Description
The Baby Eater is thought to be a myth or maybe a fairy tale told by parents to scare children into behaving, akin to the boogeyman. It will blend into towns or small cities, biding its time for a long time to integrate into the society, even appearing as an upstanding citizen until its time to feed. Upon the hunger taking over the Baby Eater it will begin stalking its prey and finding the right time to enter the home and steal a child away to feast upon. It will either attempt to magically enthrall the child or baby into coming with it or force it through its deadly incapacitating maw. Once its prey is back to the Baby Eaters home, it will devour the target down to the last bone leaving nothing but mortified parents.
