So I had an idea the other night... You recall me inventing alien races, etc for a bit a while back? While I intend to resume that, I figured I may as well try my hand at fantasy creatures as well.

MEET THE SKIZZIL..

Cute, cuddly, adorable little semi-bipedal ball of fluff that stands roughly a foot tall..
They invariably have their head and body posture in as harmless a gesture as possible, and for the most part are physically quite harmless despite their occasionally visible pointy little teeth... Their squishy paws aren't even equipped with claws..

Unfortunately for you, if you see one, you're probably screwed.... :x

They are evil, heartless little things (literally... they don't have blood neither...), and are several times smarter and more crafty than the average human, using their appearance to their advantage, in addition to a form of telepathic influence to dissuade even a hint of mistrust between them and their victim... And they love to play tricks months in advance before a direct encounter..

Hear a bump in the night? Think you see something out of corner of your eye but when you look nothing is there? Pet's alerting to nothing or intently staring at an object for no discernible reason? Perhaps a child suddenly has an "imaginary friend"?.... All possible signs that a Skizzil has taken interest in you...

Once they've had their fun and you end up seeing them, they'll gradually work their way closer, then in a blur of movement latch onto your neck... Paralyzing you as they literally suck the life force from your body with those tiny... razor sharp, little teeth... rows.. upon rows.. of tiny.. little.. teeth..

If you're lucky someone will come around a corner in time to help you, but chances are the Skizzle made absolutely certain they wouldn't be disturbed during their dinner.
