You would be correct, sire. They don't have corporeal forms, so they possess Spoken.

It didn't help that just about every "nefarious" plan they were involved with was repeatedly foiled by us players. With every monster they stuck on us was killed right after yet they kept going on about how unstoppable they were and how they'll get us because....darkness...I guess?
They don't do what they do because they're evil, they do what they do because they are essentially another tribe looking to resurrect their God--Zodiark (which, incidentally, means destroying the Mother Crystal). The problem with that, is that Hydaelyn is constantly foiling them.
