April 9, '21. 100 themes: misfortune. Things such as sex, name, age, and so on are unknown. Prague is the name they've come to be recognized by to those caught in their path. They themselves do not use it, as they have no need. Does not speak, as they have no mouth. Their 'goggles' are their eyes while the stitches on the bridge of their nose are their nostrils. The only fur they have is the tuft on their head. The rest of their body is waxy and waterproof. Has a built-in cloak that includes a hood they can wear, which they tend to only do in the rain or in heavily 'infected' areas. At the end of their long, flexible tail is a cane used for prodding at things from a safe distance. Flowers bloom from their ears, hood, and base of their tail. These put off a honeysuckle-like scent which can be smelled from a fair distance away, but doesn't get overpowering when one comes closer. It's unable to completely mask the strong smell of leather they put off at short ranges
Prague is a strange animal that often wanders, often hides away. Where they go when not trekking is unknown. Their presence is dreaded and they are generally to be attacked on sight. If they manage to enter a populated area, they will bring with them an 'invisible disease'. Said disease leaves no traces, killing suddenly and without warning. Prague will attempt to 'cure' the area, inspecting corpses as well as those they deem infected. If they seem interested in a living person, they are often declared dead, as Prague has little to no interest in uninfected individuals. Much in the fashion of plague doctors, Prague appears unable to puzzle out their cure, simply throwing things at a wall and seeing what sticks. This will often kill the 'patient', as they're unaware what is toxic to humans. They must be successfully chased from the area for the disease to slowly peter out. This is difficult, as they seem to gain power in diseased and rundown areas. A haze seems to fill the sky, fog lurks about the ground, and an unescapable feeling of dread lingers. Buildings will quickly become dilapidated, clothing will tear more easily, and things may seem to be coated in a fine layer of soot. This not only makes Prague harder to find in an area they've 'claimed', but makes it difficult for rescue parties to keep their nerve. If there is a pro to the situation, it's that Prague isn't interested in leveling a whole civilization. They'll usually take up a territory, commonly on the outskirts of an area, and stay there unless everyone present is killed by the disease. If this is the case, they'll move in deeper to locate more of the population. The haze they leave behind will not clear from the wiped area until they're removed from the civilization. If never chased off, they will eventually destroy entire towns or villages, albeit at a very slow rate. They haze will then clear after they leave themselves, which make take multiple months. During this time, they'll prowl their territory, studying bodies and searching for survivors. For a while, they seem to be almost fond of the deceased area, lurking and lazing around as they might not when the disease is active. After some time though, they'll always leave. They have a disease to cure, after all
