Alp

A Germanic monster said to be born from a child who died at the hands of an animal. Really, the magikin’s wisp form on Earth lives in the child’s body, animating and stretching it. They take on the appearance of teenagers to hide their gremlin-like body, and wear a hat to hide their monstrous ears. They seek out people with great fears and insecurity and turn their dreams into nightmares; by sitting on the victim’s chest, they grow heavier and heavier as the nightmares become more vicious, and eventually the victim suffocates. They are killed by creating a dream so good it can’t be manipulated.
