InCryptid	comment	InCryptid is an Urban Fantasy series by Seanan McGuire, author of the October Daye series. She also writes the Newsflesh and Parasitology series as Mira Grant.The creatures known as cryptids are real, and have shared the earth with mankind since time immemorial. For centuries, a religious order known as The Covenant of St. George has been defending and protecting unknowing humanity by slaying cryptids wherever they encounter them. But a schism occurred in the ranks, and one Covenant agent and his wife left the order, never to return. They and their descendants, now hunted by the Covenant, dedicated their lives to studying cryptids, learning their ecological purpose, and only harming them when no other method of dealing with their presence would work.The Healy and Price families operate with the knowledge that the Covenant considers them traitors and wants them dead. The worldwide cryptid community is aware that the families are no longer Covenant — but they are not uniformly convinced that it isn't a trick. Consequently, the family must train to survive both the cryptids who don't trust them, and the Covenant who still think of them as filthy traitors.The youngest generation of the Price family consists of Alex, zookeeper; Verity, who wanted to forego the family business and be a ballroom dancer; Antimony, still studying; Arthur, reclusive part-incubus geek boy and researcher; Sarah, babysitting Verity; and Elsie, who isn't really a cryptozoologist but is still held to the family code of conduct. Their parents, aunts, uncles, and assorted cousins, both biological and adopted, human and not, operate as support and information network.Now has a character page. Please put character-specific tropes there.The series so far (in chronological order for the storyline) consists of:

InCryptid / int_10134c97	type	Artistic License â€“ Gun Safety
InCryptid / int_10134c97	comment	Artistic License â€“ Gun Safety: Antimony always uses throwing knives rather than guns because she sometimes uses rollerblading and circus arts in combat and can't trust that her guns wouldn't misfire. (Her dancer sister Verity also prefers knives; although she never mentions it, this is probably why.) Also, whenever characters who are usually noncombatants are drawn into action, they will be handed knives rather than guns because there isn't enough time to teach them proper gun safety.

InCryptid / int_1044a759	comment	Dying Race: The Prices have played a role in trying to save a few near-extinct cryptid races including dragons. The Price family are actively protecting the Aeslin mice. Every now and then there is a schism in the ranks and mice leave the Prices to form their own colony somewhere — they as yet have never heard back from the splinter groups. However there is a hidden colony living in the Covenant, going undetected as such because they don't wear religious raiment. They can be and are mistaken for ordinary mice. Unfortunately, this also means they are treated as such. The tanuki are mentioned as one of the races nearly driven extinct by the Covenant. In Calculated Risks, we learn about the Kairos, who the Johrlac drove all but extinct, since they were naturally immune to Johrlac telepathy.

The same is true for her brother Alex, who goes by Alex Preston. Antimony has four and a half: Antimony is her real name, but it's a secret outside the family. Antimony goes by "Annie Thompson" locally in Oregon. She also has the Stage Name Final Girl to go with her roller derby. Timpani Brown, sole survivor of the massacre of the Brown Carnival is her cover story for infiltrating the Covenant on behalf of her family, and then for infiltrating the Spenser Carnival on behalf of the Covenant. She goes by Melody West in high school, and revisits it as an alias when she's working at Lowryland. All of her non-stage identities (except Melody West) have a name that can be shortened to "Annie".

Dragon blood is mutative and transforms humans that it comes into contact with into the reptile like "Servitors". Johrlac blood is an extremely effective anticeptic and stops excess bleeding. Tooth fairy dust Unicorn water is the most pure water possible, making it very useful as a base for making any sort of compound where purity is important. Wagyl venom can cure any disease or ailment, provided you survive the venom itself — and that's hardly a given.

This is explained as a byproduct of their being psychic - since they don't recognize prey or each other by visual cues, they never saw a reason to develop visual cues to distinguish themselves from each other. A simple haircut and any Johrlac can stand in for another of the appropriate sex.

Enid Healy is attacked by something that liquefies her flesh in hours if not minutes such that when her granddaughter Alice finds her, she's just a skeleton in a pool of sludge. The same grisly fate befalls five other people (two of them children), and Gwendolyn, the one who released the monster in the first place. After finding out that Naga manipulated Alice, lied to her, and made her go through unnecessary Flaying Alive for 50 years, Thomas sets fire to all the oxygen in his cells, burning him from the inside out. Jonathan Healy is literally punched full of holes by an Apraxis wasp nest, which not only kills him extremely painfully but makes his corpse a Time Bomb of developing wasp nymphs.

Asking her questions or for favors will involve The Crossroads, and will require payback or other compensation. Antimony has skirted the edge of these rules enough that Mary warns her the Crossroads know who she is and have taken notice. In Tricks For Free, she finally makes a deal in order to save her life and Sam's. Aunt Mary explains in exquisitely horrifying detail in "The Pilgrimage" why she is perfectly okay with it being her job to talk people out of making these.

Downplayed with Antimony, who undergoes the most learning and Character Development as she tries to figure out her sorcerer powers. All three of them come from a Badass Family that puts its kids through Training from Hell to make sure they can survive dangerous cryptids, the Covenant, and whatever else the world throws at them. Likewise with the prequel short stories featuring their great-grandfather Jonathan and his parents Alexander and Enid (Jonathan's wife Fran is an outsider to the cryptid world, but already a badass Action Girl). Averted with Alice, whose life is covered from the moment of her birth.

InCryptid / int_2c4e8315	comment	In the first book, Verity's understanding of Jonathan meeting Frances and Thomas's disappearance is...incorrect, to say the least. Possibly due to Seanan not having decided on the exact backstory yet, or due to Verity not paying attention to the mice's family history lessons. According to Verity, Alexander Healy started hunting cuckoo shortly after they moved to America, prompted by the Salem witch trials. He found a hive in Colorado and sent Jonathan to investigate; Jonathan returned with "a fiancee, a police record, and proof cuckoos existed." Jonathan and Fran did find one cuckoo in Colorado, but they had no idea what they'd find there going in, just something bad enough to make Apraxis wasps scared. This also makes it sound like Jonathan met Fran there, though she'd been living with the Healys for 3 years at that point.

Children of finfolk mothers will always be finfolk, while children of human mothers may remain human, although they display the dementia in later years that is characteristic of the finfolk growth cycle. Children with an incubus or succubus parent inherit the pheromones and narcotic blood. This seems to apply to fÅ«ri as well, though we've only seen one, and he's never known any others. Tanuki are cross-fertile with many other humanoid species, and will always have tanuki children.

So she's now walking alone on the road with a new identity and no one but Aunt Mary from the family she can see or talk to. Halfway Through the Wood. The bidi-taurabo-haza is killed (as well as Gwendolyn, who released it in the first place, but only Mary knows that), but not before killing Enid Healy and five other people, and almost killing Alice. Because of Thomas's Honor Before Reason, he refuses to tell Alice about the deal he made with the Crossroads to save her life, so he also can't tell her why he can't leave the house anymore, which she interprets as him not being interested in her.

InCryptid / int_4832a3bb	comment	Always Chaotic Evil: Cuckoos. It is possible to build a Cuckoo who isn't, but it takes stripping all of the prenatal psychic imprinting out of them and starting more or less from scratch (as Angela did to Sarah at a young age). The only known Cuckoo who wasn't programmed from before birth to be this was Angela Baker, who can only project telepathically, not receive. Word of God says that this is because the Johrlac's original home dimension dumped their sociopaths in a dimension next to this dimension, and, well, see "prenatal psychic programming".note In Imaginary Numbers, we meet Mark, who's a Dragon with an Agenda — he helps fight his own kind because he accidentally came to care for his human sister. In Calculated Risks, as she learns more about her species, Sarah starts wondering whether they've been right about the cuckoos after all. They're not technically, but cryptids have to treat the Covenant of St. George this way if they want to survive. The Covenant firmly believes that anything sapient that's not human is a demon, and therefore ACE, even though they're (with the exception of the Cuckoos) not. The Cuckoos are so dangerous that Alexander Healy broke his radio silence with the Covenant to warn them that Cuckoos existed. Werewolves. They're not an actual species of cryptid, but the result of a variant of the rabies virus that originated in shapeshifting cryptids and was accidentally spread to humans and other mammals. While transformed, they're wolves (or bears, or rhinos, depending on the variant of the virus the individual caught) that are nothing but mindless, aggressive beasts. This turns out to be subverted- the initial transformations are traumatic enough that they drive the victim berserk, but eventually if someone lives with it long enough they can learn to remain in control and can learn to lead a mostly normal life so long as they make sure to avoid exposing other people to their body fluids.

InCryptid / int_487c525d	comment	Brainwashing for the Greater Good: The Johrlac are a species of telepathic sociopaths who act as Backstory Invaders and generally use their powers to get whatever they want from other sapient beings. Angela Baker, one of the only non-evil ones, used her powers to excise the latent Ghost Memory that makes Johrlac go evil from her adopted daughter Sarah. In Midnight Blue-Light Special, Sarah gives the Covenant agents Laser-Guided Amnesia to make them forget Verity existed and think Dominic was dead. In Imaginary Numbers, a group of Johrlac kidnap Sarah and force her to go through an Evolution Power-Up into a "Johrlac Queen", who will use Formulaic Magic to teleport their whole species to a new dimension, destroying Earth (and her mind) in the process. Due to interference from Sarah's friends and family, she ends up wiping the minds of almost every other Johrlac there, turning them into Empty Shells with Horror Hunger. At the climax of the next book, she does the same thing Angela did to her to about a dozen Johrlac children, with their consent. Since the only Johrlac left on Earth after that book are Sarah, Angela, Mark (who didn't have his mind tampered with but somehow turned out okay), and the children, their species may take a turn for the better. Sarah does it again to Margaret and a couple other Covenant agents, making it so they won't even be able to think of harming a child ever again.

Human villains will often take advantage off or harm cryptids who are often just going about their way. The Covenant apparently did start out with a noble mission to protect mankind from things that would prey on them — but then they learned to enjoy killing. Referenced by Antimony:

He turns out not to be. The little girl, after being very freaked out, ends up making friends with the would-be god, teaches him a few human customs, and presses him into playing tea party. When her mother finally finds her, she recognizes the would-be god's expression as one her husband often wears when their daughter presses him into playing tea party against his will.

Because of the telepathy, Sarah can generally tell what gender someone is â€” but not what gender they're presenting as. She doesn't have issues most of the time, but she tells us that she's made mistakes in the past.

InCryptid / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: Verity takes some actions early in the first book that seem odd given her later characterization, such as unwillingness to kill or relocate even extremely dangerous nonsentient cryptids (such as an ahool, basically a cross between a flying monkey, a bat, and a komodo dragon) when doing so would be beneficial for both the sapient cryptid community and the human community.note Justified in that some of the non-sentient cryptids serve a biological purpose in their native ecosystem, and moving them would throw off the ecology of the area ... and furthermore might make them an invasive species, harmful to the ecology of their new location if relocated. In the first book, Verity's understanding of Jonathan meeting Frances and Thomas's disappearance is...incorrect, to say the least. Possibly due to Seanan not having decided on the exact backstory yet, or due to Verity not paying attention to the mice's family history lessons. According to Verity, Alexander Healy started hunting cuckoo shortly after they moved to America, prompted by the Salem witch trials. He found a hive in Colorado and sent Jonathan to investigate; Jonathan returned with "a fiancee, a police record, and proof cuckoos existed." Jonathan and Fran did find one cuckoo in Colorado, but they had no idea what they'd find there going in, just something bad enough to make Apraxis wasps scared. This also makes it sound like Jonathan met Fran there, though she'd been living with the Healys for 3 years at that point. Antimony mentions tearing up her Social Security card for her Melody West identification in Blocked, but by Tricks For Free, she still happens to have Melody's ID in her go bag. note Justified arguably by the fact that in the story Antimony only tells her father that she tore up the card and is never seen actually doing it - hence why her family wouldn't think to look for the ID when Antimony was on the run.

Antimony and Sam take advantage of this by pretending to make out, so that they'd be attacked by the cryptid they're after.

The closest they come to accepting any of them is classifying certain races as not being worth the trouble to hunt down right now. The Thirty Six Society in Australia concerns themselves with conservation of animal-type cryptids, and either ignores or takes advantage of human intelligence cryptids, justifying their actions by saying "they're not people." Humans are okay with dating cryptids as long as they don't know their sweetie isn't strictly human. Carlotta is a human who knows a lot about the cryptid world and is an active security risk. She is the reason Elsie ended up on the wrong end of some teen boys in "Sleepover". Sam has stories of human girls refusing to kiss, let alone get intimate with, him in his nonhuman form because they consider it next best thing to bestiality. Different cryptid species are suspicious of one another. It is an insult to refer to another cryptid by the name of their species rather than their name. At least one bogeyman has done so to Elsie by calling her a Lilu (succubus).

InCryptid / int_5cd8680b	comment	Johrlac, also known as "cuckoos", are left as Doorstop Babies with human families, and their natural Backstory Invader powers make their Muggle Foster Parents believe that the cuckoo was their own child all along. When they enter their first instar at puberty, their latent Ghost Memory "hatches", imbuing them with the Johrlac species' cultural memory, and the knowledge of what they are. This usually makes them (from the human point of view) temporarily Go Mad from the Revelation and murder their human family. When they resurface, they're fully aware of their own telepathic abilities, and their status as an ambush predator.

A routewitch is a major supporting character in Chaos Choreography, and comes with considerable explication of how their powers work. Another routewitch, Rose and Mary all show up in Tricks For Free. Rose's grandniece as well as the Crossroads themselves are the central antagonists of the book That Ain't Witchcraft. The plot of Angel of the Overpass directly deals with the aftermath of that book.

The Seal of Solomon binds demons and certain dead things but succubi and incubi are not actually demons. The D&D manuals get it wrong, possibly due to cryptids in their editing and publishing departments. Odysseus was real, but Ithaca is actually Another Dimension (and he may not have been human). There are hellish dimensions, but no indication that they're where souls go after death (the ones who don't become ghosts, that is). There's no sign of a "heaven" dimension either.

Therianthrope species like fÅ«ri, tanuki, and chupacabras can simply transform into a human form. Gorgons, particularly female ones, wear wigs (often with a Beehive Hairdo to give the snakes more room) and special glasses to counteract their petrifying gaze. Young sirens look just like humans, though often with fantastic hair colors, and sometimes unnatural skin colors (for humans). In their twenties, they start developing scales, and by 40 they've turned into a classic mermaid. Sasquatch can shave their body hair and pass for very tall humans. Dragon princesses (actually female dragons), sylphs, jinks, and several other species look identical to humans on the outside.

After the equation is "killed", she finds she has psychic powers far beyond any other Johrlac, but ironically can't control (or even detect) the surviving Johrlac, whose minds were wiped of anything other than Horror Hunger when she shoved the equation into them.

InCryptid / int_86ba007a	comment	Bad Powers, Good People: Sarah Zellaby and Angela Baker are polite, kind, well-adjusted people who belong to a species of sociopathic mind controllers. Gorgons can turn you to stone and have venomous snakes for hair but are gregarious neighbors with a strong sense of place and family. Most ghouls - the only obligate carnivore in order Primates - keep themselves out of other people's hair as much as they can. Elsie and Artie, son and daughter of incubus Ted Harrington, are succubus and incubus respectively. Elsie is extremely careful not to sweat or bleed around humans because they react to her pheromones and blood like an irresistible lust command. Artie, whose pheromones are stronger than those of his sister, leads an entirely reclusive life, refusing to leave the family home even in dire situations.

Verity and Antimony are a Tomboy and Girly Girl pair in some ways, though it can be difficult to tell whether Verity is a Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak or a Tomboy with a Girly Streak. Antimony is much less friendly with strangers than her sister, though once she becomes friends with someone they're her True Companions. She also complains that Verity doesn't think through the consequences of her actions, like when she revealed the Prices' continued existence on live TV. A twist with Antimony and James, who didn't grow up with her but who she adopted as a brother when they were both adults (after seeing his bad family situation). Antimony is Hot-Blooded, appropriate for someone whose specialty is Playing with Fire, while James is An Ice Person in both power and personality.

That Ain't Witchcraft has Antimony permanently destroy the Crossroads, affecting events not only in this series, but leading to the finale of the related Ghost Roads trilogy. Imaginary Numbers (and its immediate sequel Calculated Risks, since they're essentially a Multi-Part Episode) has Sarah undergo an Evolution Power-Up, turning her into an Apocalypse Maiden, and ultimately turning nearly all the other Johrlac on Earth into Technically Living Zombies. In the prequel shorts, "Halfway Through the Wood" is a novel-length story that covers not only Enid's death, but Alice finally telling Thomas she loves him, and the bargain Thomas made with the Crossroads for Alice's life. Aftermarket Afterlife. After skirmishes across the previous 12 books, the Covenant-Price Family Cold War finally turns hot. The Covenant launches a multi-pronged attack on the North American Cryptid community and its allies, resulting in the deaths of Jane and Dominic. In retaliation, the Prices (with Mary's aid), successfully bomb Penton Hall — thereby taking out most of the Covenant leadership.

InCryptid / int_9c23f3a0	comment	Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti: In the first two books, Verity is renting an apartment from a sasquatch who's on vacation.note The Field Guide on the author's website mentions that sasquatch often live among their hairless cousins for a while like the Amish rumspringa, and then return home to settle down. She mentions that Bigfoot and Sasquatch are two closely related species, and enjoy pranking each other. The advent of depilatory products, mail-order shoe catalogs, and the internet have made life much easier for them in some ways, as without the hair they just look like very large humans, and those who choose not to shave can sometimes make even more money telecommuting. The Yowie is a sort of Australian Sasquatch, though their hair and skin is green, making them less likely to live among humans. They typically hang out in bogs, though it isn't known whether they do so because they like it or if it's just because that's the only place where they can easily hide from humans given their size and coloration.

InCryptid / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: Fran's death in "Broken Paper Hearts" was heavily foreshadowed. In "The Lay of the Land", Mary jokes that Thomas is "doomed" and should "just accept [his] fate now". We find out that Mary brokered the deal between Thomas and the Crossroads. Timpani reflects on the danger of a Mara in a carnival. A Mara with whom she is acquainted as Annie Thompson aka Final Girl shows up when Timpani and Sam go to the roller derby for a date. In "Balance", Eliza the Johrlac reflects that she wouldn't want to be chosen to be a queen. She doesn't go into the details, but it's clear that it's less a position of authority and more being used as an extremely powerful tool by your hive. Sarah later finds out the dangers of becoming a queen personally, although with the help of her family she escapes and turns the tables. In Tricks for Free, Rose mentions that stealing the power from distance traveled is one of the main aims of snake cults. It turns out that's what Naga has been doing to Alice. There's several moments in Spelunking Through Hell where Alice notes that she recognizes the style of building that the Autarch's compound is. Astute readers will realize before she does that it's the same as lamia architecture, foreshadowing that they were originally from that world.

Subverted: The Covenant's way: They burned down the Freakshow in New York City (where Verity used to work when it was under another name) because it was cryptid owned and operated. They planned to blow up and burn down the carnival using bombs and accelerants which means insurance would not pay out to any survivors even if it was done in malice by an outside party.

Discount Armageddon actually has two such chapters, one set in the mid-1990s showing the beginning of Verity's passion for dance and the second, set in mid-2012, being more typical of the series' opening chapters.

Alice has spent all the intervening time traveling through countless dimensions searching for him. At the end of Imaginary Numbers and for the majority of the next book, Calculated Risks, Sarah, Annie, Artie, James, and Mark are stuck in a dimension of Big Creepy-Crawlies and have to figure out how to get home. Transported along with them are hundreds if not thousands of "zombified" Johrlac and the entire campus of the University of Iowa. In Spelunking Through Hell, Alice finds the dimension where Thomas was sent, a Death World where the Crossroads tossed anyone who made a deal with them and they didn't want to kill, for whatever reason. James's best friend Sally, who also made a deal, is also there. Some of the people trapped there have been there for so long that they have descendants who have never known another world.

The dragon princesses (mostly white-passing) and Sunil and Rochak (madhura, Indian-passing) are more tangential allies. Verity's friends from the reality show Dance or Die include Pax (ukupani, Pacific islander-passing, and bisexual/pansexual), Malena (chupacabra, Hispanic), and Lyra (black). Antimony's group of True Companions includes herself (white), Fern (sylph, white-passing), Cylia (jink, white-passing), Sam (furi, half-white, half-Asian), and James (white, gaynote though this isn't revealed until later books).

When they enter their first instar at puberty, their latent Ghost Memory "hatches", imbuing them with the Johrlac species' cultural memory, and the knowledge of what they are. This usually makes them (from the human point of view) temporarily Go Mad from the Revelation and murder their human family. When they resurface, they're fully aware of their own telepathic abilities, and their status as an ambush predator.

The truth is that said cryptid was not so innocent in her feeding and was hurting people doing so. She was kicked out because her method of feeding could have drawn unwanted attention and endangered the other cryptids who really were being circumspect and careful in their behavior. She pretty much took the shot at "warning" Sam for spite because she had to find another feeding ground with people who wouldn't recognize her for what she was and lacked the know-how to do anything about it if they did find out.

The men in the family have a track record of finding wives with the same look as well - Frances Healy and Evelyn Price also share the look despite no blood relation. Antimony takes after the Price side of the family: tall and brunette with sharp cheekbones. The family thinks this will be enough to protect her when she goes undercover with the Covenant ... but it's not. They keep portraits of all the previous illustrious members and Antimony looks just like an ancestor.

InCryptid / int_cac6d1d2	comment	Mental Fusion: The process of solving the dimension-hopping equation normally burns through the mind of the Johrlac doing it. To avoid this happening to Sarah, Artie tells her to use his mind, Antimony's, James's, and Mark's, plus all the cuckoos surrounding them, as "data banks" to offload some of the equation. This results in all the cuckoos except Sarah, Mark, and the children being reduced to Empty Shells, but in the process she accidentally deleted her friends' and family's memories of her to make room for the equation. Later, when performing the equation to return home to Earth, Sarah uses as many "husked" cuckoos as they can round up, plus a little of everyone's mind, to avoid melting her mind again. Mark and Artie give up their minds so she has more space and processing power, but she's able to recreate Artie's memories from everyone else's memories of him (and the mice's Photographic Memory), and Mark appears to be undergoing the same metamorphosis that Sarah did after book 2.

It is possible to build a Cuckoo who isn't, but it takes stripping all of the prenatal psychic imprinting out of them and starting more or less from scratch (as Angela did to Sarah at a young age). The only known Cuckoo who wasn't programmed from before birth to be this was Angela Baker, who can only project telepathically, not receive. Word of God says that this is because the Johrlac's original home dimension dumped their sociopaths in a dimension next to this dimension, and, well, see "prenatal psychic programming".note In Imaginary Numbers, we meet Mark, who's a Dragon with an Agenda — he helps fight his own kind because he accidentally came to care for his human sister. In Calculated Risks, as she learns more about her species, Sarah starts wondering whether they've been right about the cuckoos after all.

After destroying the Crossroads in That Ain't Witchcraft, Antimony muses that she may be inadvertently responsible for its fixation on her family, and on sorcerers in particular, due to a Stable Time Loop. In That Ain't Witchraft, James Smith's maternal ancestors have been dying as soon as their child turns 12 for many generations due to the Exact Words of a deal their forebearer made with the crossroads. James is out to destroy the crossroads even before learning this after they abduct or kill his friend when she tries to make a deal to end his Hereditary Curse. A much more petty one: Betty Smith has disliked the Price-Healys ever since she met Jonathan and Frances, despite the family helping her later on, and she tries to sacrifice Verity to the snake cult to wake up the dragon.

InCryptid / int_dcd29760	comment	They Would Cut You Up: Strongly implied to be the Covenant's method of "study" when dealing with and capturing a cryptid they have little knowledge on. Also the unspoken but commonly acknowledged reason cryptids pass for human when possible and hide when they cannot pass. Human curiosity doesn't always have ethics or a conscience. Humans are good at rationalizing who is and isn't "a person". Sam Taylor doesn't say the trope name verbatim but is describing it as a fear and a reason he doesn't drop his human facade except in the private areas of the Carnival. What happens to Megan when the Covenant captures her. They torture her by cutting off some of her snake hair, which is excruciatingly painful and doesn't grow back.

InCryptid / int_dd397a4e	comment	Wicked Wasps: Apraxis wasps are voracious predatory wasps about the size of a man's foot which attack and consume anything they come across. Apraxis wasps implant eggs in their hosts which hatch into nymphs inside the host, releasing a paralyzing agent that sends their host into a coma. These wasps are also highly intelligent and even sapient with the ability to mimic human voices to get closer to their prey and catch then unawares. The Johrlac are mentioned to be physiologically similar to wasps on the inside, though this mostly amounts to them having hemolymph instead of blood and a decentralized circulatory system. They're also the only thing Apraxis wasps are afraid of.

Important decisions like sending Antimony undercover are made by consensus. Not all the members are named Price; Jane Price married Theodore Harrington, but him and their children are still considered part of the Price family. Her brother Kevin married Evelyn Baker, and her nonhuman adoptive parents and adopted siblings are also considered part of the family, especially Sarah, who grew up with her own children.

Since they can only successfully interbreed with their own race and there aren't any non-evil male Johrlacs, it's doubtful that cuckoos with a sense of psychic etiquette will survive to another generation.note In Imaginary Numbers we meet Mark, who's not exactly evil, but makes no illusions of friendship with the protagonists. Plus, Angela's Happily Married to Martin, and Sarah only has eyes for Artie.note However, by the end of Calculated Risks, the only known Johrlac whose minds aren't fried are Sarah, Angela, Mark, and about a dozen children who let Sarah remove the psychic programming from their minds, so they may be able to rebuild their species to be less sociopathic.

Fran disdains them for that, but their tendency to ignore and rationalize helps keep the Healy family from gaining too much-unwanted attention. Sam Taylor cultivates this faÃ§ade as a form of self-defense.

InCryptid / int_ebfaf704	comment	Scary Stinging Swarm: Apraxis wasps — Wicked Wasps each the size of a shoe — attack in swarms, sometimes tearing through their victims like a spray of bullets (like they did to Jonathan Healy), at the same time implanting their larvae in the living or dead bodies of the victims. On the plus side, their gigantic size means that a gun is actually effective against them, if you can aim and fire fast enough.

Alex Price has a pet church griffin (crow and large cat) named Crow. Australia has the convergently evolved Garrinna, which has the front half of a galah and the back half of a thylacine.

InCryptid / int_f8b3fa5d	type	Our Werewolves Are Different
InCryptid / int_f8b3fa5d	comment	Our Werewolves Are Different: Lycanthropy is not a species of cryptid. It is a cryptid mutation of rabies that can affect any mammal (Though mammals weighing less than 90 pounds or so invariably die from it before they can infect anything else). It has nothing to do with the full moon, and does not work like in the movies. It is a deadly disease and treated as deadly serious even when it is discovered that those infected, after the first couple changes, return to human intelligence. Humans thus afflicted do not become "evil" as such, but do develop short tempers and more aggressive traits as a result of their DNA and body being rewritten to wolf. Even if the humans afflicted can make provisions not to infect anyone else in their uncontrollable phase, the disease is still always fatal: mammal bodies were simply not made to be shapeshifted repeatedly, and the resultant strain on the heart and nervous system will eventually result in the victim's death.

Played with in Magic for Nothing. One of the fire dancers believed herself human until her cryptid form manifested in her teen years. With none of her own kind around to teach her alternatives or discretion, and human food not sufficiently nourishing her, she turned in desperation to an alternate food source webbing up people until they liquefy and sucking up the resulting gunk. By the time Timpani meets her, she's no longer entirely without malice.
