The Heavy-hearted Spirit is a ball of scales and hair with one eye piercing out of its heart. It must feed on sadnesses and memory as it is only seen during the Mourning Moon. It rolls between sunlight and shade, causing whoever sees it to collapse. It is particularly dangerous to our elders, who carry the most sadness during the Mourning Moon and have fragile bones. Those who are lucky enough to have never lost a family member are immune.
