AHH, THIS BEAST! IT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST BEINGS THAT I HAD RESEARCHED! IN FACT, IF YOU LOOK AROUND ON THE PSIMAGE BOARDS, YOU CAN PROBABLY FIND ME TALKING ABOUT IT… BUT DON'T TELL ANYONE!
…EH? I CAN HEAR SOME KID CRYING IN THE HALLWAY? WELL, TIME TO GO– IT WOULD BE A SHAME TO LEAVE A CHILD IN DANGER!
This monster looks like a cloaked, childish humanoid, with large eyes peering out of a wrinkled face.
…at least, until that face unfurls into three hairy lobes, filled with teeth and claws.
Small pores on the surface of the Tlelitred's “cloak” produce a perception-distorting gas similar to that of the Loid, though the monsters appear to have been made at different times. Similarity, it is designed to look harmless, resembling a juvenile retrohuman in proportions.
However, where the Loid and most related monsters are designed for undercover research, the Tlelitred seems to have been made for a more grim purpose. Its “face” is actually formed from three boneless limbs, which can tightly fold into themselves. These limbs have a flexible outer covering, allowing them to not be harmed by their own teeth when retracted.
Similarly to the Loid, Tlelitred reproduce by shedding a stemcell-filled outer layer of skin.
Despite its features being more suited for combat than other human-mimicking monsters, the Tlelitred has a similar propensity for trickery. As a species, they generally show a smug satisfaction in targeting those that aren't able to see through the disguise, especially if the others were the initial aggressors.
Compared to its “adult” predecessors, Tillitred tend to be more disobedient, reveling in childlike mischief and particularness even outside of their disguise …to the point where there have been sustained debates on whether the physical harm of its jaw-claws is actually worse than having to find yet another brand of monsterfeed for it to not reject. However, they seem to naturally get along with their fellow retromimics, who seem to think that their appearance is especially adorable.

{{So, as the introductory text implies, this is actually the first monster I statted out… though obviously there’s been some changes as I’ve learned the formatting better.}}
