Cthoab

A giant grub sitting on a man's shoulder as he kneels over another person, the man eating the other person

We could blame it. That only way to ever sleep again, to go on, to do anything. Otherwise, what? Knot bedsheets and hope the ceiling fan holds? No. It was that thing, bug, grub, worm whatever it was. That did it. That’s what made us do those…things. 

Truth is, it just sat there. Fat off everything we did. It ate what we fed it. It didn’t make us do anything. It just freed us of our inhibitions. Everything we did…we because we already had it in us.

Alternative names: Carrion Grubs

Giggling Man (Unique Entity)

A short, round man, shoulders bunched up around his ears. Sparse hair on his head. Eyes bulging from their sockets and a wide, lipless grin on his face. Naked except for a leather apron. Instead of fingers on his hands, he has thin tentacles with suckers on the tips.

Tee-hee. Tee-hee. Tee-hee. Tee-hee. Tee-hee. Tee-hee. Tee-hee. Tee-hee. Tee-hee. Tee-hee. Tee-hee.

 Lightning Vampires

A long, segmented vermiform. The body is fat and round and the tail narrow, with a short fin on both the top and bottom running the length of the tail. There's nothing to distinguish the "head" of the creature, except for a hole at the front of it's body. On the underside of the body, just beneath the hole are dozens of tentacles, electricity arcing between them.

From the storm clouds above us, tentacles unfurled, reaching toward us. They would have been invisible against the blackened sky if not for the myriad brilliant colors dancing along them each time electricity arced between their tips. One-by-one the tentacles plucked people from the ground, their faces in frozen in pain screamed.
