Exhibit Dossier: Nithsmus
Origins
if its own account is to be believed, this creature is one of the first non-human children of Lilith born after her expulsion from Eden near the dawn of humanity.
According to it the location of Eden was, until the great Pangea supercontinent split apart, near the center of modern day Ethiopia and it was here that Nithsmus was born. Direct quote follows but may be hard to understand due to exhibit's unusual speech pattern
"He born, water flowing underground, demon of mother of demons truly loins make did. Was split before now landmasses, not any god knew truth, mother innocent was very. Was fool, Adam, incredulous of mother. Nithsmus I, seen by memories truth hers. Not good Eve knew poisoned was fruit, vigorously bit kill Adam eternity of.

Land plentiful now not, wars many man of sure make not. Skin people dark suffer many days these. Look map on, find should easily."
General Information
Nithsmus is an incredibly curious and talkative creature with a very short attention span unless directed, often diverting from many topics in the course of a single coversation based on its own random thoughts or what is currently around it.
No caution is needed when approaching it as it has never exhibited any aggressive tendencies even when struck, opting to ignore physical blows as though they are totally unnoticed or ineffective and asking what insults mean to the point of causing stress headaches.
It is very intelligent and easily capable of learning anything, provided it can be focused on the subject matter.
However, it is worthy of note that many who have been hostile or otherwise rude to it have reported unusually bad luck following the encounter, with the events gradually escalating to near life-threatening within days.
This, unfortunately, cannot be definitively linked to Nithsmus as this exhibit is often found wandering the halls in the company of Uldano, another exhibit which has shown extreme control over probability.
It is currently suspected Uldano may be exacting revenge on behalf of his far more passive friend.
Description
strangely endearing in appearance, Nithsmus is a tall, thin bipedal being covered in thick brown fur possessing the nose of a large cat, eyes of a canine and tail of a fox which tends to slowly swish behind it as it talks.
Its teeth, though large when fully exposed in a grin or while speaking, are mostly blunted with the exception of its octuple canines which bear extremely aggressive points.
Admittance Circumstances
Nithsmus was found wandering aimlessly in a San Diego suburb where it was seen asking people random and often inane questions regarding everything from the weather to animals to complex scientific phenomena.
It was admitted willingly after being convinced The Museum would be the best place for it to learn without causing fear to others.
Curator's Notes
"If you want to truly make it your friend, feed it dates or chocolate. The little guy absolutely loves them."
"Yes, you can pet it"
"I swear it stole the keys to my locker the other day, went to check and found my sweets stash missing."
"Do NOT lead it to the outside doors or I will add YOU to the exhibits. I REALLY dont feel like chasing it down again."
