Can relate: Got really fat during my 20s and now I’m losing it all 👍

They get energy from drinking the tears of Dark Souls players who have to fight it as a boss

It’s too bad they didn’t make the Moonlight Butterflies in the Crystal Caves hostile. Imagine the player tears after having to navigate narrow invisible walkways while dodging laser spam.

They eat nonstop and get fat as caterpillars, then spend most of their energy metamorphosing, and then the rest is for fucking and sucking
