In dimly lit laboratories, where science blurred into sorcery, medieval alchemists dared to do the unthinkable—create life from scratch. This episode explores the eerie myth of the Homunculus, a tiny, human-like being forged not in the womb but in the crucible. Was it a servant, a symbol of hubris, or a dark mirror of humanity itself? From its malformed body to its uncanny shapeshifting powers, the Homunculus embodies the ancient dream—and danger—of playing god. Dive into a tale of forbidden knowledge, moral gray zones, and the strange creatures that whisper warnings from the pages of arcane lore.
