Since they walk both the physical and ethereal planes, do you think baku can be familiars to auraboa dragons both in the Loop and the waking world?
This is giving me the mental image of like an auraboa hatchling entering the Loop like "Mom, dad, look what I found." with the baku there, and everyone else just being confused as to how this... thing that clearly isn't one of them, or even any other kind of dragon, got there.

I would say the ethereal world is like an actual world of spirits and dead stuff, whereas the Loop is more of a mental connection. It's a bit different for me.

Come visit my lore lair! It's a fun time here.
Something strange is happening on Sornieth. All across the world, dragons have begun to be born with multiple elements. How? Why? As dragons all across Sornieth takes notice, the wheel of fate begins to turn, as one fae's search for her mysterious origins leads her down a path that could change Sornieth forever.

The Baku from the game are inspired by the Baku from Japanese lore. They are known to eat bad dreams. And since the newer generation of Auraboa connect to the loop via sleep/dreaming, I would say yes!

The Loop is more like a hivemind from what I understand; personally I dont think the Baku have anything to do with it but if thats your lore also totally fine with me

I agree with this. I would think they could only become present in the Loop when in the presence of a sleeping youth, and probably only if they were actively consuming their dream. But that's only if the Baku actually enter the dream, I've seen different interpretations. Course it's possible they can't actually link but rather are just felt.
But... Maybe they might be considered terrifying. After all they eat dreams. It just so happens they favor the [i]bad[/i] ones. But what if? Younger gen Boas might try to avoid them, not wanting to risk losing their connection to their elders.
