Second to last week of these critters and our game. They’ve been floating around our world for a while. Mostly as a source of creepy noises, some sort of urban adaptive species, and something to chase away from corpses during body discovery. I have liked describing their eyes glowing creepily in the reflected lamplight out in the dark in poor neighborhoods. Maybe waiting for someone small or weak to get lost or abandoned by the others..
..In short, been in a dark mood. Blades fits that well.
If you read some Mike Mignola you will never see a frog without a shiver 🙂 Cool, that they’re part of your BitD world.
Thank you Galen Pejeau for helping me realize that I was seriously underutilizing the potential of beasts in my BitD games.
Stefan Struck In the back of the Hellboy book, “the Conqueror Worm” there’s a fun page where Mignola shows his work on developing that monster. His revelation that a caterpillar could be the scariest thing of all (voracious hunger, themes of horrible metamorphosis) has always stuck with me in horror work. Always look for innocence gone askew.
Dang. Time to go read those again.
