-as you step into the cabin, you get a sense of foreboding and unease. the walls are lined with teeth. thousands and thousands of teeth, piling the walls, spilling out of dusty urns and moldy chests. but you aren't paying attention to them right now, as you are far more focused on the foul display before you. a creature, bulbous yet spherical, is hovering several feet off of the ground, four fleshy hands counting the teeth while muttering in some language. as it swivels around and sees you, it says one word with a mouthless voice: "want".- The obsession orb is a terrible being which resembles a misshapen sphere of black flesh, adorned with four arms which dangle at the creatures sides, or crossed over each other. it has no eyes, no nose, no mouth, just a bloated sphere. despite the lack of a mouth, the obsession orb is constantly making noise, in the form of hushed whispers speaking over each other in different languages. no one actually knows where the orbs came from, but some scholars theorize that they are created from the worries and insane obsessive thoughts of creatures which rise up like a stench into the astral. obsession orbs get their names from their tendency to obsess over one specific thing. an obsession orb may become taken aback by the serenity of a particular meadow, becoming frantic and deranged when it is changed in any way. one may take an interest in human eyes, before violently collecting them on a blinding spree. these obsessions can sometimes be neutral or even beneficial, but the orbs strength and instability always leads to corruption. obsession orbs are oblivious to the harm that they cause, their madness blinding them despite their intellect. |
