And there, they basically hounded Morpheus, which is all they claimed they would do, and basically all they did to him. (I believe they even outright said "We don't kill anyone! We exact vengeance!" or some variation. Need to check it.)
Can they kill lesser beings? Maybe.. They slaughtered the Dreaming residents. But they were never really "alive", and Dream could have chosen to revive them at any time, so not really the same thing.
yeah, you could be right about the not killing thing now that you brought it up. i'd need to check for sure but now that you said it that sounds right....but i was sure they'd bragged about destroying universes or gods or something as well...
anyway, i think we could both agree they don't belong in versus matches.
