Traits

Malformed saura is a less understood form of saura, but has come to be considered as more dangerous than even a Frenzied Myst Possession.  Malformed saura is most commonly distinguished by skeletal tails, however there are some other common signs such as charms that appear heavily broken (and especially charms that are each broken in different ways!), ears that appear heavily torn, and bodies that are fragmented beyond the normal 50% that is possible for a typical Lockette to survive.  Malformed saura is unable to be replenished in the ways that a standard saura or inked saura can be - eating and drinking do nothing for them, they have to remove it from their shell as waste as their saura will not dissolve it.  Use and presence of their summons does not build additional saura for them either.  These Lockettes have one resort to survive - consumption of the life energy or saura of others.  Saura of another Lockette will feed them for longer than the life energy of a non-Lockette, but it can be more dangerous to take…  They can become even more dangerous when possessed.

An inked Lockette who is also malformed is typically very unlikely to survive long, as their saura will have more difficulty in consuming the less tangible saura or life energy of others and normal inked are already rare enough to find.  However, it is not completely impossible for a malformed ink Lockette to manage long-term survival…
