Aberrant Creeper



Aberrant Creepers are the result of DNA morphing from an old project of Tantibus'. They were created in order to make "footsoldiers" for a mentioned, but unplanned, war between people.

Behavior
Aberrant Creepers are like the manifestations of borderline personalities. They see everything in black and white - either someone is on the good side or the bad side. If they are on the good side, the Aberrant Creeper will respect them enough to not attack. If they are on the bad side, the Aberrant Creeper will lash out if they get too close or scare them. Though, they do have a "grey area" - people who they don't know very well are in the gray area and the Aberrant Creeper will usually just ignore those kinds of people.

It takes a long time to build up trust with an Aberrant Creeper, yet is still possible - and any sort of lie, gimmick, or joke-gone-bad can trigger their instincts of distrust very quickly and years worth of work with the Aberrant Creeper will be wasted.

History
Tantibus was originally planning an invasion on mankind - so he set up a genetic lab and took the DNA from a regular creeper, a Vytl, and a Dynonn and put all three in a Creeper embryo. The egg containing the embryo hatched into an Aberrant Creeper.

Tantibus was delighted to have created a new creature - until he discovered that it wouldn't attack everything it saw. With 5,000 useless creatures of war (he cloned the first one 4,999 times), Tantibus discarded them and released them into the same plane of reality as Silents. The Silents ignored the Aberrant Creepers, in which they scattered across the Silent's world, some never to be seen again.

Occasionally there is a straggler Aberrant Creeper roaming the streets of big cities or the outskirts of Oblivion Town. These are, for the most part, of no threat unless threatened, so it is best to leave them alone if you run into one.
