Summary
The feaster is a quadrupedal beast that dines upon the memories of those it is able to catch unawares or otherwise subdue.
Physiology
Feasters are slender, vaguely canid creatures with an eyeless, mandible-laden face. Their skin color ranges from black to white with various drab, bluish hues in between.
The feaster has no eyes, and is thought to locate its prey by sensing nearby concentrations of consciousness.
Its legs are long and black and lined with slender, flexible spines. Its insides are also usually black or dark gray.
The feaster has a long, whiplike tail.
Habitat
Feasters are seen both roaming the streets of Nodd and the wilderness beyond. Here, they tend to favor large stretches of plains, though can sometimes be seen in forests and caves.
Reproduction
The male feaster has a sheath with a black, subtly-spined penis. The female has a prominent, spade-shaped vulva.
Feasters tend to have proportionately small genitalia - at least in comparison to many creatures in Nodd.
Behavior
Feasters are agile and confident in their stride. They seem intelligent, but do not speak.
Feasters generally spend a lot of time stalking their prey before pursuing them, and in most cases remain undetected for days at a time before striking. During this time, it's thought to be “tasting” its target's life and hunting for the perfect meal.
Diet
Feasters eat only memories. This is achieved by the feaster latching onto the prey’s skull with their mandibles and siphoning out select patches of consciousness. The victim will usually survive the encounter, but will no longer be able to recall the stolen memories.
Inside the creature, the memories are stripped of meaning, and what remains is known as "tedium", which is then discarded. The tedium is expelled as a black haze from one or both ends. Inhaling this haze would yield a jumbled mash of contextless, meaningless sensations and emotions.
Common Uses
The feaster is mostly feared by citizens, but may be used by beastmages in combat, or appear in a menagerist's collection. They may also be used in the context of therapy, where they feed on the traumatic memories of consenting clientele.
