Whydigo

The Unanswered Question of “Why am I here? Why did I come here?” and the concept of “I am not why I am.” A creature of meaninglessness, meaningless inquiry, removing causal meaning from a situation and feeding off of it.
Unlike the other Unanswered Questions encountered so far, the Whydigo did not appear in a "dream" or even in a "vision". Though a vision was seen by the Spiritual Travelers not too long before they encountered the Whydigo.
Vision

On Daulok 22, 308 (Rotting Gate Time), the Spiritual Travelers encountered another vision while traversing the roots of the Black Pear Tree. While there were no spirits matching the description found in the Field Guide, they did experience a historical event through the eyes of Tympi and her sister, Ilven.
During their journey through the roots themselves, the Spiritual Travelers experienced unusual feelings of melting, reforming, merging, and tremors that they seemed to understand meant "A Mountain Moves, but not for you. A joy only we can feel, Movement is our own free will. See the light that was taken, and think on who was Mistaken. The journey has ended, then why even start? Why are you here? Why ever part?" A light would occasionally flash, and it soon became more permanent though Kaswink knew that it would be gone soon enough.

Light tends to mean "exit", so they rushed forward with great haste before emerging in a tundra. A cliff extended out over a crevasse of impossible to determine depth, beige-pink clouds filled the below area, and the sky was strangely clear. It matched the description of Ulunor's Cliff from the Field Guide down to the strange Orb of swirling Light and Darkness. Tympi knew that she was here to see this orb, but she didn't know why. Despite this, she pressed forward while Ilven voiced some doubts over the whole ordeal.
Looking at the orb was like looking at one's self, or the World in general, and Ilven understood this to be something often referred to as "Ulunor". Tympi and Ilven got a bit too close to the orb, put their hands through, and were transported through the swirling mass before arriving back at their starting location on the cliff. It was disorienting, but it helped them hear the weeping that existed within each pulse of light. They learned of Ar'en'el and of her lost love, Vsevolodrik. He was apparently taken from Her and is kept hidden somewhere that Her light cannot reach. She gave Tympi a piece of her light to carry with her and shine on Vsevolodrik when He was found. Tympi agreed and the vision began to fade.

The Spiritual Travelers first encountered the Whydigo on Daulok 22, 308 while trying to investigate a strange orb for Ohrsecte, The Beetle King. The Whydigo displayed its ability to consume the strange light that would disintegrate anyone else, and it started combat by forcing the Spiritual Travelers to question why they were even there to begin with.
Upon its death, the Whydigo had no loot and provided no wisdom unlike the other Unanswered Questions.

Basic Information

Anatomy

The Whydigo has the appearance of an emaciated, bird-like creature with a visible rib cage and horns protruding from the back of its head. Its arms are of varying length and asymmetrical, with joints that seem to move in unpleasant, random directions.

Additional Information

Geographic Origin and Distribution

Whydigos can be seen in various places, particularly areas with treasure or monsters that the party may want to acquire or kill. By consuming the boss, switch, key, or the treasure it removes the reason the party went into the dungeon in the first place which leads to moments of meaninglessness and forces the characters to reflect on said meaninglessness. “Why did we come here in the first place? That darn whydigo ate it…”
