Hogferatu Spectrum (Dark Gaia Vessel)

, otherwise known as the , is a transformation that appears in ChaosControl VA's Sonic AU. A modest, vampire-like version of Spectrum the Hedgehog, this physical transformation was created when Spectrum made a deal with the (separated) Mind of Dark Gaia in order to reawaken from an unconscious state and save his friends,https://sonicfanon.fandom.com/wiki/Hogferatu_Spectrum_(Dark_Gaia_Vessel)/History_and_app.#The_Lights_of_the_Hogferatu_Arc although this transformation itself could only be triggered at nighttime and would remain active until daytime. After using it on a few occasions, Spectrum lost this form permanently when he finally fought back against Dark Gaia's control.
In this form, Spectrum's speed was greatly enhanced, with the addition of other abilities such as enhanced strength, enhanced senses, and a control over the armies of Dark Gaia. He would also gain a more feral and creepy behavior as a Hogferatu, which included a tendency to roar and growl, occasional quadrupedal movement patterns (usually when chasing after something), a shorter temper, and a mindset completely fixated on growing his power by sucking the life force out of the innocents and on serving Dark Gaia.
==Appearance==
When Spectrum was a vessel for Dark Gaia and would transform into Hogferatu Spectrum at night,https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_the_Werehog Spectrum's proportions would remain unchanged for the most part, and he would still wear the same attire he normally wears.https://sonicfanon.fandom.com/wiki/Spectrum_The_Hedgehog_(ChaosControl_VA)#Appearance His body, however, would be covered in glowing multi-colored circle-like markings (most of these colors are neon reds and purples and blues).https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Dark_Gaia%27s_Minions#Anatomy His eyes would turn red, and his teeth would also grow larger fangs (perfectly suited for sucking the life force out of others).https://sonicfanon.fandom.com/wiki/Hogferatu_Spectrum_(Dark_Gaia_Vessel)#Skills_and_Abilities
The only change to his attire came in the addition of a ragged dark grey cape, with the inside being made of blue silk.
==Skills and Abilities==
Whenever Spectrum would become Hogferatu Spectrum, he would be enhanced and given new abilities to aid in traversal and combat. 
*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. The only way to become a Hogferatu is to wield a Dark Gaia Scale Sword.

==Weapons and Gadgets==
Unlike the Werehog, Spectrum's Hogferatu form was the result of a deal brokered between him and the (separated) Mind of Dark Gaia, with the seal of that mutual agreement being his Dark Gaia Scale Sword. Having been fashioned from an actual scale from the (separated) Body of Dark Gaia, it is the source of the Hogferatu's power, transforming the user into that form at night and granting them the Hogferatu's abilities at the same time.
