[Lo-W2] Create a species challenge: Night Bell
Night bell, is an organism that is able to travel through shadows.
-This isn’t really counted as a species that is found in large numbers and doesn't reproduce.
-So far there are only a few sightings of this animal in their homes but a magic recording is taken so this entry will be only speculating about it.
-Four-legged animal with paws. Suspected to have meat paddings as a normal cat does.
-Have blue flames surrounding their chest that glow. Have matching blue horns that grow on top of their head. Maybe able to use magic?
-Ears look like cows? Sheep? With dangling bells that seemed to function like a bell. Explained why it rings when grifixes witness these creatures.
-Have a long tail that is also able to make a noise like a rattlesnake. Also have forked tongues as snakes do.
-All witnesses reported having nightmares before waking up to seeing them right beside their beds. Scholars have found these creature’s in very, very old records as drawings.
The real lore :
-Night Bell, is an ancient species that is already there since the era of the forgotten queen. It's a chaotic era, and so ponies and every species that can dream are constantly under stress. Nightmares stem from the stress they experience, and Night Bell thrives in this era.
-They are just fully black and have blue glowing parts like flames, eyes, horns, and bells. The tail functions as a fishing rod to fish nightmares out of the target’s body.
-Basically, they are dream eaters. Specifically Nightmare eaters. From the start, Night Bell are just simple animals that are able to thrive just by eating dreams.
-There is another time period that a group of Grifixes prays to Night Bells to protect them from harm. Night Bell can’t talk nor communicate with them, but since the grifixes have mental support, thus their survival rate increases. Night Bells do follow them around since Night Bell senses thoughts and dreams when Grifixes sleep.
-This is then slowly forgotten as the Grifixes are focusing on modernization like building shelters for their family, finding companions, etc. And going on, grifixes slowly have a happier and stress-free life, making nightmares rarer. Thus they only appear in areas that are stressful and hard to live in. When mass reports about Night Bell sightings say that this area’s residents are very, very mentally unwell.
-On why Grifixes can sense and wakes up when Night Bell approaches is because they are sensitive to magic to a certain degree as they are made of it.
