Nightcrawler Headcanons
Made some headcanons for the Nightcrawlers. Some of these are inspired by the Ethereals from World of Warcraft.
Nightcrawlers are products of experimentation with dark magics, causing their bodies to mutate into an unstable mix of organic and energy. This also made them become sensitive to light.
The current Cyclonis figure out how to shield them from the light
They can feed off crystal energy. But for a more substantial meal, they go for blood. (Mostly small rodents, since human blood can make them erratic).
Because they can absorb crystal energy, they can channel that power through their bodies without negative consequences. They can also store it for later use.
They are oathbound to the royal Cyclonis family. Breaking their oaths would result in terrible consequences.
Their oaths and the shielding are magically inscribed on their bandages. Their bandages also act as a binding agent for keeping their bodies intact.
They lack sexual organs and can’t reproduce in the traditional sense.
The process of creating them involves an infusion of organic living tissue with some special crystals.
They reside in the lower abandoned levels of Cyclonia, away from sunlight. Usually, they stay there unless summoned.
