Banshee

Basic Information

Anatomy

Look like a Human, usually female

Genetics and Reproduction

They don't reproduce.

Growth Rate & Stages

There is no growth rate. Xandra made them so they don't go through the Human growth cycle. Essentially they are hatched as is.

Ecology and Habitats

If they allow a Human to see them, they are always outside, usually near a river or a body of water, but this isn't always the case. They are never seen near any caves, homes or anything that could be considered shelter.

Dietary Needs and Habits

They feed off the fear they generate, and some of the death of the person.

Behaviour

Keening when someone is about to die. Does this for the three nights before the person dies (standard). Three weeks for someone who is important, such as a member of nobility or high ranking military or the leader of a country.

Additional Information

Social Structure

There isn't one. They typically work alone and have a set area they stay in.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

They are able to sense when someone is about to die.

Civilization and Culture

History

Created by Xandra to help sow chaos and fear. They use thier ability to let people know when someone is about to die. But since they don't communicate beyond the keening, they don't tell Humans which person is about to die, which causes fear, even if the death is expected due to old age or illness.
Many have been lost over the years, because people stopped believing in them and were not as easy to scare. This has made feeding more difficult and has led to starvation/death. They've also died during wars (due to crossfire).
