Description
Obscura is a sleek, black serpentine creature, its scales shimmering with faint green and purple veins that pulse like distant stars. Its eyes glow eerily, shifting in intensity with its mood. The whip-like tail ends in barbed spines, and its small, aerodynamic body allows silent flight or tight coiling around objects. It often hovers around Rook or perches on his shoulder, moving like a shadow made alive.
