Demento

They have a skull similar to that of a cat, with two horns protruding from the place where their ears would be. These horns can be of any color, but they will always have gradients and lights along their length. Their body can be rigid, according to their will, but it lacks bones. It can maintain its body in a gelatinous consistency and alter it to any shape it desires. It has fur all over its body, except on its horns and tail. Its body color ranges from black to white, with all shades of gray. It is extremely rare for a Demento to have more than one shade of gray on its body; when they do, it's usually due to scars or birthmarks.

They have four eyes, all of which can see. The upper and larger ones see the world like the Drakomis. The lower and smaller ones perceive auras and light, which are their sources of food. The pupils of the lower eyes change according to what the Demento is feeling. The eyes can only have one fixed color for each side (those on the right side must necessarily have the same color - like green - and those on the left side will have the same color - like red). A Demento can have blind eyes, but it MUST always have a lower eye that can see, or it will die of hunger.

There is always a bright moon on its forehead, surrounded by up to 4 four-pointed stars. A Demento is classified in terms of power based on these stars; zero is a Demento with little magic, 4 is an extremely rare and powerful Demento. These moon and stars shine and indicate the hunger the Demento is feeling; the dimmer they are, the hungrier it is. This makes it very difficult when facing a Demento: they only attack Drakomis when they are hungry, which makes it impossible to know if they are strong or not until you fight them.

Its mouth has two large, pointed teeth that pierce its prey to suck its aura. It can also consume light by touching its moon to the source. They have no paws and float at will, but they cannot float very high (at most 3 times their height). They hate bright places. Their natural habitat is in shadows and darkness; their eyes can be harmed by intense light. If you're thinking of adopting a Demento, don't expect to take it out in daylight for a walk; keep it in a dark room, and it will be happy.

They are nocturnal animals and tend to get agitated during this period. They usually eat twice a day. They sleep about 16 hours a day, with 10 of those hours being light, dreamless sleep. They feed on light or plant auras. When very hungry, they feed on animal auras. Weight: they typically weigh between 2.5 to 6kg. Pure ones can weigh up to 20kg; Age: they typically live up to 20 years. Pure ones can live up to 50; Reproduction: they can have up to 8 offspring per year; Temperature: 39 degrees; Sound: Similar to a meow.

Pure Dementos are completely black or completely white in color. They are more resistant, have 4 stars on their forehead, are larger, and more intelligent. They can only reproduce with another pure of the same hue. They can only be adopted as babies; after that, they cannot get used to physical contact with other species. When adopted, they are very loyal to the Drakomi that took them in. They do not get along well with other animals unless they are accustomed to them from infancy. Your Demento may eat your plant or other pet if you do not introduce them before it becomes an adult. It's not common, but it happens: when very hungry, a Demento may attack a Drakomi or another living being to suck its aura. When it sucks the aura, the prey has less energy and disposition and may wither and die until the Demento sucks all its aura.
