Horrors Manifested (Patreon)

Been cookin' up new monster ideas in my head for a while now and indulged the urge to draw them out last night on stream \o/. There's a third to this, a bread and butter slasher, but as I can't spoiler tag images for a content warning you'll have to catch them separately in the attachments.

Fun fact: All of these horrors exists within the Wolfscot universe, separate from The Coil.

Gnawly. A mimic pretending to be a shark statue along beaches and shores. If it can catch someone unawares or alone it will strike, fully encasing them like a venus flytrap and slowly assimilating them unto itself. Gnawly cannot speak normally, but they have a Walkman/Talkboy loaded with 90's jams and douchey beach dude phrases to sorta respond. Be wary, if you think he's cute then you're already too far gone. A flash of teeth and a missing persons report, soon you won't even realize you don't exist anymore.

Gnawly fact #1- While being assimilated, your nervous system is assaulted with synesthesia. Your brain's attempt to make sense of the merging of beings. It's a fairly pleasant if confusing experience, and technically you don't even cease!

Wallstalker "Wally". A monster stalking within the 2D. They lurk through city sprawls, hiding within graffiti steeped in deceptive charm and manipulative facades. They're as patient as they please, and enjoy toying with prey before the fatal strike. He's a real bastard like that. Unlike other fiends, Wally does this just for the fun of it. There's an intelligence behind the simple appearance, something that delights in the despair of knowing there's nowhere to go.  You cannot fix him, but he could make you worse.

Wally fact #1- Should he not feel like claiming his prey immediately, Wally can seal them within his dimension, immobile but aware as "paint" on the wall, so that he may return eventually to finish the job.

Wally fact #2- He's completely mute but can communicate through graphic lettering, speech bubbles and imagery.

Ike the Shrike. CW:[[GORE]] If you know, you know. A liminal monster, 'Ike' as the mascot is no more the killer than the poor mind warped within. They're a hockey mascot costume possessed by dark powers that corrupt anyone who wears it into the Shrike. A sadistic slasher whose motives and means are a mystery to all.

Shrike fact #1- It won't die.
