Eternal Hunger

"It's a condition I can happily live with when the treatment is delicious!" TwinBragia on the subject of her eternal hunger.
Eternal Hunger is a unique genetic condition known only to blight heavily "designed" DragonKin hybrids, be they DragonKin/DragonKin or DragonKin/Non-DragonKin hybrids.
==Overview==
Common theory is that these urges to cannibalise come from a latent but primitive DragonKin trait to devour their prey, being corrupted by the nature of being a hybrid.
Eternal Hunger gives the bearer a hunger for their own species, although any DragonKin meat will sate it, which can never be truly sated for any significant period of time. Not satisfying this Hunger for a short period of time, roughly 2 weeks, will result in the bearer going into a crazed state until they sate their Eternal Hunger. While in this crazed state, the bearer of the Eternal Hunger will devour anyone in their way, even their own family, such is their desperation to sate their Eternal Hunger. Entering this crazed state is usually a first and last kind of thing, with the afflicted waking up to find a bloody mess of their victim and suffering mental trauma over their lack of control.
Unlike the need for DragonKin meat caused by Heavyscale that will result in death if not sated, the Eternal Hunger isn't a strict need, but reduces the afflicted to an instinctive animalistic state where they will attack and eat anything that moves until the Eternal Hunger is sated.
==Treatment==
Eternal Hunger cannot be treated as it is a side-effect of being a "perfect" hybrid. The effects can be weakened by devouring similar genetics to those which created the hybrid, this would always include devouring other DragonKin, although in the case of DragonKin/Non-DragonKin hybrids the Eternal Hunger can be sated by consuming the the non-DragonKin species they are a hybrid of as well as DragonKin.
