They do not break into houses or target people in groups, and look mostly human other than a few small signs. Water and electricity in houses still work and deliveries still run. As a result, there is very little rationing. Two of the only threats are Visitors, that can be hard to spot, and the sun, which is easier to avoid. Going outside is mostly forbidden.
