The pain anglers from the Realm of Anger are common arachnid companions, although they’re not so much domesticated as they are symbiotic opportunists.
Pain anglers consume the pain of their hosts, whether it be physical, psychological or emotional. Given the violent nature of the realm, they rarely ever go hungry and see regular use in health care.
The numbness left through pain consumption can cause issues with diagnosis so pain anglers are not introduced until after a thorough examination. Multiple anglers may be required if a patient has severe issues as the capacity of a pain angler is not infinite.
The name ‘pain angler’ comes from the fact that the arachnids dangle over their hosts as they sleep, coming close but not quite touching them. While some hosts find this behaviour unnerving initially the fear tends not to last long as the pain angler will consume it (counting as psychological pain).
When not eating pain, the anglers tend house although most will refuse to do ironing or windows. Not that they have any issues doing so, it’s just something most hate.

Original SA Post: You have summoned Paeiniter from the Realm of Anger!
Paeiniter has come to eat your pain! If you ever run out of pain it will do things to create pain. If you have lots of pain then Paeiniter is happy to share the housework, except ironing.
