''This guide intends to inform and educate the general public on the mysterious beings roaming among us. To some Eldritches are misunderstood creatures that belong on this world just as much as we do. To others, they are menaces that pose a threat to society and the world as we know it. No matter which side of this debate you are on, it would be in your best interest to read and memorize this guide.'' Currently, there are two forms of Eldritches known to man. These forms are::
Currently, there are three classifications for all Eldritches, these are::
''V'' Class - A class given to any Eldritch species that show violent behavior or tendencies, Eldritches of this class are to be avoided. If you come across one of these please report it to your local authorities.
''U'' Class - A class given to Eldritch species that show no inherent threat, and have otherwise unknown behaviors or tendencies. Still, If you come across one of these please report it to your local authorities.
''S'' Class - A class given to Eldritch species that have been confirmed to show no inherent threat to humans and are safe to approach and be around.
''Flesh Mothers'' || Class V || Flesh Mothers are Eldritches that take on the form of humanoid females, they are known to roam populated areas, and feed exclusively on Meat, primarily human flesh. The name ''Flesh Mothers'' comes from the fact that they tend to target families, with the children always being left unharmed. Survivors of these attacks have also reported them acting ''Motherly'' to their children, usually singing to them or comforting them if they're awake. It is unknown why they never go after children, however, many theorize that it is an attempt to sway the child into becoming some form of honorary Flesh Mother themself when they get older.
''Snakes'' || Class S || Snakes are Eldritches with the ability to stretch certain limbs and appendages, mainly the Neck and Arms. They take on many forms from fleshy mounds resembling that of a snake, to tall humanoids with extended limbs and bodies. They also live in a variety of areas, with some even fully integrating into human society.
''Oil Minks'' || Class U || Oil minks are large black slimy creatures, usually found in swamps and wetlands. They typically rest on the bottoms of lakes and rivers, only coming up for air, and possibly food. They can stay underwater for up to a year before needing to breathe again. Other than that, their dietary habits and behaviors are unknown.
''Venus Traps'' || Class V || Venus Traps are Eldritches that take on the form of humanoid males. Similar to Flesh Mothers, Venus Traps roam populated areas and are carnivores. Unlike their ''female'' counterparts, Venus Traps seemingly attack and eat anyone and anything they can get their hands on, including children, and even pets. Their name comes from their means of hunting, they will leave behind a sticky, sweet-smelling sap, to lure prey into, before splitting their faces open to reveal rows of teeth and eating their prey.
There are hundreads, maybe even thousands of undocumented species out there, so stay alert and stay safe! Travel out in groups, especially at night, and make sure you come home with the same number of people you left with.
