Pit of Despair

A Pit of Despair is a being made of pure, solid despair and agony. It can range from the size of a seed to the size of an entire moon, and vary greatly in shape, though it always takes the shape of a deep red, often gooey figure. Pits can be killed, but they do not age. A Pit can live for thousands of years if it stays away from any threats, and can even get stronger and bigger if it manages to prey on people.

Because it is made of pure, solid despair and agony, it has the ability to consume and envelop anything its size or smaller. Simply being around a Pit is a threat to one's life. The fumes created by a Pit are noxious and deadly, breathing in a small amount of it can cause mental health to shatter, symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other personality disorders can arise at best, and someone can go completely insane at worst. Touching a Pit of Despair always results in death, as it allows the pit to latch onto the prey, sucking it into itself and synthesizing it into a part of its own body.

They are primarily combated by the Lightbringers.
