Nebuli

( @aroandroid (noooo it won’t let me tag you) I finally came up with lore for this pair, in the form of a sub-species!)

A Nebulous is a creature from the heavens, having fallen down to Earth. These creatures are made up of the stars that they came from, with a nebula at their ‘core,’ their ‘heart.’ Their colors range from dark to light, with their wings being a lovely shade of purple. Surrounding them is star dust, adding to the twinkling of stars already within their bodies. They thrive at night, and in dark spaces. And while they don’t fear the daylight, they’re sluggish in lighter areas, and their illustrious bodies are dulled.

Falling down to Sornieth, these creatures have opted to take the forms of dragons, or something close to them. Nebuli (the plural for Nebulous) will often huddle with one another, taking comfort in something familiar. It’s rare to see a Nebulous by itself. If you find one by itself, it is probably lost, injured, or sick. However, if they see a dragon that looks similar to them (with the genes Starmap and/or Constellation), they will go to them, searching for solace.

While they take on the form of dragons on Sornieth, their true forms are gaseous, just like a nebula. They’re a floating form of gas, stars, and dust just going along and minding their own business. They’re not harmful. They cannot hurt anyone, they’re physically incapable of causing harm. Because they’re made of such light materials, no matter what dragon form they take, they’ll always be lighter than that species’ normal weight. But they are very protective of their ‘cores’--the nebula inside of them. For if its destroyed, they die, never to come back in any form. They’re flighty, because of this. If they sense harm will come to them, they will shift into their gaseous form, and run.
