Blutkörpe

Blutkörpe is a term of German origin that translates literally to "blood body." It refers to a hypothetical or fictional entity that is composed of blood. While not a recognized biological or scientific concept, the idea of a blood-based creature appears in various forms of folklore, mythology, and speculative fiction. These entities can range from amorphous blobs of blood to more defined, anthropomorphic or zoomorphic beings. Often, they are depicted as having supernatural or monstrous qualities, driven by a need to consume blood or life force. The concept can be used metaphorically to represent primal instincts, corruption, or a perversion of life. The term itself suggests a visceral and unsettling image, drawing on the fundamental importance and symbolic weight of blood in human culture. In some narratives, Blutkörpe might be created through dark magic or be the result of a curse. Their characteristics and abilities are entirely dependent on the context in which they are presented, with no standardized lore or attributes associated with the term.
