Stragglers

= Stragglers =

Danger Class: 2
Stragglers are a race of humanoid entities that at first glance just appear to be pale, thin, and hairless humans. However, upon closer inspection these creatures lack any facial features aside from a mouth which is full of sharp teeth on the top of their head. These teeth are an inch long and covered in a liquid assumed to be blood, this hasn't been confirmed however.

Stragglers are commonly found in groups of 3-4 at a time but usually are solitary hunters. Due to this unusual hunting method groups of Stragglers often gain or lose members. When a Straggler finds prey it wants to hunt it'll crawl out of sight of the victim and once it gets close it'll quickly snatch the prey in their mouth and devour it in one bite. However Stragglers are also known to attack humans or other similar organisms. When this prey is spotted they'll take a similar approach but when they get close enough they'll tear the prey limb from limb and devour them in bite sized pieces.

Stragglers have no known reproductive, sleep, or birthing cycle. No nests or permanent settlements have been found, leading to the discovery of the fact that Stragglers are wandering creatures.

Addendum 1-S:
Stragglers were first discovered after a man who reported having hallucinations of thin men ended up dead in his home, with only his torso remaining. After an investigation the basement was found to be a temporary nest that housed 3 Stragglers. They were incinerated by the SWAT team before research could be conducted.

Addendum 2-S:
Any Straggler in captivity has been shown to cease all movement until either released or it dies.

Addendum 2.1-S:
Testing on Stragglers that have died in captivity shows they have a composition that is very similar to humans, alongside an unidentified particle which is currently undergoing study.
