Is this comic about racism, 'cause it sure seems like it.
Andrew Flores
Its about how Borzoi are probably wolf skinwalkers
Lucas Cox
I like the classic folklore of leaving food and drink for the strange fae: a pipe, a drink, some milk, some bread.
Hang something on the door to avoid the ones that walk in the dark: iron, mistletoe, lamb fur.
And from south american folklore, the whistle one (Pumbero), if you call him you will know how close is he: a whistle sound near you means he's far away... but a distant sound means he's right beside you.

>Strange flying creatures that have four wings.
>Seem to be completely invincible.
>Always have hardened skin that most tooth and claw can't pierce.
>Supreme hunters, however they avoid cloudy days.
Imagine if humanity's devices were the fae or boogeyman creatures.
Lincoln Campbell
I was figuring a mix of that and spookier equivalents of their predators. Like in the comic I posted, Borzoi are a type of dog specifically bred to hunt wolves. Think of that for a moment. Imagine aliens abducting humans, selectively breeding them for certain traits for hundreds of years, and then using them to hunt us down.

The Jekk, a horrible night stalker that comes to the rooms of children and steals their tails. It is said that any child who awakens when the Jekk is in their room is put in his magic net and spirited away to his underworld realm.

In the setting I run, a trickster god went around pranking the other 6 eldest gods but was stopped before he could prank the god of beasts. However, the trickster swore he would catch the beast god in the greatest of all his jests one day, and so to avoid that fate all beasts are constantly on the lookout for deception, which is the reason they only trust their own kin. Only the most ancient beasts who have known eachother since the dawn of creation trust eachother and work together towards common goals.

Feline cryptids
>Trap maw: a large, dark cavern that seems warm and inviting but is sticky and eats you up once you step inside! (it's actually a paperbag that was filled with discarded tape)
>The Kitnapper: A huge, shaggy beast that will steal away kittens in it's slimy maw to raise in it's terrible army or perhaps as food. (Actually a sheepdog that thinks the kittens belong to a family on it's own farm)
>The Savage: It looks like us but it's much larger, more fierce, and too dumb to speak. But it is ferocious and terrible and does not think of one as fellow feline. (Actually a mountain lion)
>The Sneaker: It appears from nowhere, dropping down from higher than cat, lunging out from smaller than small crevices, and even in one's own shadow to harass and even rape! (It's actually another cat, basically feline Jack The Ripper meets spring-heeled Jack)

Just go watch Predator or Predator 2. Human hunters are like that to animals. They're nearly invisible, can talk to you in a strange often sexual voice (hunting whistles made to attract deer are often modeled after mating calls), have weapons far greater than anything you can possess, and are very, very ugly.
Ian Green
>now imagining Arnie Deer getting into a fist fight with Predator human
Blake Davis
Did you even read? For once, someone is more of a faggot than OP.
Daniel Mitchell
Only if the Predator human is also Arnie
Michael Green
>instead of a fist fight the two just get into a Mr. Universe competition
Ethan Davis
The man in blue. Every day he tries to sneak up on everything you care about, undoubtedly to take it all away. Only through your valiant efforts is your family kept safe from the Man in Blue.
Joseph Cooper
Read what?
Chase Anderson
Like this dude said it's about Borzoi
They were bred by the Russians to hunt wolves so naturally wolves would be terrified of them especially considering the similarities
Owen Davis
Every hatchling learn at a young age to be wary of Gobblers, which often like to disquise themselves as sunbathing stones.
The trick is if it's unnaturaly warm, it's peobably a Gobbler trying to eat you.
Carson Gutierrez
In the Warriors books, cars and other automobiles were called monsters that swallowed the "Twolegs" to carry them across the "thunderpath"
Evan Reed

This seems like a pretty slick setting.
Ethan Hughes
>I only read half the OP
Samuel Harris
The OP. It's specifically monsters from an animal's point of view.

t-this isn't s-spooky.

There's this store about a bunch of rabbits, and they nearly get run down by a train, and end up wodering whether it meant to hurt them or if the were just in its way.
