- "Alright, I'm going to start of this presentation with a warning. No matter what it might seem like, these things are awful beasts. If possible, it's best to not interact with them at all. If you, must, however, we want you to know how to do it safely. SO. This thing- *He clicks a button, and the slide changes to THE MOST UNFLATTERING PHOTO of a Haunt. Probably Wurzel to be honest.* is a Haunt. You may also hear them referred to as Nightmares, cats, or just as general Voidbeasts. I cannot stress enough how awful these things are. They literally spawn from traumatic events- Well, most of the time, but the rest of the times don't really matter because if you're going through a traumatic enough event one of these things WILL find you- *Another slide change, now showing a picture of a wight leaking void from their eyes, with a Haunt just, stanced up, slightly blurry in the background. It looks oddly intimidating.* and will imprint on you. If you see one approach and try to imprint on you, run away, it's the easiest way to make sure this never ends up happening in the first place. Or just don't get traumatized. *Another slide change to an image of a wight laying face down on the ground, a Haunt loafing on top of them. The blade tails are dangerously close to the wight.* On the off chance you don't follow any of this wonderful advice, either because you didn't listen to the latter and are too traumatized, or didn't listen to the former and are just a freak, you are now stuck with this thing. It now knows you better than literally anyone else, and will do awful things to you like cuddle you and eat all your food. And also injure you very frequently. *A second slide change, now showing the same image but with the wight all cut up and injured.* They also scream ALL THE DAMN TIME. And can also overload your brain temporarily, which is an awful feeling. Also, when they're formed, they can turn colors- Superstition says that warmer colors are more personal traumas, the opposite going for cooler colors, and the brighter the color the worse the trauma. And/or the color matches the traumatized eye-line color. We're still working that part out. *Slide change to a slide show automatically switching between Haunts of several different colors and saturations. Most are mildly photoshopped for some reason.* Anyways back to why these things are awful. First of all, they can live in the voidsea, like most Voidbeasts, and- again- are CLASSIFIED AS VOIDBEASTS, SO AGAIN, AVOID THEM IF POSSIBLE. And secondly, even if you don't get traumatized? They can still just, show up. *A slide change! This time, it's a picture of a Haunt doing a BEEEG stretch.* Sometimes they're just there. We have no idea where these things come from, what their goal is, why they imprint on wights, how dangerous they are, or why they eat so much goddamn food. We have no idea what these things are, at the end of the day, so it's best to avoid them whenever possible. *One last slide change- A picture of the wight doing the presentation, carrying a Haunt.* Now excuse me, I have to get home and feed my cat."
