Tenebrae
Basic Information
Anatomy
Each Tenebrae, although they may look different, are made of the same substance. 'Physical Darkness' is a black liquid that can assume the hardness of bone or the viscosity of mercury. While Tenebrae eat other creatures, this is only to copy their anatomy and not for sustenece or pleasure.
Genetics and Reproduction
A new Tenebrae is born after a living creature has been killed by them, causing their shadow to become a new instance of the spirit.
Growth Rate & Stages
Fledging Tenebrae are born blind, deaf, and only able to sense by touch and heat. The only way for a Tenebrae to grow is to eat other creatures, gaining new ano to modify their bodyplan until they are a chimera that can hunt with greater efficiency.
Ecology and Habitats
They hunt best in caves and other dark places, as light harms them and sun light kills if it touches them. They can hide within shadows and have been known to ambush creatures at twilight if they can get back to the safety of darkness soon enough.
