The Alphabet: E Is For…Eaters
Three feet tall, insatiably hungry, armed with sharp knives, and possibly insane, a group of Eaters is not a thing you want to meet. They will attack screaming “EAT! EAT! EAT!” while trying their best to carve you up like a Christmas goose.
Fortunately, these small humanoids tend to live way out in the wild, usually in groups of 10 to 50. They are also terrified of cats, so smart travelers may want to carry a kitty with them.
