History: The Brujería, a coven of male witches, created Invunche as their servants by crippling and deforming an infant before performing a magic ritual on it.

(El Diablo III #4) - The demonic Vorpal was dedicated to wiping out his enemy El Diablo. He broke into the labs of Cerberus, and created an Invunche for that task. The Invunche went wild, killing most of Cerberus' staff members before being killed by El Diablo.

(El Diablo III #6) - Vorpal created an army of clone Invunches to protect his master Ninhursag, who was about to have a child that would unite Hell and Earth. Diablo found the cave where Ninhursag was to give birth and slaughtered the Invunches.
