| draconosis - |
Uncontrolled, sometimes uncontrollable, acquisitiveness. The "dragon sickness," as Tolkien called it: an overwhelming need to amass wealth simply to have it. In severe cases (megalodraconosis), the sufferer prefers wealth over any other thing, person, or activity, often reluctant or refusing to spend or lend any of it, even at great need; thinking of little else, a droconotic will fly into unbridled rage over the loss of anything in his or her possession, no matter how trifling. (Sometimes called "Rosebud" or "Kane's Disease" after Orson Welles' pathologically acquisitive Charles Foster "Citizen" Kane.)
(From the Greek drakon "dragon" + -osis "pathological condition.")
