvae are multipurpose symbiotic creatures that exist to augment Machina and other M2 life-forms. They are unique creatures that are not based on an existing creature that was corrupted. The internals of their [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/Machina_Biology#Machinium Machinium] bodies are quite simple. They possess a brain that is simple yet very powerful in terms of its ability to perform calculations. They are powered by a miniature [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/Machina_Biology#Core Core] which supplies power to some small M2 Nanomachine-production organs. Aside from this, they contain little else because their purpose is to combine with a human or another M2-Based Life-form and empower their new host. Most Larvae are the size of a football, but over time they will grow in size. At first, this is merely growing to 100% maturity, getting slightly bigger and gaining features such as thicker casings and an energy-storage dorsal fin. Machina are able to develop larger, stronger Larvae, which are able to produce more power and M2 Nanomachines, at the expense of taking longer to create. Humans are incompatible with the power output of these overgrown Larvae, but many Machina and some Agents can withstand them for a far larger power-gain.

If a Larvae attaches to a human, the human will be corrupted and immediately begin [[Machina Development]]. The Core and M2 Nanomachine-production organs of the Larva help to skip the vulnerable period of time where the human is infected but the M2 Nanomachines have not yet made a Core in the infected human, which would be the point of no-return in becoming a Machina. The power and nanomachines supplied by the Larva, along with the Larva's powerful processing, allows the developing Machina to perform the various steps of Category 1 and Category 2 rapidly and simultaneously, which reduces development time to as little as a few hours.

For fully-developed Machina, additional Larvae can be applied to the body in several ways with various results. The first and most simple use for a Larva is to bond to an existing part of a Machina and empower it. The most ubiquitous example of this is when a Larva bonds to a Machina's penis to make it bigger and ejaculate more powerfully, but it can also include bonding to a Machina's breasts to increase M2 Nanomachine output, or to her womb to increase Larvae production speeds, or to a limb to make it stronger. A skilled [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/Machina_Classes#Breeder_class Breeder-class] Machina can apply a Larva to a Machina's body in order to give her a new organ or body structure.

A Larva can become the center of a new piece of [https://wiki.machinamaincluster.com/index.php/Machina_Biology#Equipment equipment]. A Machina may encounter a piece of technology she wishes to integrate into her body, such as a weapon system. To do this, she would apply a Larva to the system and let it begin corrupting that piece of technology. She can then bond it to her body, with the Larva coordinating the integration of the newly corrupted system into the Machina's body. After that, the Larva will act as the processor for that system, allowing it to operate semi-independently from the Machina. As an example, a weapon bonded to a Machina's equipment may seek and engage its own targets based on its interpretation of the Machina's will, until such a time as the Machina decides to intervene and aim it herself.
