SNACK ATTACK - TIMELINE #98425539
Added 2022-06-14 17:13:25 +0000 UTC(Timeline Tuesday #46)
Snack attacks are small, insect-like scavengers who live in cupboards, pantries or refrigerators. They are incredibly resilient creatures, able to withstand extreme temperature shifts. This species appears as a small, two or three inch diameter wheel of cheese, featuring a similar yellowish coloration. Within this wheel is a missing triangular slice, from which the snack attack can extend or retract a row of sharp, tiny teeth. Snack attacks also feature six legs that curl under their body to help them fit in.
As scavengers, snack attacks make their dens in places with plentiful food to steal over long periods of time without getting caught. Most of the time, when snack attacks hear humans approaching they will scamper to a corner and stay perfectly still, disguising themselves as a wheel of cheese. However, this species has one ability that offers a vastly different way of dealing with humans.
If a snack attack’s food supply is running low, it will patiently wait until a human is close, then bite the target with its rows of sharp teeth. The jaws of the snack attack secrete a powerful toxin that will immediately sedate their victim, prompting them to swiftly fall asleep.
When those who’ve suffered the bite of a snack attack wake up they will have forgotten their encounter. They will also find themselves overwhelmingly hungry, and in most cases they will immediately set about replenishing their pantry or fridge, which provides more sustenance for the snack attack in turn.
