The five scariest species are:
1) Depression itself - John Rodriguez
2) The atrocities of the upper class - Klannecs
3) Diabetes - Leo
4) Caffeine addiction - Kuppas
5) Homestuck - Husses
Halloween Species
What inspirations did you draw from these images: As an avid fan of Betelgeuse, this costume spoke to me immediately, but I had no clue what to do with it other than give a species some similar "say name three times to summon" attribute. Then, I saw the milk and everything fell into place.
Name of this species: Lactakers
Lactakers are rarely ever seen by the average person beyond a blurry photo of a tall dark shadow hiding in behind a building or in a forest or a mysterious week-old cheesy sludge with various unbranded milk dairy products discarded in it. Because of their mysterious nature, Lactakers have become subjects of myth and legend, with many people devoting their life to finding them and even more people selling fake merchandise of them. However, none of the interest brought any real sightings with it until someone who had been missing for roughly five years appeared stranded in a makeshift spaceship. Somehow they were in perfect health despite being lost all this time, but what was even more surprising than that was their story.
According to them, they woken up in the middle of the night five years ago and was looking for something to eat in their fridge, when they muttered "milk, milk, milk" to themselves and felt a bit woozy before a gigantic figure broke through the walls of their home and took them away, bounding off into space. When they awoke after having passed out from shock, they found themselves in a large wooden pyramid filled with all sorts of food and large tanks of milk. During those five years, Milktakers came and went to the house, supplying new food whenever the stock grew empty, leaving papery blankets whenever it became cold, pasting motivational messages on the walls, and all other sorts of gifts. After eventually overcoming the milk-induced haze clouding their mind, the person managed to escape the pyramid and fly off the mysterious world in a ship made out of various scraps of gifts they had received during their time there.
The last piece of information given by this survivor before they disappeared again the following day was a description of how these mysterious Lactakers looked. They appeared to be two gigantic yellow eyes amidst a huge mist of yellow and white milk with gnarled tree trunk limbs towering taller than most houses. Some people have attempted to replicate the scenario of the original survivor and many have disappeared completely before a few Lactakers were able to be stopped in their efforts and interviewed. From these brief interviews, Lactakers have been revealed as a motherly and caring species, although with a greater than average number of cannibals. Lactakers also appear to have weak long range psychic powers that have become somehow tuned to the "milk milk milk" phrase. While some people have dared to reach out to this mysterious species, many have never returned, and those who have are permanently scared by their experience, albeit physically as healthy as a horse.
