These semi-magical creatures are voracious emotivores that draw out and consume pettiness, cruelty, the will to maintain grudges, and other emotions considered "mean." They're drawn to people and only exist in locations where there's a population large enough to be "mean" on a scale sufficient to sustain them. One or two are common in small cities while a metropolis may support over a dozen. In those numbers Mean Suckers are a natural and beneficial part of a city's ecosystem, but more than that is cause for alarm.
Populations affected by a Mean Sucker infestation are blank and listless, exhausted by the over-consumption of their emotions. Governments consider the apathy and lack of desire to upset the status quo extremely convenient and regularly import Mean Suckers from elsewhere in attempts to create artificial infestations and bolster their power.
Fortunately Mean Suckers are delicate and easily dispatched, as long as you can muster the energy to swing something heavy at them. It's a shame they're so cute.
Note: Mean Sucker blood is only a powerful euphoric after proper processing. Don't consume it raw.
