AMGCYOA Monsters Interest Draft

	There are only three things properly known about monsters broadly, and where they came from. First, all monsters come from one entity, "Mother", and secondly, "Mother" and monsters live in a place called the Bleakness, and third, all monsters have something they wish to take from other lifeforms. Beyond this, all is what-ifs and speculation. No one knows how monsters appear, or even how they escape. All attempts to question or interrogate have lead to visual impairment of some kind on the part of the non-monster(s), and the monster being gone when they can again see. Witnesses also usually note a peculiar, difficult to describe, humming sound during the sight incapacitation.
	However, when you get into specifics, you can find some knowledge, though not very much. Arguably the most well known monster, largely for its simple minded nature, ease of defeat, and sheer numbers, is the Cottie. These creatures are often described by veterans as follows, "puffs of cotton with beady eyes that chirp... Dear god, the chirping." Indeed, the only reason Cotties usually are a threat is the fact that their numbers makes their chirping drown out and all coherent sounds, and that this chirping seems to allow other monsters to come into the human realm from the Bleakness. Cotties are the only monsters known to reproduce, as of this writing, and this they do by asexual division, which has been described by witnesses as disturbing to watch occur. These little tufts have appeared on maps of monster activity, and other monster related media. Some say you can brew a special beverage with Cottie eyes, but this could not be validated, as there is no known way to extract the eyeballs of a Cottie.
	Another, less iconic species, is the Chokit. These deep crimson toad-like 2 limbed (technically 3 if you count the prehensible tongue) creatures aren't obscure for one pertinent reason: their food habits. Generally, Chokits will grab a nearby creature with its tongue (It is always something alive, there is no evidence to suggest they can even mistake something dead for alive), choke it to the point of unconciousness, and then beat it against the nearest durable surface until it is a bloody, broken pulp. They then devour the victim, plain and simple. This manner of eating has lead to some debate over whether it is technically a scavenger or not, though most people treat it as not, due to it never picking up even a fresh corpse for this pulverization.
