Parasitic Echo

The colony exists as a shimmering veil over its living host, feeding on the warmth and breath of anything that gazes upon it.

Reflective Hunger

Each mirror-shape absorbs ambient light and converts it into raw hunger, growing stronger with every meal.

Tactics

It stalks its host in silence, using its polished surfaces to blind and disorient before striking. When threatened, it will shatter its own fragments to distract allies, leaving behind a trail of confused reflections.
