Characteristics
The dark star is a large, spherical monster that resembles an anthropomorphic sun or star. Like all monsters from the World of Darkness, it is completely pitch-black. It has a perpetually grinning face, along with a squat nose and beady eyes, and the back of its body is covered with sharp spikes, meant to evoke the image of a star's corona. The dark star has a smaller satellite with a grinning face orbiting its body that looks like a comet with a long, trailing tail. It attacks by swallowing its satellite and spitting it at enemies, after which it returns to the dark star.
