Chapter 3: Non-beings
O
fficially termed "Non-Human Spiritous
Apparitions," non-beings is the final category
to describe a phenomenom that defies
explanation. They are neither spirits nor
beasts, and it is believed that non-beings are
not even truly alive. There are very few types of
non-beings, but their abnormality has earned
them wide-reaching reputations.
Chapter 3: Non-Beings

Dementor
"The dementor is among the foulest creatures that walk this
earth. They infest the darkest, filthiest places, they glory in
decay and despair, they drain peace, hope, and happiness out
of the air around them... Get too near a dementor and every
good feeling, every happy memory will be sucked out of you."
Dark Entities. Dementors are believed to be formed from
the negative emotions of humans, much like poltergeists.
Dementors grow like fungi in dark places filled with decay.
Large groups of them will be surrounded by a freezing mist
that rolls across the countryside like fog, affecting entire
populations with their negative energy.
Because dementors are not truly alive, they cannot be
forcibly destroyed or killed. A dementor can be driven to flee
through spells like the Patronus Charm, but given time, it will
eventually gather its strength back.
Depression Manifested. A dementor is best described as
depression in a corporeal form. Its very presence drains the
warmth and happiness out of anyone unfortunate enough to
cross its path, filling them with despair and forcing them to
relive their worst memories. This same aura pulls warmth
from the air, causing frost to collect on surfaces and nearby
water to freeze. Prolonged exposure to a dementor often
drives a victim insane. This made dementors extremely
effective guards in Azkaban prison, destroying any hope of
escape among the inmates.
Dementors are blind, but they can sense the emotions of
people around them. They seem to be naturally drawn to
individuals who have experienced great suffering or some
kind of trauma in their lives. This sense doesn't work very
well on animals, which would feel less human, less complex
and less appealing. Muggles cannot see dementors, but still
suffer their effects and are threatened by them.
Spending time away from a dementor is enough to cure an
individual of these negative effects, but eating chocolate is a
fast-acting remedy. The chocolate clears the victim's head and
returns warmth to their limbs.
Soul Eaters. If dementors relish fear and suffering, the
ultimate prize is the consumption of a human soul. If it
wishes, a dementor can latch its mouth onto a victim's and
suck out that person's soul. Known as the Dementor's Kiss,
this leaves the victim in a state "worse than death," an empty
shell of a body with no sense of self. Little is known about the
true impact of such a loss, but there is no chance of recovery.
When promised suffering and souls, dementors will
cooperate and follow orders. No matter how obedient they
may appear, they always act in their own self-interest. They do
not care who is the victim and will gladly drain the emotions
or soul from anyone readily available.
Amortal Nature. A dementor doesn't require air, drink, or
sleep. Being starved of human emotions for an extended
period may cause a dementor to be unmade, but this has
never been witnessed first hand. It's also been speculated that
reducing the amount of negative emotion in the world will
thin the dementors' numbers. At the very least, this limits the
conditions which allow them to multiply, but dementors
always seem to form, given enough time.
