Without going into too many private details, we received a message through the site contact form regarding Tamamo. We can't vouch for legitimacy and don't know a lot of details, but she was admitted to surgery and, on the 17th of January, passed away.
She was 29.
I sincerely hope this is not true. We all loved Tamamo and would miss her terribly if she were really gone. Gone from the site is one thing, she could always come back. Gone from the world...you don't come back from that.
Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.
