Oracle hasn’t had a chance in the spotlight in some time, so I’m drawing him getting his chance to shine. Though, in a more gruesome way than I had originally planned. This is a representation of demon hunger, that even the most calm and docile demons can become hostile and bloodthirsty. Know that Oracle isn’t doing it on purpose. Here’s how demon hunger works far more in depth:

A demon can go a total of 2 weeks without the need to kill more for a soul. If a demon is unable or refuses to kill, they slowly (and forcibly) revert to a more primal and savage nature. As souls act as both energy and sanity, demons need a certain amount of souls to even form one, as their bodies require a lot of energy so as to not become primal. Why is going primal so bad even though they already kill? Well, hungry demons need to kill 2 or 3 times as much so as to make up for the time they should’ve already had one. Demons also have absolutely zero memory of what happens or who they kill. A demon who doesn’t kill elders may kill elders during their time of savagery. It doesn’t make them feel good, believe it or not.

Here, Oracle usually only needs to kill 10 people to have a full soul. But, if he doesn’t hunt, he’ll have to kill 20, maybe even 30 people instead. He is also a Lesser and is small in stature for a demon. Remembering that there are demons like Gaze that are very big, one could imagine the damage that can do to a civilization. It is easy to know when a demon is hungry, as they will have one or more rings around their eyes.

This is the reason Demon Hunters sprung up, but killing a hungry demon, or a demon in general, is impossible. One would have better luck trying to get the moon to become the new Sun than to get in the way of our dear Oracle here. Who happened to have found some rather unfortunate campers.
