Null-entities, or Null-creatures, were entities which coalesced from the nonexistent potentialities within the Null and materialised in an “existing” reality. Because they started out as nothing, they could be anything. They contained and manipulated a non-substance known as “Null-mist”.

The most notable Null-entities were Bunny Everyhare and Bunny Nullhare, cartoon-rabbit reflections of Jenny Everywhere and Jenny Nowhere. Thanks to the former's help, they eventually got a town within the Null where they could paradoxically continue to exist if they so wished, although some Null-entities were known to deliberately choose a state of non-existence, albeit temporary, after leaning what they really were. (PROSE: Who Laws the Lawyers?)

Behind the scenes

In the author's notes for Who Laws the Lawyers?, Delilah H. Smith commented:

Null-entities which have somehow entered reality don’t need to be cartoon characters; actually, in the strictest technical sense, they should be “nothing”, but “nothing” cannot exist as such in reality — it’s a contradiction in terms — and so they must instead be “something”, which means that in practice they can be anything.
