## Lore

At first, the video begins with a title sequence, and prelude to the first animal, showing it's habitat is in Wilkin County, Minnesota. The animal in question is the Greater Prairie Chicken, a small grouse that inhabits the central United States, and may be a familiar animal to people who live in the area. The transition for the second animals is shown, the animal being the Burrowing Owl, an owl that lives in burrows in the ground that used to live all over the Americas, but now only resides in small patches of North America, with the critter being another common sight in some places.

The video the transitions to the third animal, a creature known as the Woodcrawler. Woodcrawlers are stealthy hunters who can traverse most terrain without making a sound. They prefer to live in burrows underneath the homes of large families of humans, where swarms of the creature can adapt easier. It then cuts to a recording of a Woodcrawler, emerging from a doorway after attacking a family.

It then cuts to a montage of Fake People, husks of humans who have been replaced to attack and kill other humans who approach them. After a while, a fake human notices the cameraman before running over and attempting to kill them, but seemingly failing.

The video ends on a similar note as to how it began, with the tile card, and the Gemini Home Entertainment logo, before cutting to black.
