The Bumper's Tick - A tiny spider-like demon that can hide dormant for ages in old buried threads. When such a thread is disturbed, it wakes and attaches itself to a new host. If successful, it can infect them with Lame Disease.

It is commonly believed that the Bumper's Tick cannot successfully detach itself from a "sticky" thread. However, Legend has it, that long ago, during the Forum Dark Ages, before the HIMEOBS Orbital Cleansing Event, an adventurous Mod tried to exterminate a particularly stubborn infestation of Bumper's Tick by stickying all threads in the entire Forum. But his plan backfired, as all the ticks spontaneously came out of their hiding places, infecting the entire Forum population with a particularly nasty strain of Lame.
It is said that those who survived this pandemic ultimately became immune to the disease, but whispered rumours say that it is only because they made a dark pact with the Bumper's Ticks, explaining their mysterious compulsion to bump the haunted dusty threads of those terrible Ages for ever and ever...

Another pair of slightly older creatures that have been kicking up more trouble than usual are the mad hatter and the march hare.  Their tea party is much louder than usual, although the Dormouse does not seem to be in any danger of waking up.

Numron - this is a ghost who lives in cell phone towers. If you die in a car accident while texting or talking on the phone, this may be your fate. Like many ghosts, Numrons are bound to this plane by their unfinished business. In their case, it is a message that was never delivered. When you get bad phone reception, you can sometimes hear them trying to whisper their message. They are also known for calling people from an unlisted number and then not saying anything. They are also behind a lot of "heavy breathing" phone calls.

Cabinet Hipsters- These smurflike fae are too cool to live in the forest. They like to throw parties inside your cabinets and drawers. They party all night, but by morning they are usually too tuckered out to clean up after it. They often leave spots of food on silverware and dishes that you swore you cleaned already.

I could draw these. In fact, I just might do this anyway, whether anyone wants me to or not.

Currently infected.  Boraxing self.

El Chubbycabra - A wandering spirit which seek out areas bearinga  couch, gaming system, and an internet connection.  Posesses the inhabitants or visitors of these areas.  The spirit will temporaily turn them into sessile beings inhabiting the couch who will game and surf the internet, typign or manipulating the controller with their unnaturally mobile, yet fat orange stained claws.  The Chubbycabra will order out for delivery of pizza or chinese food and consume them at a rapid pace, leading to it's host growing rotund with polonged possesion.  Observers have speculated that the Chubbycabra may suck the food from the respective delivery boxes, but this rumor is false.  They just eat fast.

Exorcism may be performed via exercise or vigourous, hilarious, games  (dropping 187 with a motherfucking NERF gun, for example).  Less favorably, kicking the host's ass off the couch can work.

The Misplayced - The Misplayced are a mischievous gang of gnome-like creatures that revel in pulling pranks. Have you ever lost your keys/phone/sunglasses and look everywhere, only to find that they have been in/on your hand/pocket/head the whole time? That is the Misplayeced stealing your stuff,and then returning it to you at the most inopportune time to make you look like an idiot.

[Cuddlefish]

Phawlsees - Phawlcees are tiny, microscopic creatures that, if allowed in, live in your brain. They convince you to regard other peoples opinions and ideas as truth, even if they are not. Once a false idea is accepted by the host, Phawlcees push this idea to the forefront of your brain and make you militant about these ideas. If nothing is done to stop this process, the false idea becomes engrained in your brain so deeply, that you think that you, yourself, thought it up. False ideas implanted by Phawlcees in this manner are almost impossible to get rid of, even if you are aware that it was an implanted idea. Phawlcees live off of the negative energy that comes from illogical and combatative arguments, so the ideas planted are often religious or secular in nature.

Phantom Step - Phantom Steps live at the bottom of staircases. They are responsible for making you think that there is one more step left untill you reach the bottom of the stairs, resulting in a hilarious misstep. A greater Phantom Step can do so in areas familliar to you, like your own home.

Unfortunately, someone already has the faebook.com domain, and it redirects to a scammy-looking site. It would be delightful to have it to put something like that on.
