== Description ==
Ix’icar (pl. Ix’icari), codenamed “Grandaddy Longlegs,” are giant creatures that resemble white spiders with extremely long legs.
== Location ==
Ix’icari are interdimensional creatures which sometimes accidentally wander into “weak” areas in their dimension and wind up in other ones, sometimes ours. This normally takes place up in remote mountainous areas, where naturally-occurring fog and mists are confused for precipitation from another realm. It would not be a stretch to believe that some day such a mist might appear in a place like San Francisco.
== Modus Operandi ==
Ix’icar are normally completely harmless, and would be completely happy to wander about freely, peacefully drinking up algae from ponds. However, if attacked, they become very violent, and will puncture through their targets with their spindly legs. In some cases, they can puncture through the head or chest of a victim and then use their Partial Possession ability to control that person as long as he is still connected to their limb by shooting electronic pulses through their leg and into him. They are limited in this in that the victim must remain impaled and, not understanding human language, cannot speak.
== Neutralization ==
The Ix’ical can be destroyed by physical means, although being extremely large this may not be easy. They can be sent back to their own realm, but also this may turn out to be a difficult task.
== Story Seed ==
A journal is found in a ruined plot of land in the Ozarks - a family lock themselves in their basement when a large creature assaults their land. The father goes out to investigate, but when he returns, he refuses to answer the cries of his children. Suddenly, as soon as the eldest son notices the small barb pointing out of his chest, the father grabs him and the two are pulled away into the fog. Where did the creature go, what angered it, and where will it strike next?
