Somnia (Familiars)

PhantomAlpha

Profile


THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR DEVIL MAY CRY 5


GENERAL INFO:

-Somnia's familiars are what she uses to fight. They cannot kill anything, but they can severely weaken things

-Each of them are severed/discarded pieces of Aurore, much like what V's familiars are to Vergil

-They cannot exist without Somnia

-They all eventually disappear when Somnia merges with Eve to become Aurore again. Their final act is a battle against Umbra under the false guise of desiring to kill Umbra, while in reality they just wanted to finally free Aurore from the nightmares they represented


ECHO

Abilities: Controls sound, most commonly via shooting it from its mouth. Also possesses minor control of wind

Other:

-The only one of Somnia's familiars that speaks. Loud and talkative

-Gets along amazingly or terribly with V's familiar Griffon, it just depends on the moment

-Serves as Somnia's means of ranged attacks

-Somnia's quicker run involves Echo sitting on Somnia's parasol and using wind to propel it forward


Design notes:

-The thing on the beak is on both sides of the beak

-Roughly the size of a raptor (basically the same size as V's familiar Griffon)



MAW

Abilities: Minor shapeshifting(mostly just changing its size), manipulating the mouths over its body

Other:

-Can't speak, but is very mischevious. It can make sounds from any of the mouths on its body, and uses this to confuse people for fun

-Serves as Somnia's means of melee attack

-Typically uses the mouths on its body to attack, either through biting or by sharpening the tongues and stabbing things with them


Design notes:

-Mouths function separately and any can be open or closed

-Typically the size of a red fox, but in combat can grow to be up to the size of a gray wolf

-No set amount of mouths, just know there are a lot of them



WRAITH

Abilities: Weakening enemies via the mist/fog around it, shapeshifting, shooting lasers from its mouth

Other:

-Can't speak

-Only appears while Somnia is in her Devil Trigger, as it takes too much energy to maintain otherwise

-Somnia can ride it to gain temporary invincibility(gameplay-wise. Lore-wise it's just added protection)

-When inhaled, the fog/mist surrounding Wraith will slow and weaken enemies

-Nearly killed Somnia, Echo, and Maw when they first encountered Wraith


Design notes:

-Surrounded by a mist/fog

-Can be semi-transparent, but typically isn't

-Very, very big(in the pose it's in in its reference, it is around as tall as V's familiar Nightmare)

-Not all blades/swords sticking out of it are the same color. There's no set amount of them

-The chains are a different color than the shackles. There are only two shackles

-Eyes and tongue are not the same color
