Name: Forest Walker
Class: Dangerous
Designation: Fauna
Description: Deceptively fragile-looking, the Forest Walker appears at first to be a handful of sticks growing from a branch, or a tangle of mossy deadwood. The only thing that might give it away is the green, glowing eyes.
Notes: Referred to in folklore as the guardians of the forest, Forest Walkers are in fact highly territorial woodland-dwellers; and will attack if they feel under threat. They are well camouflaged, which I suspect has contributed to their folkloric status. They are a predatory species, eating insects, arachnids, small mammals and, if they can catch them, birds.
I assisted Jesper and Lesley in the field to attempt to catch one for study; but all I caught was a chill. It wasn’t a wasted trip, however; Lesley confirmed that Forest Walkers do not have mouths, instead using those facial root things to suck out the innards of their prey- or take a blood sample from agents who weren’t wearing their gloves.
Jesper is sulking, because he was convinced they were venomous. Lesley hasn’t keeled over yet.

Why are all of the creepy things also oddly adorable?
