Species: Soul Bonded


    Family: Living Shadow


    Risk level: High


    Weaknesses: Death of the host


    Description: Soul Bonded does exactly what its name says it does, namely bonds with someone for life. It isn''t as romantic as it sounds, because it does it only to expand its influence. But firstly regarding its appereance it is not very distinguishable from other living shadows. It just looks like a black puddle on the ground, until it chooses its victim. It fully merges with their shadow, not showing itself in anyway and not influencing the behaviour or the health of the host. It does that to be as unrecognizable as possible. When it fully joins itself with the original shadow it then starts to produce massive amounts of corruption, by using the life force of the victim.

    Because of this direct exchange the sheer volume of it is so huge that almost anything living in the vicinity is quickly turned into a monster. to stop this change it is required to kill the host as quickly as possible, otherwise the amount of corruption will be so big that it will be impossible to get rid of. Even after the death of the bonded victim the contaminated aura of that place will continuously spawn more beasts until fully eradicated. Thankfully, there is a very small number of this monster in the world and they manifest themself very scarcely. There is unfortunately very little we can do to prevent them, but we still can collectively try to eradicate them as fast as they are recognized.


    Personal notes: "Their ability shows that the potential of the life force in our bodies iss immense. If just the amount of energy contained in a sibgle individual can cause such devastation, we can only imagine what we could do with more direct control. Hopefully, I will survive the days when we can manage such feats." Dr. Gist, member of Diseased Order
