Hey Critical Crew!
Our latest #WIPWednesday update showcases next month's Alley Crawler creature. Check out the excerpt below, and let us know what you think!
Distant relatives to changelings and doppleganger’s alley crawlers are cunning urban hunters that lurk within darkened streets frequently disguising themselves as beggars and drawing in potential prey. In many cities, offering beggars coin or food is outlawed for the protection of the people. One may never know when a wounded man begging in an alley is secretly a monster waiting to pounce.
What is more terrifying is the alley crawler’s ability to take on the form and memories of creatures it has eaten, allowing it to trick the friends and family of a former victim that it is the creature it slew. Alley crawlers have been known to creep along streets to lurk outside the homes of their victim’s families, taking on their forms and begging for help, calling from a dark alley and devouring entire families, one helpful fool at a time.
Stay tuned for more!
