Abstracts (Monster type)
The beings known as Abstracts are by far the most alien the world has ever seen and to those aware of their existence, perhaps the most frightening. Abstracts are creatures that come from a universe which interacts with all universes, it is known as the Abstract Realm. The Abstract Realm, according to the greatest scientists and scholars, is a giant mind with independent agents that collect knowledge, interact and adapt to other realms. Because of the Abstract Realm's alien nature, it's inhabitants are wildly changed upon entry to our world and vice versa.
Most common Abstracts are small, unnoticeable and based in very simple but very insignificant feelings. The weakest are based on feelings such as the feeling you get when you see a beret or when you experience something new, some are so alien they represent emotions not even of this world. The stronger ones (Atleast to our realm) inhabit aspects and emotions simple but very powerful, anger, happiness and as usual some of these types of Abstracts carry simple, powerful emotions that cannot even be described by us, contact with this sort have adverse effects on the mortal mind. The strongest are the Abstracts of ideals, theories, inspiration, belief and so on. Extremely complex aspects of thought that are very powerful and act wildly different, these Abstracts are among the smartest and the strangest, most are not even compatible with our world which is why this classification is so rare.
The Tech nation devised equipment to see past the psionic level of Abstract disguises of which there are two. Psionic level is what humans see either because of a self defense mechanism to not see such a frightening creature or outright psychic manipulation from the Abstract itself and then there is the adaption level which is essential to an Abstract's existence on this realm, being adapted to something at least somewhat relatable to the reality in which it inhabits.
The strangest story involving the Tech nation discovering an abstract was the famous "Ring worm of Gileb" Or "Gileb's self eating worm". It was flooding in the town of Gileb and had been for several years, since they were up on a hill, it began to form a lake in the valley below. Under an odd hunch from "Mr. Abstract" (The man who invented the goggles that see these creatures.) Soldiers set out, equipped with the new technology, only to discover the horrible truth of the rain cloud. It actually appeared to be a giant worm with two mouth that appeared to be traveling along it's body as if it were eating itself and regenerating constantly. The blood from the worm was spilled every time it bit into itself, thus causing the "rain". Oddly, it was discovered that the Abstract creature's blood was beneficial to plants and animals, but had the odd side effect of making everything a bit sensitive to light.
No one knows how they got rid of the worm however most speculate it's in the possession of the mysterious "Mr. Abstract".
