A new creature enters the ranks! A ferrofluid synth-dragon that hijacks the body of a host, encasing them in thick ferrofluid and connecting them to a hivemind network.

Hoard is an overall hoarding of assimilated victims, all under the influence of hypnosis and ferrofluid. Hoard can also be referring to an individual instance of the creature; with or without a host.

When the visor is disturbed; thick ferrofluid rapidly ejects and encompasses the victim. If no victim is within the initial burst of ferrofluid, a dragon-like form will be generated to seek out the disturbance. When acquiring a new host, they will be subdued with hypnotic displays and ferrofluid, alongside other methods if needed.

Once a host is encased, the visor latches overtop the victim's head as the ferrofluid mimics their body's furpatterns and core features with a lighter shade of the ferrofluid. Additionally, features of the victim can be augmented, overridden, or added on as desired by Hoard. After a while, the victim will be permanently corrupted into a ferrofluid-composed clone of themselves, becoming a new addition to the hivemind network.

Very excited to have this clingy creature brought to life! Expect lots of fun out of him in the future~
