Psicrystals are more than mere animate rocks. They are a powerful psionic construct, fueled by a liberated aspect of its owener's mind. When the body of the psicrystal is destroyed, most times, the mental aspect simply fades away, bereft of master or psychic sustenance. Some, however, manage to find a way to the Plane of Dreams. Their, they find the most potent energy of all--the dreams of their masters. They weave these dreams about themselves in, of course, a crystalline structure, reincarnating themselves as a Dreamcrystal Visage. Made vastly more powerful than they were as psicrystals, the visages look like slightly blurred, crystalline effigies of their masters, and draw power from the aspect of their master's mind they were born from.

In addition, all Dreamcystal Visages have an additional psi-like ability, usable once per day unless noted, which corresponds to their personality aspect.

So its a large scary animate Psicrystal with powers?

Yeah, pretty much. Also very much a team player, on account of their psionic auras.

So a mob of them...or a hive...Hm.

Could they (would they) coexist with a Dromite hive?

If it was born from the psicrystal of a dromite psion, that could be quite probable.
