So. This is another one of those  lionkinglover12 inspired stories. This is a quickie, really - mostly to sorta help lionkinglover12 have something to go off of (as I suggested Keph, a "professor" at Terra Academy) as a 'guest' in his Paradox arc.


Also now the jungle is named, and, well, let's just say.... in the jungle, your dreams CAN come true, but this also means your nightmares can, too. Nightmare creatures lurk within the jungle, which acts as a seal for keeping those monsters at bay. This does not mean that there isn't the occasional breach.

Thus I do have sort of an idea for some 'monster-of-the-week' type quickies in which the characters either face down a nightmare creature to try and banish it, or where one of them breaches and someone with experience in fighting these creatures comes out to try and reel it in. These creatures are born of magic.

Zùcar: The Piñata

I have no idea where this creature came from. I don't know the person whose nightmare spawned this... abomination. But whatever the case is, we're here to deal with it.

Zùcar actually takes the form of a green chiclet, daring its victims to chew on it. When the victim chews on it, it will try to make itself become swallowed. When that's done, then there is no chance - Zùcar will put their victim's identity to sleep, and become the dominant identity. Zùcar will get as much candy and as much materials as it can and construct a paper mache shell, eventually turning its victim's body into paper mache itself. Fortunately, there is still hope for the victim - Zùcar's body must be destroyed or heavily injured, which will free its host and all the souls it has acquired.

Zùcar has the ability to turn others into piñatas, however the method is simply that he eats them, then 'digests' their bodies into paper mache.

We have tried destroying it, but it seems to be able to regenerate as long as it can be exposed to dream energies. We have tried burying it, and it still made its way into somebody's mouth. We tried freezing it and it still infected someone. We even tried burning it and it still got into somebody's mouth. This time, however, burying it in the bottom of the ocean isn't going to work. (Keph and Oaksiszmi made sure to yell at Enki and inform him his plan didn't work.)
