Modern Fantasy Monsters

Lets come up with some modern day fantasy monsters Veeky Forums. Things that might flourish in the mouldering brickwork, forgotten spaces and undeseriable areas of the urban world.

>Needle Wights
>A perculiar form of undead made from those who die from drug overdoses, Needle Wights are animated by their own unwavering all consuming addiction to whatever lead to their demise. They are of low intelligence and strength, but move slowly and quietly, often springing on their victims by suprise. Their victims tend to be anyone who has the particular drug that killed them, but when they have gone without the drug a long time they will attack anyone on the off chance they might have some.
>The typical needle wight appears as a thoroughly emaciated human, their skin having dried out and become brittle and white over time. How the drugs they take still affect these dried out corpses is unknown.

JIDF should be an obvious one.

Wonder who is eating your socks when you wash them? A Sock Eater, of course.
Be wary, though, of switching to washing your socks by hand. The Sock Eater will go mad from hunger, and if it had a particularly nourishing and steady diet before, it might have grown very strong.

Catfish-people that try to lure in people to their lairs to devour them by posing as attractive people online, or conducting online scams of various sorts.

...They are kind of terrible at their art, but are terribly persistent.

>Office Revenant
>You know that guy who works in an office, he just makes you a little bit uncomfortable and he doesn't seem to work in the same department as anybody you know? Delving further may reveal he was a workaholic who died, but didn't let that interrupt his busy schedule. He works, after a fashion, showing up on time and leaving on time but never quite realizing he's dead for he's far, far too busy.

are they literally catfish people? like, they wear human skins from their victims and stuff? I can't decide if that is hilarious or horrifying.

Orcs. Living in ghettos as parts of gang(clans) and being poor, but their innate strength makes them desirable as linemen in football.
And they might get affirmative actioned onto the police

> Road zombies
The victims of road accidents raised as undead by the magic still leaking from the tomb of a necromancer which was paved over to make the road.
Broken, twisted, and charred bodies shambling along the roadside, some still dressed in the high-vis clothing they wore when fixing the roads they died on. More dangerous than regular undead due to improvised weaponry in the form of car parts, or simply the jagged ends of their broken and severed limbs.

> Vehicle, animated
A particularly lazy mage has animated this vehicle to get him from A to B. It has some degree of autonomy, but retains it past the death of it's owner. Now it roams the streets as an unlicensed taxi, picking up passengers and depositing them at places the mage used to frequent, or at his former home.
Traffic laws have changed since it was animated, and so have safety laws. Beware it's bull-bars of death!

> Fatberg Ooze
A mound of solidified fat embedded with things that should never have been flushed but were anyway, surrounding a core of slowly-rotting meat. Slain victims are digested down to their bones, with their fat added to the mass of the ooze.

> Currency miners
They took the term 'mining' far too seriously, and attack people with mining equipment to steal their money.
At high levels, mining machinery is in use.

>Vehicle, animated
that's a really good one

esoterrorists is full of these. golems spawned from snuff films, sexual parasites that manifest in repressed individuals
