The Fragment is a Nightmare that, initially, appears to be a sudden and rapid growth of the same sort of crystals the Caverns are made of. It builds and cracks and lifts into the air, hovering amid a faint rainbow glow. For a moment, it looks very much like a sleeping person's Figment.
But then, almost like a person Awakening, a humanoid form coalesces around it, and it becomes a person: one of the Dreamers it's facing. It's identical, but something about it remains uncanny. The Fragment holds itself with the utmost authority, no matter who it's imitating, beckoning like a parent to a stubborn child as it tries to seize its counterpart. It changes its shape to match whoever it's currently engaging with, as well as their abilities and resistances. As such, its weaknesses vary as long as it can remain transformed!
Whatever it looks like, the Fragment can also attack with sharp crystalline fragments that it summons from within itself. It favors trying to pin Dreamers to walls or surfaces with these, or using them to shield itself from attack. Eventually, once it's been worn down enough, it will lose its power to imitate others. Without its illusions, it's very fragile and can easily be shattered via physical damage.
WIN CONDITIONS: ⧖ At least 3 characters must show up to fight ⧖ At least 15 comments must be posted across 2 threads.
