GENERAL INFORMATION

• Name: Blightmare
  
  • Nicknames:
    
    • “Blood Glitterhoof” (Lucy, affectionately)

• Description: The Blightmare is a massive, winged, equine Sithspawn abomination—a blend of nightmares, alchemical corruption, and warhorse design. Towering over traditional mounts, these creatures combine infernal beauty with raw destructive power. Often barded in living armor, with glowing horns and molten eyes, their very presence induces fear and hallucinations. Their signature trait: a corrupted unicorn horn capable of impaling enemies and draining life essence.

• Alchemical Core: Resistant to conventional weaponry, minor regenerative properties, and capable of psychic backlash to some Force attacks

Weaknesses:

• Tied to Master: These mounts are highly bonded to their creator/rider; if that individual dies, the Blightmare becomes wild and violently unstable

• Communication:
  
  • Screams, low huffing, horn-to-ground sparking displays
  • Some exhibit limited Force-based empathy toward their bonded rider
• Technology level: N/A – creatures do not use or understand tech, but may wear alchemically-forged armor and gear
• Religion/Beliefs: N/A – Beast species; however, they have been mythologized by some Sith cultists as the “Chosen Mounts of Shadow”
• General behavior:
  
  • Territorial, violent, and will gore intruders without hesitation
  • Bonded to a single rider, displaying loyalty and even protectiveness
  • Do not herd naturally; must be handled with mental conditioning or alchemical control methods
  • Nocturnal—prefer hunting and patrolling at night
• Personality: Think a fusion of a sith-demon, a disgruntled loth-cat, and a wrathful god. But… it kinda likes Lucy. She gave it marshmallows once.
• Intelligence: Smarter than the average soldier. Can understand Basic. Will not listen to anyone who is not Lucy unless Lucy is injured. Then it may gore the enemy without being asked.
• Battle Cry: Somewhere between a nexu's roar, a maglev, and a choir of screaming metal.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Created in the alchemy labs of Lucy, under the direct mentorship of the Lady of Secrets, Taeli Raaf, the Blightmare was the answer to a single question: What if warhorses could kill Jedi on their own? Through a fusion of corrupted equine DNA, Force-imbued crystal matrices, and Sithspawn grafting techniques, Lucy produced the first generation of Blightmares in secrecy.

The process involved failed prototypes—some combusted, others gored handlers—and only through Taeli’s assistance did Lucy stabilize the psychic imprint bonding ritual needed to ensure rider loyalty. The first bonded Blightmare, named Morsmallow, survived over ten battlefield simulations and once devoured a Jedi’s speeder in mid-air.

Their deployment has remained limited—used as elite mounts for Sith-aligned agents or shadowy riders of the Order of Shadows. With each new generation, Lucy experiments further, always asking: What else can it do?
