Imaginary Friend

Family: Ghost?

Type: Undead?

Habitat: Human Settlements, Demon Realms

Disposition: Extremely clingy, variable

Diet: Men’s Spirit Energy

This is a rare monster born from the desires of humans. As a boy is growing up they may create a fictional friend to play with. This is especially common in children that are often alone. Normally as the child grows up the imaginary friend is slowly forgotten as they become adults. Sometimes though a child will have such a strong belief beyond reason in their imaginary friend. In these instances this belief may start to attract the ambient demonic energy found in the environment.

This demonic energy twists the belief to be more similar to that of a monster. Even if the imaginary friend was originally a boy soon the child will start picturing her as a female. Over time the image of the friend becomes more and more attractive until they resemble the man’s ideal mate.

Eventually the man will have no choice but to release some spirit energy while thinking of his imaginary friend. This is enough to burn a connection between the two and allow the imaginary friend to materialize for the first time in front of her man. Seeing his ideal woman right in front of him and relieved that he hadn’t been making it up this entire time he will surely take her as a lover right then and there.

An imaginary friend has a body that is similar to that of a ghost, being made of a blue energy and translucent. They can also become immaterial like any other spirit. Friends also have the strange ability with enough spirit energy to evolve into phantoms. Because of these features it is speculated that imaginary friends are actually really old ghosts who have lost their sense of self, but this theory has yet to be proven.

The personality of a friend is highly dependent on the tastes of the man that she is bound to and fits them perfectly. A man who complains about getting browbeaten by his friend most surely is enjoying it on the inside. The one personality trait that they share is being extremely clingy. As they are born from a desire for companionship being separated from their mate causes extreme anxiety and loneliness. According to them it feels like their existence is unstable and they will fade away. A man who goes outside their friend’s sight likely will find their friend hunting them down and assaulting them until the friend is full of their warmth.

Normally it takes quite some time for an imaginary friend to materialize, so generally only imaginary friends who are still believed in by the teenage years come into existence. If there is a large amount of demonic energy or if the desire is especially intense then a friend might materialize at a younger age.

Surprisingly, an imaginary friend has a method of monsterizing men similar to Alps. If a man believes that their “ideal form” is that of a woman instead of a man this desire will be engrained upon the friend which is nothing but a mass of desire. When the friend first materializes the man will be so taken by his ideal form that he will embrace it and they will undergo fusion. The demonic energy burns away the man’s capability to produce spirit energy and they become one monster. This monster takes the form of the imaginary friend and the man becomes his ideal womanly form. In the end, the monster that is produced is exactly the same as a Narcissus, a monster formed when a woman obtains an imaginary friend so please see her page for more information.
