The Eater is my creation, it's my dream-haunt. These are the monsters of my nightmares. (If you wanna know more check out: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/670401/ ). Think of them as a zombie demonic wolf/horse thing. =D

So this is an eater, with a size comparison to lets say, a 6 ft human male. Scary mo'fo.

Some random info on the species that I have decided on:
+ Eaters travel in herds from 20-60, with a distinct heirarchy based on strength and viciousness, like a demonic wolf-pack. Unlike wolves however, an Eater that looses a challenge is automatically killed.
+ Any injured Eater unable to defend itself is killed and eaten by other Eaters.
+ Eaters have no gender - every Eater can reproduce any time it feeds, by depositing several 'eggs' (look like fist-sized bloodclots) from an organ that holds these 'eggs' towards the back of it's throat.
+ Baby eaters only need 3-4 weeks to reach adult size, though they won't reach their full weight until they're about a year old. They cannot regurgitate eggs until they reach sufficient weight.
+ Baby eaters feed at first from the fresh kill they are deposited on; after that, the herd will bring them the remains of other kills until they can hunt for themselves.
+ Juivenile eaters are taught to hunt by the herd refusing to bring them food until they starve. They will eventually attack something in a desperate attempt to feed. If they can't hunt successfully, they will grow weak, and be eaten by the herd. Tough love in the extreme.
+ Eaters will eat any animal that moves.
+ Despite the wings, Eaters cannot fly. The wings are vestigal but good for scaring prey, something they love to do.
+ Eaters have very limited intelligence (something like a four year old) and emit eerie sounding screams that are too high pitched for human hearing to speak with each other. They are smarter in packs.
+ For all the fragile look of the Eater's limbs, they are not made of normal human bone, and will rests hundreds of pounds of pressure before breaking.
+ Eaters can go from 0 to 75 mph in about 5 seconds, though they can only stay at this speed for about 5 to 10 minutes. They can travel at about 40 to 50 mph for hours however, and can easily outdistance things. Hence they're penchant for playing with their food.
+ Wings come with age. An eater gets his wings when he reaches about 3 years of age, but they are very small at first. They reach full size after another year-ish of growing (full size depicted).
