Parasitic little marshmallows that need your body to keep themselves alive. You got dreams, right? You’re not using them...are you?

An Inkyuu, surprisingly not made of ink- is a living ball of colorful poison that is normally the size of a small dog. The poison involved many neurotoxins that allow it control of the host, and the Inkyuu feeds off of chemical messengers that allow the host to dream.

Inkyuu were spawned from a lab accident gone wrong. One scientist was all it took for the creation of them; they are the creation of a [scientist with a role] to free [scientist’s loved one] from nightmares. They were intended to be friends and friendly, but never sentient. The cute forms they take are supposed to reflect small, cute things to help replace “bad” dreams with “good” dreams.

Unfortunately, Inkyuu don’t discriminate. And unfortunately, Inkyuu have individual personalities and sentience. They eat all dreams, maybe they have a preference of what to eat, but they eat all and every dream
