The Abyssi are creatures created by the Builders to help them shape the universe. An Abyss always accompanies a Gardener, as it is its job to judge the Gardener's work. An Aleph carries the eggs of a Gardener and an Abyss until it finds a suitable environment to let them create life.[2]
Most of the Abyssi mysteriously died when the newuniversal structure was created. The Builders had recalled all the Gardeners and forbade them from harvesting worlds; if the Abyssi had no work to judge, they had no purpose. However, the Abyss of Ex Nihilo survived since Ex Nihilo did not stop making Gardens.[1]
This race is now extinct, as the last of the Abyssi died in combat against the Beyonders.[3]Habitat

Notes
- Abyssi, alongside Gardeners and Alephs, are considered older Builder systems compared to Starbrands, Nightmasks, and other products of a White Event.[4][5] It was because of these newer systems that the Gardeners were recalled.[1]
- The Builders classify both created races like Gardeners and Abyssi, as well as ascended individuals like Starbrands and Nightmasks, as "sentient systems" and "tools" of the Builders.[6]
