I've seen several people recently mention seeing "small, hairy men." I haven't seen anything of the sort myself, but I'd like to know if anyone has anything more to add to that description, or if anyone saw them doing anything specific.

If anyone managed to catch a picture, that would be even more helpful, but I'll take anything you can give me.

[Yeah, somebody's updating the newbie FAQ.]

[Added to this message is a digitally drawn picture of a Vermedi. While Tamara is no artist, she is skilled enough in photoshop that it gets the point across pretty well even if it isn't exactly a work of art.]

It ran away before I could get a picture with my phone, but that is what I remember of it.

[iaijutsu]

This helps quite a bit. I assume you don't mind if I add it to the FAQ?

[formermagicalgirl]

I do not mind at all. If another who saw one wishes to improve upon it that is also fine. I'm more a graphic artist, but at least that shows enough that someone will know what to look for.

Voice

[icy_heavens]

[Might recognize this voice as from that small kid at those sword training sessions you've both been going to.]

I saw one a week or more ago. It didn't really do much, that I saw. But I got out of sight pretty quickly.

... If I had to be more specific about the height, I'd say it was about four feet. [It's about all the detail he can offer, really.]

[iaijutsu]

This helps, thank you.

It doesn't seem like anyone's noticed any aggression from them yet, but I have to wonder how long that's likely to last.

[icy_heavens]

I didn't want to risk approaching it without being armed, just in case. [Not after that disaster in the Dead District.]

It looked like it was digging through the trash when I saw it. Behind a Radio Shack if that makes a difference.

[iaijutsu]

I was mostly thinking of behavior, but that does raise the question of whether they've been sticking to specific places. The wolves seemed to only frequent the Dead District, but it's sounded like this haven't limited themselves to any specific areas.

[switching to text]

[seriallylucky]

Well, I was thinking in terms of what it'd want there. Unless it eats wiring it probably wouldn't have been after food, and so on.

Someone had a creature run in front of their vehicle the other day. He compared it to a small black dog, but I don't know the specifics. Personally, I haven't seen anything suspicious.

[iaijutsu]

This is the best I've been given to go from. I think I could see someone mistaking that for a dog, in those circumstances.

[controlsdesire]

[While Shuji's usually reluctant to offer info unless he gets something in return, he's thankful he took the chance this time.]

That information is rather useful. I'll keep an eye out for them.

"Small, hairy men"? I've talked to someone a few days ago, and he told me they were about four feet tall and have long fingers. Could that be it?

[iaijutsu]

That sounds close to what I've heard, yes. You didn't see it yourself?

[acequeen]

Nope. I never got the chance to see them up-close, but I heard they're really dangerous.

Black hair, creepin' around. What other data you need?

[iaijutsu]

Was anyone else with you at the time? Specifically, anyone else you know to be part of this network?

Did somebody say pictures

[depolarized]

...'Small, hairy men'? Sounds like you watched too many fairytales.

[iaijutsu]

I'm going to assume you're new around here.

[depolarized]

[He is, but.] Cynical. 'Tolkien dwarf' sightings aren't sounding much better than tall tales about Bigfoot.

It's been quiet. How many people really saw it?

[skickpowered]

One of them tried to attack us! ( ;A;)

[iaijutsu]

It tried to attack?

[Well. That doesn't sound good. Mostly he's just heard people say they were skulking around and ran for it.]

Did you fight it?

[skickpowered]

Yeah, my boss and I did. It was pretty strong, and knew how to fight back.... ( ;~;)

[hollowleg]

Oh, just saw this. But a few days ago, me and another lady saw one in the parking lot of the grocery store. I don't think anyone else could see it.

[iaijutsu]

Didn't notice it, or really couldn't see it at all?
