What are they? wrote: You may call it his "imaginary friend", but it's more than imaginary. It's real. These creatures are spirits of dreams. They are guardians who watch over children at night, fighting nightmares and the children's fears so that they may sleep peacefully. In fact, these creatures feed off of it. If a child is scared of the dark, the Musoka will light up the night with it's dim lighted orbs and absorb in the scary darkness. These creatures are only seen by the children, and not their parents or other adults. That is why the adults may say: "Oh, she's just talking to her imaginary friend again". The Musoka will usually stay with one child until they grow up, then the creature will fade from sight from that person and will move on to another child.
They resemble dragons with a large puffy tail and orbs wrapped around it's muzzle with string. Musoka may appear to children as large as Great Danes, or as small as Beagles. Musoka have many different horns and accessories (Sometimes none at all!), but will always have orbs attached to string. The orbs hold a Musoka's power, and if it is lost, the Musoka will die. Musoka and the children they watch over are as close as peas in a pod. The Musoka will have a special bond with that child and grow close until the child turns into adult. Colors vary from creature to creature, and does not show specific gender.
Inspired by a fruitcake and a mistletoe.
