Nothing about what was happening was normal. It was not normal to come out of one’s isolated cottage in the middle of the wilderness and see some giant blue creature off in the distance. It was even harder to tell exactly how far off the damned thing was because of the sheer size of it. He had never seen anything taller than the trees before, and it worried him - not frightened - worried.
“The world is going to hell, and now we have a giant on the loose.” It was hard to believe that seeing a blue skinned giant humanoid creature didn’t frighten him more. “Knew I should have stayed inside today.“ He shook his head, and turned back to his front door, believing that if he ignored the creature, it would ignore him. Hopefully.
❝ Anybody else see that weird rock formation pop up that looked like quite phallic? Anything new popping up seems a little troubling, given what’s already showing up. ❞
❝ What the fuck is that? ❞ Sunni hissed. She’d been watching with morbid curiosity as the shadow seemed to fall from the moon and merge with a strange green mist on the water, but what she hadn’t expected was the giant form that seemed to step from the combined irregularities. ❝ What in the ever-loving fuck is that and where did it come from? ❞ Her voice was soft as she backed up into the edge of the trees she’d been venturing through, exploring the land but she did not want to go into any terrain that that thing might be trying to claim. Sunni didn’t even know if she had enough bullets to give the thing an itch. ❝ Time to go! ❞ she whispered sharply, followed by a rapid string of Spanish expletives and bolting back through the trees.
With the veils thinning, greater horrors have begun to emerge, spreading to the other worlds. Below the cut is the first wave, and how each has appeared or is threatening different areas. Any posts regarding the horrors, please tag as #deadbiteevent, and enjoy the possibilities that come from these creatures taking over. All is fair in the apocalypse. Stay safe, and pray that your soulmate isn’t gobbled up or taken before you get to them. Remember, these are merely the first to make their way through from their worlds. More will surely follow.
Hound of Tindalos
Although their exact appearance is somewhat vague, cosmic time-traveler Titus Crow described them as looking like bat-like rags, whilst other sources claim them to have long proboscises to drain their prey's bodily fluids, and that they constantly ooze a disgusting blue ichor. Despite being named the Hounds of Tindalos, this moniker refers more to the creatures' behavior than any resemblance to an actual canid.
Originating in the Earth's distant past when other life had yet to develop past the single-called organism level, Hounds are hunters who crave an indescribable something in humankind, and once they pick up the scent of a man (usually the trail of a time-traveler) the beasts will follow their victims across time and space in order to feed. To this end, Hounds are capable of materializing through acute corners; this is due to the fact that while most common life inhabits the curves of time, Hounds inhabit the angles.
B'gnu-Thun
B'gnu-Thun, also known as The Soul-Chilling Ice-God, is a Great Old One
Almost nothing is known about B'gnu-Thun, although it has been reported to appear as a gigantic humanoid monstrosity with blue-tinged skin. Wherever it passes, a fierce, otherworldly blizzard follows in its wake, earning B'gnu-Thun its epithet.
Bokrug
A strange darkness begins to descend from the moon as an ominous green fog rises from the lake. From that meeting point emerges the Bokrug, with a penchant for killing or turning those that displease him into his followers, humanoid fish-like creatures that resemble him. It’s best to stay far from his sight.
Gloon
Statues of Dionysus have begun to appear. Whether it’s the work of the God in question or of some admirer, they have come to be. The truth of such a thing is far more sinister for the statues in question are actually avatars for Gloon.
Gloon's true appearance is that of a leathery, bloated slug whose skin hangs off its body in great flaps. Although imprisoned long ago by powerful sorcery on the lost continent of Atlantis, Gloon is occasionally able to manifest its true form through its avatars, and even those who merely touch the diminutive statues will experience strange dreams of cyclopean ruins beneath the sea. Those affected by such dreams feel an overwhelming compulsion to locate the ruins, to the extent that they will drown themselves whilst searching for them.
Gobogeg
Whilst little is known of dread Gobogeg, what has been gleaned is that it manifests as an enormous column of shifting, pulsating eldritch flesh, sporting a single baleful eye at the tip of its tentacle-like body. When it appears, it causes great earthquakes to ravage the surrounding lands, and is said to be able to cause entire worlds to implode through his simple presence.
