Interesting facts🔮
1. They even have their own semblance of religion and beliefs. What makes them distinctive is their ability to behave completely silently: even the flapping of their large wings makes no sound.
Even the Creeping Chaos himself—Nyarlathotep—has no power over the Night Wraiths. Their patron stands a step above—the mighty Nodens. However, Nodens is their unquestioning master under all circumstances and conditions. However, a temporary master may be, by agreement, any human or ghoul. Night Wraiths generally communicate well with ghouls.
While night ghosts lack a body in common sense, they lack the properties of the real world and cannot be killed. On the other hand, by acquiring a physical body, they become stronger. At the same time, death in the real world does not have profound consequences for a ghost—over time, they can grow stronger and return from the Dream World again.
Oddly enough, Night Ghosts are very sensitive to children and do not harm them, but on the contrary, they can protect them if necessary.
The wingspan can reach up to 5 meters.
A distinctive feature of the mverzei is an asthenic physique, such a visual effect is created partly due to the absence of a digestive system and a narrowed body at the waist. Mannered, simpering, unnatural, impulsive movements and the desire to touch everything that is nearby, to stroke and taps. A winged creature with webbed wings, long prehensile fingers. It can tickle to death. A long smooth tail with a ribbed spike at the end. On the sides of the head there are bony outgrowths that look like horns. Inside the horns are sensory organs that have no analogues in humans. They are supposed to be responsible for abilities undeveloped in most people, such as telepathy. They can wrap their tail around the victim to hold on.
They are common in the Dream World, with the main concentration being found near Leng in the nearby aura. They prefer the highest caves in the mountain peaks, especially Mount Ngarek. They are highly social creatures, so they always live in large groups. Since they can sometimes be negotiated with or even tamed, either directly or more often through ghoul intermediaries, a group of night ghosts can settle in any location where an agreement to protect them is reached. Groups can also settle near areas where they can feed on negative energy.
They often click their tails on the ground: they can express both simple expectation, interest and irritation. They laugh unpleasantly, quietly and coldly, even though they do not have a mouth. There are no facial features, only smooth shiny skin where the nose, eyes and lips should be. Due to the peculiarities of the way of eating, they are attracted to the places of the greatest release of negative energy. They feed near prisons, police stations, hospitals. There are cases when the Mverzi settled in large numbers in the attic of the house, in the basement of which the tortured prisoners were kept📝
No one knows how they reproduce, there are no sexual characteristics. There is a theory that Night ghosts appear when a person dies in his sleep. Another theory says that they are created by the Great God Nodens, who lives with his servants on the terrible Lang plateau among the ruins of the legendary city of Sarcomand.
Extremely interesting and controversial creatures, they appear mainly in the story "The Sleepwalking Quest of the Unknown Kalat" by Howard F. L., delivering Randolph Carter to the place of his desired dreams.
An angry or bored ghost without a shadow of conscience will grab a gawking person by the shoulders with tenacious toes and carry him away to his worlds, dropping him from a height or worse - into the abyss to the hungry huge worms of the Dhols. They can lift things that weigh more than them without much difficulty.
