Flesh Eaters
Description: Flesh Eaters look like a leech with alligator legs and razor sharp teeth and claws. They stand 3 to 4 feet tall and are 5 to 6 feet long. They have smooth green scales and yellow eyes and walk on four legs
Abillates: Flesh Eaters are very fast and can outrun most animals that live in the bayous and swamps. Flesh Eaters like to hide and wait for their pray to get close to them and then jumps out at them when a Flesh Eater jumps it very rarely miss it’s mark Flesh Eater like to hide in bushes, tree, and in the water. Flesh Eater have poor eyesight but make up for this with their great sense of smell. They can smell their prey from miles away.
Flesh Eaters hunt alone, and because of this they have a difficult time hunting groups of prey, but have learned to attack the neck of their prey to prevent them from screaming, they only do this if they know that there is more that one prey, if they think that the prey is alone, then they will attack by jumping on the back and tearing the prey apart until it dies. Once the prey is dead Flesh Eaters will then drag it back to their nest. If the prey see a Flesh Eater it will chase them until it gets them.
How to escape a Flesh Eater: If you find yourself in a place Flesh Eaters live the best thing to do is get out of there. If you are in a group keep close as Flesh Eaters will not attack a group. If you think you see a Flesh Eater don’t acknowledge it if you do it will chase after you. The best way to avoid getting killed by a Flesh Eater is to not enter it’s domain.
Sightings: The first sighting of a Flesh Eater was in 1724 when two pioneers went into a bayou and saw a monster tearing apart a cow. They ran back to the others and told them what they saw, a group of them went to the place that the monster was seen but all that was there was a pool of blood they name the area The Bloody Bayou, it also started a foals tale saying “Don’t go out at night, or the Flesh Eaters will get you.” There have been few sightings sense but there have been many missing ponies in areas that Flesh Eaters are said to live.
