Dream Vortexes

Overview
The Vortex entities are a parasitic form of Fae, exiled from the Fair Lands for being contaminated by the Bleed, much like the Sheeda. However, unlike the Sheeda, the Bleed corruption in these beings is so devastating that they cannot survive on their own. They require a host of very specific genetic and psychic traits. The vast majority of Vortexes die before finding a host. Dream Vortexes grow from hatchlings into mature beings and can give birth to offsprings. The parent has no parental instinct to care for their child due to the Bleed's corruption.

The Vortexes are not vampiric. They don't feed on their host, they merely exist inside the host. They have no specific ill intent, all that having been stripped away by the Bleed corruption. Their only wish is to survive. But their survival causes the Bleed corruption to infect its host and the host's aura.

Even if a host can't dream, a Dream Vortex can thrive on host's lifeforce.

Trivia

 * Dream's Axiom orders him to kill Dream Vortexes. Vortexes typically only pose a significant threat when they've fully matured from child to adult when the imagination and wonder of her thoughts take a backseat to insecurities and stress.
