Gladly.

The Pandora (or Pandorae for plural) are a race of shadowy creatures that are formed from nether. They are one of the primary antagonistic races in Dread Rising.

Pandora follow a color scheme of mostly black with very dark green, with glowing green eyes and sometimes mouth along with glowing green markings. Some Pandora species can also have grey and white in their color scheme as well. They do not have any internal organs other than something called a phylactery, which allows them to regenerate from anything no matter what unless it is destroyed, yet it can only be destroyed by Arcanes, Fallen and other Pandora. Pandora also possess corrosive black blood which spills out of any open wounds like a fountain. Pandorae will also collapse into puddles of this substance upon death.

Pandorae are sustained by ether, and actively seek it so they can feed off of it. They are also known to absorb or consume the souls of those they have killed. Once they’ve absorbed enough ether/souls, they will either grow bigger and stronger, or will split into multiple clones.

Pandorae radiate a mental aura which can have a variety of effects: it causes any nearby animal (or humanoid with animalistic traits) to be overwhelmed with fear, causing either the urge to flee, passing out or paralysis. This aura also causes any nearby plants to wither and metal to rust. Large concentrations of Pandorae in an area also generate a substance known as ‘nether blight’ on any nearby surface.

Pandorae are also incapable of feeling pain, and grow stronger from negativity. They are also attracted to dark areas and derelicts.

Pandorae travel to areas using nether portals called “breaches”, however they only use these to travel to different locations and back.
