An unstable, experimental prototype Kreature's nucleus accidentally grew inside its of own heart, which subsequently mutated into a wholly separate organism. It has a watertight, translucent membrane to prevent itself from drying out. It is known to be docile, affectionate, loyal, and makes a good pet. Its rhythmic throbbing can induce a soothing feeling in its Tamer via infrasound. It stores up extra blood and can superheat it to scald an opponent. If need be, it can take a genetic sample from an organism and copy its blood type and composition, allowing it to supply blood for transfusions. Feral Heartlings have been found living in the sewers and storm drains of abandoned hospitals, sustaining themselves on organic waste, but they have specialized care requirements and thrive much better in captivity.
