 ====== Isferatos (Shadow Demons)======
-Isferotos, also known as "Shadow Demons," represent a menacing and enigmatic presence within the universe. Their origins lie in the summoning rituals of a long-forgotten warlock, who unleashed them upon the realm. Unlike many creatures bound by summoning, Isferotos were granted a frightening autonomy, allowed to roam freely and wreak havoc upon the denizens of the sector.
+{{  :species:isferatos1.png?400|}}Isferotos, also known as "Shadow Demons," represent a menacing and enigmatic presence within the universe. Their origins lie in the summoning rituals of a long-forgotten warlock, who unleashed them upon the realm. Unlike many creatures bound by summoning, Isferotos were granted a frightening autonomy, allowed to roam freely and wreak havoc upon the denizens of the sector.
 One of the most chilling aspects of Isferotos is their insatiable hunger for shadows, or worse yet, the souls of their victims. Their predatory nature knows no bounds, as they lurk in the darkness, ready to strike and consume whatever essence they can grasp. However, their malevolence doesn't end there; Isferotos possess the unnerving ability to attempt possession of their prey, further complicating the dangers they present.

 ===== Creation =====
-More than a millennium ago, a malevolent sorcerer, consumed by his thirst for power and driven by a desire for utter chaos and destruction, delved deep into forbidden arcane arts. This dark practitioner, whose name has long been lost to the annals of history, sought to unleash an unstoppable force upon the Universe plane of existence. With a cunning born of madness, he harnessed a fragment of his own soul, corrupting it with the very essence of darkness itself.

With a cunning born of madness, he harnessed a fragment of his own soul, corrupting it with the very essence of darkness itself.
 Drawing upon the forbidden knowledge hidden within ancient tomes and whispered secrets, the warlock wove intricate rituals, sacrificing sanity and morality in his pursuit of dominance. Through the unholy convergence of his corrupted soul and the primal energies of darkness, he succeeded in breaching the barriers between worlds, summoning forth the Isferatos—an army of shadowy horrors unlike anything the universe had witnessed before.

 ===== History =====
-In the wake of the Isferatos' arrival, chaos reigned supreme across the universe. Their initial onslaught was indiscriminate, as they pounced upon anything that dared to move within their shadowy grasp. However, it wasn't long before their predatory instincts honed in on the tastier morsels of sentient beings, whose souls offered a delectable feast.

 The Isferatos, cunning in their malevolence, soon learned to discern between the pure and the corrupted among sentient beings. Evil souls held little appeal to these shadow demons, their essence already tainted and unpalatable. Instead, they set their sights on the weak and vulnerable, preying upon those who lacked the strength to resist their ethereal onslaught.

 ===== Habitat and Population =====
-The Isferatos, driven by an insatiable hunger and an instinctual desire to propagate their dark essence, pay little heed to the notion of habitat. Their existence is consumed by a single-minded pursuit: to feed upon shadows and souls, and to proliferate their kind with ruthless efficiency. This singular focus renders them indifferent to the environments they inhabit, as their primal urges override any concern for comfort or suitability.

 As a consequence of their relentless pursuit of sustenance, Isferatos have become disturbingly common throughout the universe. Their presence looms like a shadowy specter, haunting every corner of the cosmos with their eerie presence. From the deepest reaches of space to the darkest depths of planetary caverns, no realm is truly safe from their predatory grasp.

 ==== Life Cycle ====
-The reproductive capabilities of Pure Isferatos stand as a testament to their formidable nature, their ability to spawn new progeny a relentless force of darkness that knows no bounds. In the shadowy depths of dark places, this process unfolds with terrifying swiftness, the gestation and completion of a new Isferatos occurring in the span of a mere hour. However, the presence of light serves as a hindrance to this dark ritual, slowing the process and impeding the Isferatos' ability to multiply with such alarming efficiency.

However, the presence of light serves as a hindrance to this dark ritual, slowing the process and impeding the Isferatos' ability to multiply with such alarming efficiency.
 In the dim recesses of shadow, where darkness reigns supreme, the birth of a new Isferatos is a swift and unholy affair. With no need for external assistance, the Pure Isferatos begins the process of reproduction with a chilling sense of purpose, drawing upon the essence of consumed souls to fuel its dark transformation. Within the span of a single hour, the transformation is complete, and a new Isferatos emerges from the shadows, fully formed and ready to wreak havoc upon the world.

 ===== Culture =====
 ==== Language ====
-Isferatos don’t speak anything other than growls or roars.
+The communication of Isferatos is as primal and primitive as their insatiable hunger for shadows and souls. Devoid of language in any conventional sense, these shadowy entities rely instead on a repertoire of growls, roars, and other guttural sounds to convey their intentions and desires.
+To mortal ears, the sounds emitted by Isferatos may seem like little more than animalistic noises, devoid of meaning or significance. Yet, to those attuned to the darkness, each growl and roar carries with it a wealth of information—a sinister symphony of aggression and dominance that speaks volumes without the need for words.
+In their dark and twisted minds, the Isferatos have no need for language, for their desires are simple and primal: to hunt, to feed, and to propagate their dark essence. Through their guttural utterances, they communicate their intentions to one another, coordinating their movements with a precision born of instinct and experience.
+For those unfortunate enough to encounter an Isferatos, the sound of their growls and roars is a chilling reminder of the darkness that lurks within. It is a language of fear and intimidation, designed to instill terror in the hearts of their prey and deter any who would dare to challenge their dominance.
+And so, the Isferatos roam the cosmos in silence, their voices lost to the void, their presence heralded only by the eerie echoes of their primal cries. In a universe where light and darkness wage an eternal war for supremacy, the language of the Isferatos is one of fear and despair—a chilling testament to the malevolent nature of these shadowy predators.
 ==== Attire ====
-Pure Isferatos are covered in shadows and darkness
+Pure Isferatos are enshrouded in an aura of darkness so thick and palpable that it seems to swallow the very light around them. From head to toe, their formless silhouettes are cloaked in a swirling mass of shadows, their every movement accompanied by the ominous whisper of darkness that clings to their ethereal forms.
+At first glance, it is difficult to discern where the Isferatos end and the shadows begin, so seamless is the integration of their dark essence with the surrounding gloom. Their features are obscured by the inky blackness that envelops them, rendering them as indistinct and inscrutable as the night itself.
+Yet, despite their formless appearance, there is an undeniable presence to the Pure Isferatos—a sense of malevolence that hangs heavy in the air, suffusing the surrounding space with an aura of dread. From their glowing eyes, burning with an unholy light, to the eerie whispers that seem to emanate from the depths of their shadowy forms, there is an unmistakable sense that these are creatures not to be trifled with.
+In the dim light of the cosmos, where darkness reigns supreme, the Pure Isferatos are the embodiment of primal fear and terror. Their shadowy presence looms large in the nightmares of mortals, their insatiable hunger for darkness and despair driving them ever onward in their relentless quest for dominion over the universe.
+And so, the Pure Isferatos drift silently through the void, their forms melding seamlessly with the shadows that surround them. In a universe where light and darkness wage an eternal war for supremacy, they stand as harbingers of the night, their dark essence a chilling reminder of the ever-present threat that lurks within the shadows.
 ===== Society =====
 ==== Kinship ====
-Isferatos don’t love, but they do have offspring, and they do have sentient offspring in [[species:shadowkin]]
+In the mysterious realm of Isferatos, where darkness reigns supreme and the boundaries between light and shadow blur, notions of love and affection hold little sway. Yet, despite their insatiable hunger and primal instincts, the Isferatos are not devoid of kinship. In their own twisted way, they do have offspring, born from the dark rituals of their reproduction, and in rare instances, they give rise to accidental sentient offspring known as Shadowkin.
+For the Isferatos, the act of reproduction is a purely instinctual process, driven by the relentless urge to propagate their dark essence. Through some dark and mysterious power, they draw upon the consumed souls of their victims to fuel the creation of new progeny, birthing forth new Isferatos from the depths of shadow and despair.
+These offspring, born from the union of darkness and despair, are as devoid of love and affection as their progenitors. They are driven by the same insatiable hunger that consumes their parents, their minds consumed by thoughts of predation and destruction.
+Yet, amidst the endless cycle of darkness and despair, there exists a rare phenomenon—the birth of accidental sentient offspring known as Shadowkin. Unlike their brethren, who are little more than mindless predators, these [[species:shadowkin]] possess a degree of self-awareness and intelligence that sets them apart from their kin.
+It is believed that the creation of Shadowkin occurs when the Isferatos inadvertently imbue a portion of their dark essence with the soul of a victim, resulting in a hybrid creature with traits of both predator and prey. These Shadowkin possess a semblance of sentience and free will, allowing them to exist as more than mere extensions of their parent's will.
+In the endless expanse of the cosmos, where light and darkness wage an eternal war for supremacy, the Isferatos and their kin stand as harbingers of the night, their existence a chilling reminder of the ever-present threat that lurks within the shadows.
 ==== Conflict ====
-Pure Isferatos are very violent and are a threat to everyone and everything around them.
+The Pure Isferatos are embodiments of violence and malevolence, their very presence heralding a reign of terror and destruction that knows no bounds. Born from the darkest depths of the cosmos, these shadowy entities are relentless predators, driven by an insatiable hunger for shadows and souls that consumes their every thought and action.
+From the moment they emerge from the void, the Pure Isferatos are consumed by a primal urge to hunt and feed, their minds clouded by thoughts of predation and carnage. With every movement, they exude an aura of menace and aggression, their shadowy forms radiating with an unholy energy that strikes fear into the hearts of all who dare to cross their path.
+Their violence knows no discrimination, for the Pure Isferatos are a threat to everyone and everything around them. Whether mortal or immortal, sentient or beast, all are fair game to these relentless predators, their hunger for darkness and despair driving them to hunt without mercy or remorse.
+In their relentless pursuit of prey, the Pure Isferatos leave a trail of destruction in their wake, their every action marked by violence and chaos. From the barren wastelands of ravaged planets to the shattered remains of civilizations long forgotten, there is no corner of the cosmos that is safe from their dark and twisted influence.
+Yet, it is not only physical violence that the Pure Isferatos inflict upon the world around them. Their mere presence is enough to instill terror and despair in the hearts of mortals, their shadowy forms looming large in the nightmares of those unfortunate enough to encounter them.
+In the endless expanse of the cosmos, where light and darkness wage an eternal war for supremacy, the Pure Isferatos stand as harbingers of the night, their violence and aggression a chilling reminder of the ever-present threat that lurks within the shadows. And as long as darkness exists, so too shall they, eternal predators of the night, forever haunting the nightmares of mortals with their relentless pursuit of darkness and despair.
