## Appearance

The Approaching Demise is a gigantic 3 mile high (exactly 4997.3 meters tall) four legged creature, It is bone white in color, it's overall appearence is vaguely insectoid (Possibly having an Exoskeleton and deriving from a giant Insect-like race from another dimension), the creature has a skinny neck, lots of back spikes (6 big ones), and a bunch of spikes running down it's segmented body, it has four long legs that end in spreaded feet tipped with mantis-like spines on each leg. it also has a bunch of tentacles that extend nearly to the ground from the bottom of it's body. it's head has two antennae coming from the bottom, lots of teeth, and 12-15 black void eyes on it's head.
The creature also possibly has both an endoskeleton and an exoskeleton.

## Behavior

It's Behavior is very mysterious on Earth, it barely moves at all, it just shows up from time to time to stand tall in some area to take people's lives, It usually appears in smaller more unpopulated areas, it seems like the creature actually "Feasts" on people's Demises, since the creature can Teleport, it has been sighted in various countries, human can't actually witness the creature "Teleport" they just show up and disappear when no one is looking or noticing.

## Origin and sightings

It was first sighted in a campsite in Canada, on June 18th, 1996, When the Creature first appeared, almost everyone was taken by the creature to feast on their Demises, only one survivor remained, a man who had his wife and two kids taken away, He was the very first witnesser of the creature and his current wherabouts are unknown, althought he has described the creature in detail:
"No creature like that ever existed, no god ever created the creature, what the actual hell was that,
my wife, and my two children, are completely missing, who the fuck did this?
No signal from anyone else in that dang campsite, how am I still even alive after THAT thing appeared and took away everyone
It could have only been caused by the creature, that thing just showed up and suddenly..
Everyone died, and vanished."

The Man when asked about the Creature's Appearance:
"I remember that fucking monstrosity having like four legs, it looked vaguely skeletal, it also had many odd Tendrils coming out from it,
I don't remember much about anything else as that thing was so fucking huge, probably like over 2 miles high, it's head I think had like many black eyes.
I hope I never encounter that abomination again, as it took away everyone from me, it was the Demise for everyone, and it approached us."
Ever since then the 1996 incident, it has appeared and disappeared multiple times, the exact number of sightings are unknown, as the creature continues to appears sometimes, to take more lives, to meet their Approaching Demise.

The years it has been sighted in are 1996, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2004, 2008, 2012, 2015, 2017, 2020, 2021 and 2023.

## Abilties

* It's most well known ability, which is "feasting" on People's Demises, it dosen't kill for fun or for no reason, and it dosen't actually eat people, it feasts on their deaths.
* It is assumed to Teleport, but it has also been theorized that it dosen't actually teleport, and it actually just travels to it's home universe from time to time, which that means they could also posess the ability to travel to other Dimensions (only Earth and it's own Dimension, however)
* Possibly taking people to it's own Dimension, for reasons unknown besides possibly letting other Approaching Demises feasts on their Demise.
* Very durable Exoskeleton, nothing from humans was able to even provoke it when it appeared let alone damage it.
* It also possess a very rarely used ability known as the "Ephemeral Reverse Time Pulse", it is a gigantic pulse that has the ability to reverse time and age for people that get into the field of the pulse, the pulse can stretch up to almost 200 miles in diameter, the people who get caught in the pulse's field will have their age reversed rapidly, eventually dissolving into nothing and meeting "Their Demise".
