Bio: Created as an arianimus, a non-physical Dark creature whose purpose is to sense when Dark creatures are dying and sing their spirit to eternal slumber. By sensing when death is going to happen, they can also choose to prevent it by briefly turning mortal. Many exist, Larmort is a red arianimus which means he has webbed wings and large fleshy ears. The appearances of the arianimus are meant to soothe those who just passed, Larmort looks very calming and familiar to other Dark Realmers.

Larmort has sung hundreds to their eternal slumber, those who've died of natural causes, those who've died of illness and even those who died of murder. In their final moments of existence he has helped them feel calm, but what if he wanted to make creatures feel calm or even happy during their life? He didn't hate his job, not by any means, but as each living creature is an individual so too are the arianimus.

While patrolling the area and contemplating his actions, he stumbled across two drackles who were fighting over some newly hatched baby creatures. Seeing one stand up to the other, he felt so proud in that moment. His curiosity got the better of him when he decided to keep this cave in mind and return to check on the now single drackle parent. It was a good thing he did.

Sensing that one of the little kittens was going to die, he had the unique opportunity of becoming mortal to help warn the drackle. He stepped in and introduced himself, his appearance could have scared the Light Realmer but somehow he didn't. It was like she could tell he genuinely wanted to help despite everything she went through. The two raised the three kittens into teenagers, and everything felt calm. He had spent so much time with her and her family that he became part of it, falling in love with her. When he confessed what he was, she was very surprised! He informed her that one of her kittens were going to die without help, and chose to step in and help. He told her that he had seen the other drackle threaten to kill her kittens and felt bad that she was so alone. Most arianimus would have returned to normal but Larmort wanted to remain mortal, for Eva and their family.

The family was happy. Eva even offered to create magic with Larmort. He agreed. The two summoned four eggs and the whole family guarded them carefully. One day, Larmort left to get food. After that, he recalls seeing a figure before getting blasted.

He flies alone, haunted by the fear of losing his family. Everything he senses is them dying in horrible ways. He can't even see past the visions anymore.
