Homebrew Dementor Species Details
"Dementors are among the foulest creatures that walk this earth. They infest the darkest, filthiest places, they glory in decay and despair, they drain peace, hope, and happiness out of the air around them... Get too near a Dementor and every good feeling, every happy memory will be sucked out of you. If it can, the Dementor will feed on you long enough to reduce you to something like itself... soulless and evil. You will be left with nothing but the worst experiences of your life, and you will just be an empty shell that lost its soul."
A Dementor is a gliding, wraithlike Dark creature, widely considered to be one of the foulest of the Dark creatures to inhabit the world. Dementors feed on human happiness and thus generated feelings of depression and despair in any person in close proximity to them. They can also consume a person's soul, leaving their victims in a permanent vegetative state, and thus are often referred to as "soul-sucking fiends", and the people they left soulless were deemed to have been turned into an "empty-shell".
