Rhizotomy

"I will extinguish every light in the sky, and every hope in the universe." "- Rhizotomy"

Description
Rhizotomy is a star (101'000 km Radius) sized Shadow Beast-class life form. Despite it's appearance and luminosity, Rhizotomy is not actually hot. Rhizotomy has the appearance of a white dwarf star, is very bright, and does not produce any UV radiation/light. Instead, the light which Rhizotomy emits has the opposite affect - dampening light and obscuring their sources. The longer a light source is exposed to Rhizotomy's light, the more it will start to cease. A flashlight will take a minute to break, a fire will die out within 10 minutes, any luminescent creatures will die within an hour, and another star will extinguish within 1-10 years, depending on it's mass. Because of light's tendency to travel infinitely until obstructed, Rhizotomy will eventually extinguish all other stars in the universe."'Lifeforms tend to see the stars as a symbol of hope, looking to them as a guideline or inspiration. I shall extinguish all other stars in this universe, so that when a creature looks up to the sky and sees my light, all it will know is dread. It will know that I have come.'"Rhizotomy does not require sustenance.

Chronology
Rhizotomy used to be an unassuming and lifeless red dwarf star, with a large rocky planet alongside it's moon orbiting it. When THEM chose this small solar system to die in, the Shadow Zone encompassed the star. Over the period of 3.7 million years (300 Earth years because time moves faster within THEM's Shadow Zone), The star shifted from a red dwarf to a white dwarf, and became alive.

Rhizotomy assists it's brother, Taphonomy, in moving outside of the Shadow Zone by cancelling out the UV light approaching him with it's own light. Rhizotomy's goal is to extinguish all other stars, ushering the universe into a state where only Shadow Beasts can thrive.

As of the end of Jeff Glowvus' campaign, Rhizotomy has put out ~70'000 stars.
