Vampires are dull and werewolves apparently are too. Mages, witches and ghosts. Zombies are boring us and it seems it's hard to come up with something new in the Urban Fantasy realm.
So let's see what we can come up with, folks. We've got to strain our brains to the max and think up something neato and weird. Let me start with two...come up with as many as you want, and lay them out vaugely like this.
Name: Rythe.
Nickname: Sheets
Description: Sort of like a cross between a jellyfish and a bag of leaves, a Rythe floats through the air in the same way a jellyfish does, with lots of tendrils that flair out behind it. The bag of leaves comes in due to it's lumpy body, which glows from within. Rythe's are capable of speech, though it is normally slow and dull, plodding even. Rythe's are not the best conversationalists. And they don't think very fast, either. This, coupled with the fact that they suck the life energy out of people just through physical contact, makes it hard for them to hold down a desk job. Most Rythe can be found floating through sewers, tool box in hand, fixing broken tubing. A few rouge Rythe plague abandoned houses, feeding illegally off the life energy of hobos.
How to kill it: Really, it involves a lot of shooting at it's vaguely defined center. Eventually, one of the bullet'll hit the brain and it'll explode.
Name: Mindrender
Nickname: Slivers
Description: Mindrender's stand at about six feet, normally, and have a width of about half a foot. Incredibly thin, Slivers have elongated heads (like the Alien from Alien) and mouths that open vertically. They are vicious, predatory and often emerge from their hiding place, grab children off the streets, then vanish. Mostly the children are found years later...or at least pieces of their skeletons are. Sliver's also have long claws attached to their pointer fingers, claws that can retract when necessary. They only have a basic intelligence, enough to open doors, hide and vocalize like a parrot. They are hunted down mercilessly when they are found. The name Mindrender comes from their high pitched voices that only children, dogs and other animals can hear. Cases of young children being driven to hysterical fits by a nearby Sliver's constant voice are common place.
How to kill it: Guns. Lots of guns. Or a flamethrower, if you're some kind of paramilitary nutcase!
