Empamoms are small creatures ranging from 30 cm to 45 cm long (1-1.5 feet) from the Void of Gloom. They reside within shells made of gold and cut precious gems of enormous size.
Empamoms have the ability to consume confidence and ego, converting them into gold and precious minerals which they use to increase the size of their shell. The process leaves the source apathetic and depressed due to the loss of their self-worth. The process to create significant material requires a proportionate amount of confidence and ego, meaning that most empamoms seek out individuals of exceptional power and influence to drain.
The loss of self-image often leads to serious mistakes or simple indifference to what they have, and often the individuals used as a source of ego wind up losing considerable power. This is no issue to the empamom which simple seeks out whoever fills the vacuum left.
Corporations generally avoid empamoms; while their nature can be used to sabotage competitors the threat they pose means they’re not considered a feasible risk.

SA Post: You have summoned MEETRIUS from the Void of Gloom.
This small, greedy creature — no bigger than a loaf of bread — has the power to transform one’s personal power into gold and jewels. You have nowhere near enough power to interest it but it has promised you a share of the bounty if you can get it within close proximity to people of power and influence…
