Somniwyrms[1] are parasitic, one-eyed beings created out of supernatural energy.
History[]
The dream demon Morpheus sought to cross over to and conquer the physical plane. This feat required a lot of power and a form to inhabit. Morpheus took control of the radio host Barry Sherman and used his voice as a conduit into people's minds, where he would draw the necessary energy with these Somniwyrms. While a victim was dreaming, a Somniwyrm would attach a tentacle to the forehead of the victim and drain energy. As they stored more and more energy, they began to combine and return to Barry Sherman's radio station. The Somniwyrms began to form the Morpheus Vessel, a 20-foot-tall representation of the demon. It would serve as his body in the physical plane. Unfortunately, when the vessel was complete and Morpheus transferred himself from Berry into it, he had become completely ectoplasmic, allowing the Extreme Ghostbusters to easily capture him.
Powers[]
Somniwyrms give off no P.K.E. because they are not fully ecto, merely embryonic.[2][3][4] Because of this, these entities could not be trapped in a Trap nor confined in Proton Streams. If the Sherman show is turned off and the victim is woken before the feeding process is complete, the Somniwyrm melts into a unique ooze.
