Dream-Devouring Siltcurrent (T-02-21-06) is a WAW-class Abnormality encountered during Canto V. It was previously contained in the L Corp. branch in U Corp. before the whole facility was swallowed by the Pallid Whale.

It can also be encountered in the Mirror Dungeon through Abnormality events, and as a potential boss. It is also fightable in Station 2 of Line 3: MirrorClock OrangeRoad.

It is related to The Dreaming Current from Lobotomy Corporation, and is the source of the E.G.O Blind Obsession.

Appearance

Dream-Devouring Siltcurrent has the appearance of a giant abyssal fish with many cracked fluorescent turquoise LED light tubes sticking out of its back. All parts of its body are either the same fluorescent turquoise or a shade of blue-greenish black. It has no eyes, and its body is dominated by a giant mouth that spans more than two-thirds of its length. It has a second mouth immediately below the first.

When in battle, it has the ability to change its environment to become underwater. It also has the ability to swim in solid surfaces. The light tubes on its back additionally allows itself and others to breathe underwater.

Story

Log Writer: Don Quixote

Allow me to describe this grand and epic beast!

‘Twas in the form of a pelagic creature, yet ‘twas also levitating where there was no water!

Hm, I am unsure if I could refer to it as its ‘back’. Howbeit, the creature’s back was riddled with lengthy, incandescent, fluorescent light rods.

Their purpose could not be told… yet are they not akin to pretty trinkets? Behold, ‘tis slowly glowing and dimming!

I wished to grow nearer to pet the creature, yet my fellows have held me back with all their might… shame!

Aha! I spy a chance! (The following records are indecipherable, as though they were soaked in water before the ink had the chance to dry)

→ I assigned her the task of recording the larger Abnormalities to prevent similar occurrences such as the one with… the chickens. Yet… unexpected incidents seem to occur regardless of the Abnormality’s size. (Faust)

→ … I would appreciate it if you could please share with us which Sinner you had chosen to write the records afore our first encounters with the Abnormalities. (Yi Sang)

→ So this is the first time I’m experiencing the sensation of drowning 12 times. Simultaneously. … Let’s… try not to make this a repeat occurrence. Please… (Dante)

We had a kerfuffle!

Soon after the kerfuffle began, it immediately flooded the area, submerging not only itself but our fine company as well!

… Ah, I am feeling a terrible bundle of guilt for what the mistake that I have committed out of mine impatience has wrought. Prithee, understand that I had to…

Yet! ‘Twas I! Who hath, earlier than anyone,

… figured out the function of those fluorescent light-sticks!

What may be the function of those light-sticks, you ask? They are none other than tools that allows us to breathe! Using that stick, I was able to breathe underwater!

Though I am yet unaware of the reason, the sticks are rather prone to breaking and shattering! ‘Tis a conundrum indeed… If this be a tool for breathing, then why is it so brittle, one must wonder!

So, I had a thought! If this sea-beast makes us unable to breathe… what if I were to share this stick among us?!

Just as I had thought! Breaking the stick to pieces and sharing them with mine comrades allowed us to breathe!

Forsooth, we may now properly focus on battling the sea-beast…!

‘Tis nothing of much import, yet I shall impart thee a few more words of advice!

Once we were allowed to breathe, there was naught too difficult about the way the sea-beast battled! The moment we are availed air is a moment of our victory, forsooth!

Yet I scribble on, in hopes of reducing the harm it may regardless deliver unto mine allies!

The sticks one may break off the sea-beast are rather sharp.

As I have written afore, its primary means of attack is to body-slam us with its rather sizeable bulk.

Now, combine these two truths together!

I, Don Quixote, hath come across a revelation!

What if we were to shatter the sticks into sharp, pointy pieces and draw the sea-beast’s attention…?

We may foil its charge by placing it between us and the sea-beast! Truly a plan capable of capturing two birds with one stone, is it not?

Outis called it… called it… barry? I believe Outis called it a barry-kate!

A strategy oft used in warfare, indeed.

Let this be a useful guide to thee, dear Manager Esquire!

Trivia

• In the trailer that was streamed by Project Moon, its name was 沈む蛍光 (Sinking Fluorescence) and its E.G.O was called 深淵航路 (Abyssal Route).
• In the E.G.O art for Blind Obsession, the Abnormality is depicted without the set of teeth on the bottom of its lower jaw.
• Prior to Mirror of the Wuthering, Dream-Devouring Siltcurrent was the only Abnormality to have multiple possible E.G.O Gifts as rewards in its Mirror Dungeon event.
• Both Dream-Devouring Siltcurrent and The Dreaming Current share a similar name, appearance, and themes of reaching for an unobtainable dream with both referencing a grassy field and the ocean specifically.
  • Dream-Devouring Siltcurrent more specifically has a theme of sinking deep into despair, but by its own volition. It blindly chases its obsession in the form of the fluorescent lights to reach fulfillment.
    • This mirrors Ishmael's journey for revenge against Ahab, and is most likely why Ishmael received its E.G.O.
