Haunters are small fae creatures that take advantage of Esprits by posing as Esprit fawnlings. They are omnivorous, but are more inclined towards meat.
These creatures are very intelligent and manipulative. They do not harbor spirits but are capable of feeding off spiritual energy and using it to empower themselves. Should a Haunter eat an Esprit that is possessed, they will gain the ability to speak and seek out other spirits to consume. Haunters have two sets of ears and usually have no extra sets of eyes. They have four arms and their sexual organs are not visible. Their mouths contain two rows of sharp teeth on each jaw. Their eyes are normally black with variation being rarer. Haunters cannot see very well in daylight--being slightly nocturnal--and use sound or touch to make most of their way around at that time. They are aggressive towards people, knowing that humans--especially children--tend to flock towards Esprits due to their gentle natures, and they will take a bite out of hands and fingers. Their feeding habits are vampiric. They do not eat their prey all at once, but bleed and chomp out parts until the prey is weakened and then they will finish their dying meal off as they choose to feast on what's living. |
