Mauls people with teeth, unaffected by bullets

“Wait,” one of them said as he got a closer look at what I’d made of myself. “What the hell?”

I could be faster than I looked, and I surged toward them, my mouths all vibrating and gurgling. I hadn’t formed actual voice boxes, but I could vibrate the back of my throat and move the lips to replicate a sort of faint sound. It wouldn’t have sounded like much, but there were a hundred of them, and it sounded like a cacophony. I hoped that it would unnerve them, and it. Two of them turned and ran toward the beasts in the background.

The third had pulled a pistol and was shooting at me. I barely felt the bullets. They passed through me and the holes left behind closed back up almost immediately. I was on him a moment later, and he started screaming as my fangs started biting into him.

There was something wrong with his face. It was a little off from human standard. I could feel his cells well enough to pretend to be him, but I’d need to crack the skull to get a really good look at what was under the hood.

I felt bones crack underneath me, and I formed eyes close to the skull just as I pulled the skull open. The light coming through my body distorted things a little, but I could see well enough.
