Basic Overlooked Worldbuilding Questions

Happy Halloween!

Here's your modern monsters character!

Her name is Victoria 'Ick' Eyessacs.

She's a conspiracy theorist who may or may not be completely human.

She has a pet dog named Snapper and lives in the back of her bug van from her grandfather's long ago shut down exterminator company.

She found a picture of 'Johanna Ever', a cowboy's long lost love only to realize that she looked a little too similar to Johanna Everstone '2'.

The mysterious stranger who claims to be a distant relative of Evermore's founding family that, like her 'long lost cousin' was named after the original Johanna Everstone, who didn't 'survive' the witch trials.

Needless to say, she's more than a little curious especially when she finds other strange photos and paintings that look an awful lot like the new stranger's friends....

Hope you like her!

Love her! She sounds fun lol.

Description: The creature in question looks and dresses like a cave man/woman (or Neanderthal) of varying skin tones except for their glowing pink eyes, brightly colored hair, colored spots, and dripping/melting in appearance skin.

They're usually seen only at night and, upon noticing they've been spotted, they flee—either by crawling up the wall or by melting into a drain. Leaving no evidence that they were even there save for whatever graffiti they've left behind.

They communicate mostly through grunts and other sounds and are known to be skittish around uninjured humans but, interestingly enough if they spot an injured human or animal they tend to do their best to give assistance. Especially if the person or animal in question is a youngling or an elderly.

They are passive creatures who have sightings dating back to ancient times all over the world and have different names in different places. They have also been documented as friends of the 'Never-weres.'

They paint with the hair on their hands and through the paint they seem to breath/spit out.

Something Dungeons & Dragons gets right about its worldbuilding is that most of its iconic monsters are both capable of speech and willing to argue about incredibly stupid shit – just A+ understanding of the medium there – which makes it doubly perplexing that the game goes out of its way to specify that skeletons can't talk. Skeletons are, like, the classic monster to engage in ill-advised banter with, and it's preemptively taken off the table. What the fuck.

You couldn’t live this lie any longer. You finally confess to your blind spouse the truth of your cursed Gorgon nature, only for them to finish sipping their tea before calmly responding. “Of course you are, I’ve always known.”

Can we talk about how in zombie shows/movies/books they always find a veterinarian and not a surgeon? Are veterinarians deemed more likely to survive the apocalypse?
