Drifts through demirealms without purpose, drawn to strong emotions and magical residue. Becomes aggressive and territorial when threatened. Will attempt to reach the Ethereal layer if reduced to half HP.

DN Note

Not malevolent - more like an animal in a strange ecological niche. A clever party might leave offerings of magical items or raw arcane energy to distract one rather than fighting it.
