Wraiths {Overview}
Basic Information
Anatomy
The Parasitic union of the amorphous Silve-Slug , and the energy-leeching Darkeye , Wraiths bodies consist of a colony of minute Flux-beings under the direct control and parasitic manipulation of the more intelligent and evil beings known as the Darkeyes. Under their control, the Flux being colony moves and transforms as one, taking on various appearances and properties according to the Darkeye's will, and consuming energy and flesh for both self-sustenance and to attempt to satiate the Darkeye's endles hunger.
Genetics and Reproduction
The warped reproduction of Wraiths requires the painful splicing and separation of the Silve-slug colony to create the pods from which new Darkeyes develop, with the pods themselves becoming independent Silve-slugs which are bonded to the newly developed Darkeye. This process takes around 1.5-2 months before the pods 'hatch'.
Growth Rate & Stages
All wraiths have three stages of maturity: Larval, Young, and Matured Stages, dependent upon the amount of material making up the amorphous body of the Wraith.
Larval - 1-5 lbs of amorphous body
Young - 5-30 lbs of amorphous body, can condense to a smaller size
Matured - 30+ lbs of amorphous body, can condense to a smaller size
Ecology and Habitats
As energy consuming beings, wraiths either adjust their appearance to lure in enemies, or create blighted areas through constantly, if slow, sapping the energy from their environment.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Due to the influence of the Darkeye, Wraiths drain energy constantly from their environment, focusing their drainage effects into their attacks for additional effectiveness. If they don't find a good source of energy to drain, they start to consume their own bodies slowly.
Behaviour
Wraiths are Apex predators, using their transformation powers to hunt and drain enemies of their energy.
Additional Information
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
As a Parasitic Colony-Being, Wraiths combine the energy senses of the Darkeye with the physical senses of the Silve-slug, making them potent observers of their surroundings, even if they dont appear to be looking in any particular direction.
Symbiotic and Parasitic organisms
The creatures known as Wraiths are a parasitic union between two beings: Darkeye and Silve-Slug
