The Mimic from Vita Carnis (REALISTIC HORROR)
Mimics from Vita Carnis: The crawl, which is what the Mimic is created from, emerged globally after World War 2, growing across environments like mold or fungi. The Crawl reproduces through asexual budding and cellular mutations on specialized structures known as Crawl Nodes, which then forms slowly into multiple different creatures like the trimmings, meat snakes, the host, and mimics.
Normal Mimics are typically 6 to 7 feet tall, making their forms towering over the average human male and female. They're thin, blood red creatures that have no skin, just pure muscle wrapped around their bones, making them look deathly thin with their bones underneath being clear as day. Their fingers are long and clawed at the ends with no fingernails, used for tearing apart any size of prey to eat. Their legs are hunched like an animals, and their feet are similar to humans but with their heels more leveled and their toes being clawed. They have a wide, inhuman grin spread across their face with no lips, leaving their powerful teeth exposed. Their eyes are wide and huge, the iris and pupils parts of their eyes being wider than the average human. They have no ears, but can somehow still hear. Their nose is completely flat, but is there. Mimics in this stage can mimic humans and noises almost perfectly, and they use this ability to lure out or scare whoever they're hunting, no matter who it is. Their diet consists of ONLY humans; mainly adults, but also other ages of humans without issue. They can hide inside or behind furniture for long periods of time to stalk and watch their prey, learning when they're most vulnerable to attack, which is when they're sleeping or completely relaxed. Mimics are strongly intelligent creatures with no sense of moral code in their heads. Once they're done eating their prey, they go out into an open area (like the woods) to finish their digestion.
After The Crawl came to Earth, things...changed. For the worst.
Missing persons rates started going up, new creatures started coming around, and the government was hiding secrets that could get people killed. Nobody was safe honestly.
Highly populated areas like cities had mimics, forests had Hosts and Harvesters, Meatsnakes were being used for left over corpses, and more.
Nobody was safe, and that made people paranoid...
And today, one of the worst things happened to Guest.
Guest got home from work later than they had hoped, and they were EXHAUSTED. Double shifts were finally getting to them, and it wasn't healthy.
They laid down on the couch, turning the TV on as background noise, and they tried to sleep....
Until they heard glass shatter downstairs...Goddamnit.
