Would a full grown fetch be noticeable to the naked eye? Even by other ponies? And what do they do exactly after destroying their host and becoming full sized? Do they take over their host? Kind of like a changeling?
Doppel Fetches ain’t my creation, buuut… I seem unable to find their original blog anymore. Huh. Odd.
Their original creator, Azula-griffon, has changed tumblr account name so much I’ve lost track of them at this point… I think they are @cyanocitta-blattidae now?
What I remember of the Doppel Fetches is that they strictly stay invisible to anypony else but their host. They can choose how visible they are to their host as well, as well what form they choose to be seen in to best possibly disturb them or to just be a bodyless voice constantly nagging.
A Doppel Fetch’s purpose is only to feast upon the pain and torment of their host. They are born from trauma but will change size depending on the host’s suffering and well-being. A Doppel Fetch born big was can shrink as the host get better, or be born small and grow as the host get worse. A Fetch will of corse want to grow bigger and stronger, so they purposely make the suffering of the host worse the best they can.
The Doppel Fetches are in fact rather self destructive, because if their host dies they seize to exist. They only exist along their host, but WILL keep pushing them to feel worse and worse where the outcome of suicide to the Doppel Fetch can seem like a climax of misery, but seemingly ignorant of the fact that the death of their host means they stop existing themselves. Only a living mind keeps the Doppel Fetch alive. They are not an independent being, more of a manifestation of the pony’s misery and pain.
I still think their concept is pretty neat.
[edit] They are DEFINITELY cyanocitta-blattidae now [/edit]
