Or, more likely than any of those...they run on magic.

Make it so they use gems to absorb living things?
On a side note, I'm shocked that this thread has lived without me!

The thread is a doll!

... it seems like a doll of such epicness would live off of exactly what a B12 thread lives off of.

FROM WHENCE CAME THIS VORACIOUS AETHER?! 

[Roraborialisforealis]

My God. I thought this thread was a puppet, something I could steer and manipulate, BUT WHAT I THOUGHT WAS WRONG. It has taken a life of its one, Quickly Cell-monk, get me my axe!

Which brings up an odd question... what would kill a soul doll? if the gem within which the soul resides is physically separated from its body, would that be its end? It seems that that gem would continue to be imbued with the doll's spirit, and could perform its treachery with ghostly fingers until it's given a new body, or destroyed... but how does one destroy such an evil object?

"The ring cannot be destroyed, Gimli, son of Gloin, by any craft that we here possess. The ring was made in the fires of Mount Doom. Only there can it be unmade. The ring must be taken deep into Mordor and cast back into the fiery chasm from whence it came. One of you must do this."

Perhaps make it so the gems occasionally show up when mining, and posses people who handle then?

I hope that appears at some point in the magic system T1 has brewing. If my boring Oak ring studded with oak and bands of cat bone caused any dwarf to pick it to go berserk, it would no longer be such a boring artifact. And if it was studded with a sentient gem that caused cats to pick it up and try to hide their "precious" in a safe place, while turning them into a monster, my entire life would be fulfilled.

Although, because the gems eat souls, they would totally suffer from prototype morality. EATING The good guys would be how you become one. Personally, I'm a humanidwarfatatirium.

I dont know, absorbing gems from dragons should give you firebreath, giants should make you grow, colossi make you out of bronze etc. it would be cool to have all these traits at one point, you could devour the world.

maybe kill it via smashing the gem? Also, is this gem the heart or brain of Dolly Jenson?
