Dreameater.

---

A Dreameater devours the nightmares of all manner of dragons and beasts and It cannot be summoned without caution. Ancient legends say that if a Dreameater is not satisfied after consuming the nightmare, he or she may also devour one’s hopes and dreams.

More commonly Imperial dragons in appearance it’s not unheard of to see other breeds but to a lesser degree. They favour items that extenuate their nightmarish appearance, dark or cursed objects are their most treasured. The oldest of the Dreameaters are usually mottled with scars from their numerous battles for control of their respective groups, battles of dominance and supreme leadership with others of their kind.

Legend has it, that if a dragon or beast wakes up from a bad dream they can call out to a Dreameater repeating it's name three times and it will appear. It is known that the Dreameater will come into the lair and devour the bad dream, allowing the dreamer to go back to sleep peacefully.

However, calling to the Dreameater must be done sparingly, because if he or she remains hungry after eating someone's nightmare, they may also devour the hopes and desires as well, leaving the afflicted dreamer to live an empty life. A Dreameater can also be summoned for protection from bad dreams prior to falling asleep at night and talismans are often kept close to sleeping quarters to help ward off the bad dreams.

Often mistaken for dragons possessed by the shade they are avoided by all within a lair until called upon. The fact that they have never confirmed or denied that they are possessed by the shade has not helped them to fully fit into any clan. Due to their movements and appearance other dragons fear them as shade emissaries, their presence often causes hatchlings to become afflicted by nightmares due to their appearance meaning that they are called forward more often then they should be.
