Insomnian

Insomnians are a type of semi-sapient entity of the class 2c. They live in packs. The Project is currently in the process of eradicating these Hazards.

Location
These entities appear to be invisible, so their exact distribution is uncertain. Agents are to be on the lookout for news about areas with unexpected deaths due to sleep deprivation.

Attributes
Insomnians are invisible until they select a victim. Their target will become restless and have trouble sleeping. After approximately two weeks the Insomnians become visible to their victim, who will grow even more restless. Soon they are unable to sleep at all, and this is when the Insomnians proceed to somehow feed off the sleeplessness in some way. Attempts to make the victim sleep, such as sedatives, fail.

The Project has developed a special type of Aegium-laced goggles that renders Insomnians visible (The Sight also allows perception). They appear as fuzzy, crow-like shapes, settling on branches or shelves when possible.

Interestingly, technology seems to malfunction in the presence of Insomnians, most prominently Internet and DSL connections. The reason for this is under investigation.
