Characteristics
History
Were not visible to humans, until it was too late. Instead they would hear them as an invisible presence in the back of their minds, insidious voices taunting and teasing.4Running with the Demon – p 17
The Feeders in Hopewell lived in the caves under the cliffs near Sinnissippi Park in ever-expanding numbers. Their increasingly bold behaviour was shown by them starting to appear in the day time all over Hopewell, whereas previously they had only come out at night and only in the park. Pick knew this was a result of a shift in the balance of things, but did not know what to do if the balance wasn’t righted soon.5Running with the Demon – p 13
They would not attack Nest Freemark when Wraith was around6Running with the Demon – p 16, however they knew not to meet her gaze and what would happen if they did.7Running with the Demon – p 17
