The visskiss paineater is a symbiotic creature used commonly within the Door of Horror for medicinal and recreational purposes. Often taking the form of “Bottled Paineater” as the one liter bottles make for a convenient home for the creature.
Visskiss paineaters are soft bodied horror worm, which live in discarded shells, bones, or other hollow places which they fill with a black mucus-like substance to keep their bodies moist. This substance is painful to the touch, causing a stabbing and burning sensation, but the pain is brief.
When they detect a target creature with sufficient pain and suffering (both physical and mental will suffice) they will spring from their homes and attach themselves to the victim — the face seems to be preferred. Once attached they are extremely difficult to remove as all five mouths will bite into the target and the teeth will hook into the flesh.
A few moments later the flesh around the bites will numb as the creature begins to feed off the pain and horror of its target, causing a numbing feeling which some individuals have described as ‘euphoric’ while others just feel relief from their pain.
Once drained, the visskiss paineater will retreat back into its home to digest, expelling waste products in the form of gold nuggets.
Side effects of being fed upon by a visskiss paineater can include memory loss, lasting numbness of the bitten area (up to a week), and nightmares. Chronic pain takes 3-9 days to return, and the target will be unable to feel pain or sorrow of any sort for 2-4 days, although some individuals may find themselves numbed for up to a week.
Given the obvious benefits of the visskiss paineater they are a hotly contested creature. Human hunters of the visskiss paineater are usually killed, and is the primary reason why the Door of Horror is a plane extremely hostile to humanity in general.

Original SA Post:
You have summoned BOTTLED PAINEATER from the Door of Horror! Normally only available with a prescription, Bottled Paineater will rise from its bottle and somewhat ironically painfully attaches itself to your face and consumes your sorrow and pain. Once it has had its fill, it retracts to its bottle until you are ‘ripe’ enough again. Its waste product is gold nuggets, which it ejects from the bottle periodically.
Bottled Paineater is only available with a prescription. Side effects may include loss of memory, lack of feeling in face, lack of emotional response to misfortune, minor blood loss, nightmares. Do not store Bottled Paineater near an Internet connected device. Please ask your doctor and religious guide if BOTTLED PAINEATER is right for you.
