Soul Eater

Soul Eaters is a species of creatures living within The Rift. They first appear as special enemies debuting in Middens.

Physical Characteristics
Soul Eaters are creatures with characteristics similar to fishes. Their bodies are fusiform in shape, and it is mainly colored light brown with some of the portions white.

The muzzle of the Soul Eater, unlike the rest of its body, has no skin and its lips extends to its eyes, which results with visible jaw bones with black stripes and exposed sharp teeth. It contains three eyes, which are human-like and possess light green irises. The surrounding region of its eyes has pinkish folded flaps of skin surrounding it, and a piece of a tendon-like muscle attaches on the lower portions of its head to the lower jaw. The upper portions of its head is pink and red and has a visceral appearance, while it is shown to have grown three tendrils with webbed projections, where the third eye is nestled between the front most and the middlemost of the tendrils.

At the side of its body is a folded flap of exposed muscle, its purpose unknown. The underside of its body has a more reddish color, where the frontal part has short bristles while the back part has brush-like projections. It possesses a rough equivalent of a tail, which is a series of thorny projections that are in light brown and light pink.

They are one of the creatures within The Rift to have details of its offspring, although its characteristics and behavior are far different from the adults.

Behavior
Soul Eaters are aggressive enemies found in various locations throughout the Rift. They cannot be shot, and upon contact, a battle will initiate. They seem to have a negative reaction to sound, as they appear, accompanied by a horse's whinny, and charge at The Nomad when they use their Accoustics in certain areas. Upon leaving and re-entering a room, the Soul Eater will be replaced and once again chase after The Nomad.
