== Description ==
Mean Old Men are visible constructs in our world of a human who so hated the world around him that his hatred remains as an Astral creature. In the real world, it appears as an old man connected to long, black astral tendrils that connect it to a source of power within its house.
== Location ==
An old house where someone who hated the world once lived.
== Modus Operandi ==
The Mean Old Man tends to cause people around it to hate it, using Telekinesis to steal children’s toys or to dump leaves in the neighbor’s yard or any number of things that will make people in the community upset. As it does this, it builds up strength until it is capable of using Enthrall to lure people who walk by the house to become interested in it, thus causing them to come in and possibly bring their friends. Once the Mean Old Man has lured people inside, it creates a Pocket Dimension and will split them up and Astral Drag them in, where they become trapped in a much larger and stranger version of the house. It will offer them a series of choices to see if they are worth allowing to live (what this entails changes with the individual entity) and if so, it deposits them in the back yard. Once it has finished with the one, it will pull another in until everyone is either dead or in the back yard.
== Neutralization ==
Mean Old Men can be destroyed by finding the object their astral form is tied to, which is usually somewhere in the house, and destroying it.
== Story Seed ==
A ragged child appears on a neighbor’s door, screaming and crying about the old man who lives down the street and the horrible things he’s seen at that house. An angry group of parents knock at the door… and are never heard from again.
