==Description==
===Appearance===
While this weapon was made out of a scale, it does appear like a small wing; it is mostly comprised of a crimson rocky blade that forms a jagged edge at its free end, held by an equally rocky black frame with bone-like appendages sprouting out from it to support the blade itself. The black frame stretches out around the bottom of the blade to form a grip for a user to hold onto, with a faded crimson pommel at the very end. Just like its user when they're in Hogferatu form,https://sonicfanon.fandom.com/wiki/The_Dark_Gaia_Scale_Sword#Powers_and_Traits the blade is covered in haphazardly-placed glowing neon (reds and blues and purples) rings and circles.
==Powers and Traits==
While the Dark Gaia Scale Sword's purpose is to turn its users into a Hogferatus, it also has its own form of sentience, as it is able to carry a part of Dark Gaia's soul. Whenever a user becomes a Hogferatu, which is only a result of them wielding the sword, they gain a new appearance with the addition of a grey tattered cape (with a silk blue inside) to their attire, as well as eye color changes, fang enlargement,https://sonicfanon.fandom.com/wiki/The_Dark_Gaia_Scale_Sword#User's_Skills_and_Abilities and glowing neon (reds and blues and purples) rings and circles appearing all over their bodies.https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Dark_Gaia%27s_Minions#Anatomyhttps://sonicfanon.fandom.com/wiki/Hogferatu_Spectrum_(Dark_Gaia_Vessel)#Appearance Beyond appearances, a user would be enhanced and given new abilities to aid in traversal and combat; beyond some set powers though, additional ones can be created and used depending on the user. 
===User's Skills and Abilities ===
Main article: Hogferatu Spectrum (Dark Gaia Vessel)
*Life Force Absorption/ZombificationThe ability to drain the life energy out of a living being, making the Hogferatu's other abilities stronger as a result. The victims of this ability are not killed outright as a result, but they instead become Zombie-like minions to the Hogferatu in question until their life force is restored to them (whether its intentionally given back to them by the Hogferatu themselves or via that same Hogferatu being defeated in battle).This ability does not turn others into Hogferatus. Again, the only way to become a Hogferatu is to wield a Dark Gaia Scale Sword.
*Enhanced Super Speed
*Enhanced Super Strength
*Enhanced Stamina
*Enhanced SensesEnhanced to the point where the Hogferatu can sense the presence of any desired object within a 100-mile radius.
*Enhanced Self-HealingThis does allow Hogferatus to have unnaturally long lives.
*Flight (via a user's cape turning into Wings)
*Shadow Teleportation
*Dark Gaia Minion TransformationCan transform into any type of creature in Dark Gaia's arsenal.
*Dark Gaia Minion ControlTelepathically commands the arsenal of Dark Gaia (much like how Aquaman commands the creatures of the sea).
*Hypnosis/Mind ControlDuring this, the Hogferatu's eye colors will change rapidly between the colors on his body (neon red and purple and blue).

==Trivia==
*ChaosControl VA is very protective of his characters (especially with all of his original characters seen here), so if you want to use any of them (in art, animations, etc.), he wants you to ask him for permission to do so first. He also does not want any attributes of these characters being changed (their races, sexualities, etc.) beyond his original storytelling intentions to suit your own needs (in art, animations, etc.); this will continue to remain the case, unless ChaosControl VA gives permission on some of your proposed changes first (approved changes that ChaosControl VA describes as essentially being fan fiction for you alone).
*The Dark Gaia Scale Sword's (real-life) creator, ChaosControl VA, had created a system to better categorize and designate different Sonic OC Universes, considering he's had Spectrum interacting with OCs outside of his Sonic AU, and considering he didn't want to mess up the canon or anyone else's AUs with his own. The Dark Gaia Scale Sword's home universe is designated "Earth F1718-1."
*Spectrum's Hogferatu form and how it works was based on Dracula Untold.https://youtu.be/yBOAP37bldQ 
*ChaosControl VA wanted his Hogferatu form to inspire other Sonic fans into giving their Sonic OCs more specialized and creative Dark Gaia forms instead of just simply giving them a Werehog form, considering the latter actions to be "lazy."https://www.deviantart.com/thehalfbloodwitch/status-update/Decided-Anastasia-doesn-t-have-a-979710736
**ChaosControl VA is considering allowing other people to use the Hogferatu Dark Gaia form for their OCs (as long as they ask for permission first, of course).
