Does Null eat food? If so, what is their favorite meal?
thank you for the question!
as a general rule of thumb, most dark matter entities don't live through physical substance. they feed off of negativity, which is pretty easy to cultivate if you know what you're doing - null's purpose, to be a "harbinger of fear", is essentially mass producing fear so that the entire colony has something to eat whenever they need it
paradoxically, though, null is a massive fat ass. it eats for FUN. and that's actually why it used to be considered such a menace. because dark matter doesn't need to eat physical things, null can never get full or tired of eating. irritate it enough and it can cripple an entire country by consuming all of your food, all of your livestock, even all of your raw crops, so long as it has the leeway to do so. unprepared civilizations were DEVESTATED by its existence, which allowed dark matter to persist as the dominant ruling force for so long until galacta knight showed up
but its got a massive sweet tooth, which made it pretty easy to ward away with offerings, so this didn't happen very frequently. a nice big chocolate bar is usually enough to tide it over for a while!
