They tend to replicate and infect, like a virus. Infect places, minds, words, concepts...Kandra are shapeshifters who can take a form of a human or animal by consuming their flesh and building own body on the prey's skeleton. The twist is they abhor killing and never do it by themselves - people hire them as spies and give them bodies to use.Steel inquisitors are people transformed into powerful warrior-mages by driving metal spikes (empowered by killing other people with them) through their bodies. Including two spikes that go through the eyes.Raksha are beings of myth and story. Narrative entities that, when they enter Creation, build bodies and minds to inhabit like RPG players build their characters. They eat dreams and virtues, and really love how humans taste.Hosts are swarm-like spirits (typically spiders or rats) that kill people and inhabit their bodies, changing them into human-animal hybrid monstrosities.Horrors are powerful magical creatures that ruled the world during the magical apocalypse and even after it ended are able to mark name-givers to act through them.Illithids are quite well-known, I think. And probably the least unsettling creatures on the list, even with their brain consumption and parasitic lifecycle.</blockquote>
