Biography
Fear of Abandonment
LONELY | EXILED | AFFECTIONATE
An egg laid outside the territory of the eleven elemental gods will not hatch: without their magic, soul never knits to body and the embryo inside withers and dies. Without an anchor, the little waiting spark of Mind that might one day have become a person slips away through the cracks in reality. Most are eaten by the pneumavores that lurk in the hungry Void outside, but a few--lucky or clever or both--survive and grow up to become predators themselves. Shade-touched, these lost souls lurk in the dreams and nightmares of dragonkind, feeding on their fears and growing fat.
The largest of them are the greater horrors, dream-beasts without an identity beyond their Names--the specific terror they draw strength from. Most horrors are little more than beasts, unconscious and unaware of the minds around them, though they ably ape the manner and speech of dragons they meet while dreaming. The larger they are, the more they resemble thinking beings, though the veneer of intelligence lies only skin-deep over a terrible animal cunning. Sleeping dragons caught and seduced by a wandering horror might never wake again, trapped beyond saving in their own nightmares--or worse, awaken possessed, without dreams or mind or reasoning of their own.

The fear of abandonment lurks in the heart of every social creature. It's a deeply primal terror--the thought of one day being exiled or left behind, without pack or clan or family for support. Born of a union of Loss and Failure—two horrors called forth by a pathomancer of the Abiding Boneyard—Abandonment embodies the anxieties of its parents more fully than it does its Name. Generally spiral-shaped, it's as energetic as the dragons it resembles, and pours the majority of that energy into being smotheringly affectionate to anything that will give it the time of day.
It's an irony of Abandonment's existence that such behavior has seen it driven from its birth clan simply because it doesn't know when to stop. Even the Plagueheart, tight-knit as they are, would not put up with its incessant clinging and threw it out forthwith when it refused to give up its own anxieties as a "sacrifice".
Should Abandonment find a dragon patient enough to deal with its clinging, there's a hope it will grow out of its anxiety and become a firm and devoted friend. Time will only tell.
"Don't leave me. Please."
