何蒙库鲁兹 Homunculus

(重定向自Homonculi)
制作霍尔蒙克斯的炼金术师

霍尔蒙克斯Homunculus),意指欧洲的炼金术师创造出的人工生命,也指这种创造人工生命的工作本身。

其制作方法是、在烧瓶中放入人类的精液以及各种草药、马粪并且密封,通过马粪的发酵作用来进行保温。经过四十天后,烧瓶中就会出现透明的具有人类形状的物体。但是此时它因为还没有肉体,需要加入活人的血液,并在四十个星期里保持马的胎内温度进行培养。这期间内,每天都要保证加入新鲜的血液。如果把它拿出烧瓶,或是停止新鲜血液的供应,则会立即死亡。(在有的传说中,烧瓶也一定要使用水银烧瓶。)经过这些工作完成的生命,外表和人类儿童基本一样,但是身体比人类要小很多。何蒙库鲁兹自降生起就具备了各种各样的知识。
