So, I'll cut to the chase.

So far we have an indeterminate life form, capable of extreme stealth and is highly volatile. I've noticed no sign of greater intelligence but if anyone's noticed differently feel free to prove me wrong. I'd be much happier to be able to reason these things down.

They have no sense of self preservation, and they move at a decent pace but the spiders still got 'em beat. It looks like it takes three shots to bring one down.

The thing is, it'll be in everyone's best interest if there's a solution found and the locals are coming up short, so I'm wondering what information you guys have come across or proposals that you might have.

Proposals and Facts:
 → Canines and similar species don't like them
 → Possibly building a trap to lead them into
 → Possibly scanning them for weaknesses
 → Don't use weapons or attacks that involve electricity
 → They don't like cats, no word on whether that extends to other species yet

Maybe. It doesn't seem to be good for much else than doodling around and exploding.

You noticed anything in particular yet?

Nothing. But then, I can't stay in their presence without my skin crawling and turning and running the other way.

I need to work on that. Not that I mind the early warning, it's very useful, but I'd like it to be my choice whether to run or not.

That's at least a way of knowing that they're around.

But inconvenient for me if I find myself in a position of needing to protect someone from them, but unable to because I'm busy trying to climb the nearest wall to get away.
