The Nosferatu is one member of the Dracula family. While most vampires species are solitary, the Nosferatu lives in large communal flocks comprised of a single brooding female and her sterile male offspring. Once a queen is mated, during her nuptial flight, and has established her hive she will live out her days deep within the cave hive system.

Using their blood crops, foraging Nosferatu will collect the sanguine elixir and bring it back to feed the queen and their other hive mates. The inner workings of a hive are as complex as the cave system itself, with specific classes of Nosferatu catering to varies needs within the hive.

While humans do fall prey to the Nosferatu they are not selective and will also feed on livestock or other large fauna such as dragons. Their shoulder clasps aid in their feeding. Giving them a secure grip on their prey.

Despite folkloric anecdotes, religious paraphernalia does very little if anything in warding off the Nosferatu. It is in fact the ritualistic dressings and oils that the Nosferatu is adverse too, being an irritant or an over stimulant to it’s highly sensitive receptors.

My will to live and draw is back :"D

Prelude: Page 1 to 3.

Rewriting my lore for my character. Her name is now Amaranth, but she also goes by Maure (her name while she was in the Grimm Troupe).

Amaranth is not a Vessel, she was born into a normal family far from Hallownest, around 300 years before the events of the game. She grew up in a small kingdom built around and on a series of lakes. She loved to swim and catch little water bugs. In her free time, she would study under the local nailsmith, a bug she often saw as her father. She became quite adept at making deadly weapons.

But a terrible flood destroyed her whole kingdom and separated her and her family. she and the few bugs who survived stayed in the kingdom, rebuilding what they could, until a traveling circus appeared in their home, searching for scarlet flames. One of the members of the circus promised life and prosperity to whoever joined. Amaranth, desperate to find her parents, accepted. She became a member of the Grimm Troupe, but at a cost. Upon accepting her mask, she lost all empathy and became much stronger. She forgot her former life and completely devoted herself to the Troupe, taking on the name Maure. She searched far and wide for fallen kingdoms and scarlet flames with the Grimmkin at her side.

After serving the Troupe for almost 300 years, she encountered two bugs traveling to a distant kingdom. They had lost their minds due to being in the wastelands for so long, so they attacked her viciously. Maure, unprepared for their viciousness, was caught off guard. One of the bugs severely injured her, snapping off her left horn and clawing all over her shell and knocking off her mask. In a panic, Maure stabbed both bugs, killing them instantly. But because her mask had been knocked off, all her memories came back and her strength faded. She recognized the two bugs she had killed as her parents. Devastated and injured, she fled.

(Grimm would later find Maure's broken horn and mask. He replaced her with Divine.)

Maure barely made it to an empty town, where she found a well and she hoped it had water. But she fell down it, landing in the Forgotten Crossroads. She crept into Greenpath, where she fed on Squits and went into hiding.

And that's where Honeysuckle finds her :3

Maure is partially mute. She struggles to speak after she left the Grimm Troupe. She can string together a few coherent sentences and words. She also can't walk properly, as the accident and the fall down the well completely wrecked both of her legs. She uses her nail for support, until Honeysuckle made her some braces and began helping her move around. Honey also made her a prosthetic horn.

Anyways, that's my lore so far!

Sorry for rambling lol

I am having physical symptoms because I like this so much

I started a huge project today! I've been wanting to do this for quite some time with my Radiance/Immortal Light and Void/Unrelenting Darkness designs, and I needed to update my laptop wallpaper anyways! I'm planning to make a Grimm and Nightmare King wallpaper as well.

And I'm posting a lot more on Instagram now! I've also been busy with art college and putting together my visual development portfolio.

Stealing this for color theory reference
