The Mongoose Revolution is a company founded by Jeevan Irving in 2024 that aims to make the world a monster-free place. It's a glorified pest control company, but that's exactly what glorified pests need.
The Mongoose Revolution's headquarters are stationed in Okize Apts., Fugane-cho, Shinjuku. Irving chose the apartment complex as his base of operations because the landlord had already known about spirits (we've been thinking of contacting him when we get the chance), and he wanted his company to lay low before the Namako Incident.
The Mongoose Revolution's prices can seem prohibitive at first, but they're quick and efficient at their job, especially considering how dangerous monsters can be.
The employees of The Mongoose Revolution are on particularly friendly terms with each other, and tend to refer to each other by their given names, or nicknames—even Mr. Irving himself is normally referred to by the name "Gef" by his employees.

Shikagayaki Namako (紫輝忌 生子) started this blog by appearing on the news one day and turning the whole world upside-down thanks to an event we like to call the Namako Incident.
Once a sea cucumber of the species Holothuria lessoni, Namako was part of a ploy by the enigmatic archspirit Hamada Alchias to prove to humankind that spirits existed by turning her into a being of human form and intelligence. Boy, was that stunt persuasive.
Namako's what we'd like to call a "homunculus," as derogatory as that sounds. She's 171 centim- wait, why do we know this?

I asked her myself!

Namako's kinda had her own fanbase ever since the incident. Only natural that Kapi'd be one of those fans. And what's more, she's not just a homunculus! She's got a secret!

Shikagayaki Namako (紫輝忌 ナマコ)—wait, there's two of them! This one is notably more panda-like than the first Namako, and she means business. For our non-Japanese readers, we're naming her Namaco from this point onward.

She's so dreamy…

Namaco is an example of an eldritch. From our findings, she can shapeshift to a degree, and siphon knowledge out of any living being she jams her fingers into. If push comes to shove, she can self-eviscerate like a sea cucumber can. She and Hamada are allies, and her goal is to lure out Gehne, the source of all monsters, to put an end to the chaos that's been plaguing Japan. She's the newest employee of The Mongoose Revolution's Shinjuku Branch.
Namaco also has an affinity for leeches, which is strange. She's, like, three different animals at once… Maybe even more. You never know with these eldritch.

Aurita Mtowa is a homunculus made from a nudibranch (species Gymnodoris aurita), and the adoptive daughter of Tali Mtowa. She comes from the Philippines, but Tali Mtowa refuses to share the details.
The "ears" on top of Aurita's head are actually rhinophores, which allow her to sense chemical changes in the air—in a sense, she has three noses.

She's got a mark on her right arm that looks a lot like a nautical star, for some reason. I asked Kapi if that was just an artistic liberty, but no, Aurita actually has one. I don't know why or how!

Eun Jin-yun (은 진균) is an undine from Korea and one of The Mongoose Revolution's "star employees." Before the Namako Incident, Eun spent a lot of time going undercover and surveying modern human society at Irving's behest. Because of this, Eun knows a lot more about human society than the average spirit, and Irving owes most of his business smarts to her. If you ever felt chilly while you were out and about before the Namako Incident, Eun might've been the cause.
She's an undine of the shark variety, but she might not look the part at first, because she's spent so much time in her human disguise (guess that means she can't swim that well anymore). She specializes in manipulating ice, which is uncommon among undines.
Eun is also a student of Iriemoto-school martial arts, a style that takes full advantage of a spirit's unique physiology.

Tali Mtowa is one of The Mongoose Revolution's employees, and a leading researcher in homunculus physiology and psychology. Mtowa and Eun became acquainted through their mutual connection to Irving, and after living in the same apartment for a while, they've become partners of some sort.
A gnome of the chameleon variety, Mtowa has an affinity for copper. He's been reported to be able to augment his body with copper, as well as make furniture out of it. Mtowa is partially responsible for reorganizing Okize Apts. to Irving's instructions.
Mtowa's homunculus studies began in his home country of Mozambique, and he's made a name for himself in various countries in Asia, namely the Philippines and Japan. In fact, his daughter Aurita Mtowa came from the Philippines, and ever since he adopted her he's been protective of her. We've asked him a few times to tell us more about her, but he's refused time and time again.

We wonder whether we should've called it the Hamada Alchias (濱田 アルキアス) Incident, because this guy was the one who instigated it, as well as the appearance of spirits all around the world. Seriously, who is this guy?

We know that he's hundreds of years old, that he came from Rome, and that he gave himself the family name Hamada after staying long enough in Japan. He holds the rank of archspirit, and many spirits can attest to his authority and importance, as he has the power to turn animals into homunculi and organize the Namako Incident without much pushback. We can only speculate what else he's capable of.

Jeevan "Gef" Irving, founder and director of The Mongoose Revolution, was born in New Delhi, India, 1852, and spent most of his life in the Isle of Man. Does that ring a bell?
This mongoose psychopomp speaks fluent Hindi, English, and Japanese. It seems he was enticed by the political instability of Tokyo's spirit communities, as well as the rising monster populations, so he set up his company there.
