Habitat & Rest
A qeplueoytz is likely to hunt and live within urban environments— larger cities with a constant influx of fresh meat are ideal.
Their sleep patterns are adjustable, much like that of a human's.
Blending in
Qelueoytz are able to change their adaptive skin to mimic more than just skin— they are able to mimic their surroundings, as well.
This is not a perfect mimicry, and cannot hold up terribly well when an observer is close to them— but it is enough to hide from a fair distance or at a glance.
This is used in a variety of ways, some simply use it to escape danger— casting off their clothing while being chased and rounding a corner, never to be seen again.
Others use it as another tool to ambush their prey, lying along a dock at night, or flat against an alley wall— striking out at just the right moment.
Child-free
Many qeplueoytz are self-centered, focused on their hunts and their intelligence.
As a result, they are particularly reluctant to summon children.
Not to mention, they are often aware of a newly-spawned monsters' likelihood to devour their parent.
This act, too, decreases their power— something that is hard for one to give up once collected. This is an action reserved for only the more dire of situations.
Even then, they hesitate.
Another awesome beastie! The first quote got a laugh out of me. The descriptions were well done to. The mouth on their chest is awesome too... creepier the more I think about it.
Thanks! Glad you like them. This was one of those cases where I actually had more I wanted to fit into the sidebar but couldn't. I've got plans for future articles involving some of these!
