Wildlife of Oakmont
[General info; paragraph about history; etc.)

Wylebeasts
Wylebeasts, also known as "wyles," are the monstrous creatures found roaming Oakmont. They are hostile and deal both physical and psychic damage, and are attracted to corpses and blood, which they feast on. Large swarms of wyles can be found in Infected Areas and barricaded spaces marked with a V-shaped hobo sign.

Stygian
(Pronounced "STIH-jee-in") The Stygians are smaller wyles which have multiple limbs full of human-like palms. They are resistant to poisons and acids.

Only one breed, the Stygian Harvester, is aggressive. It has a claw-like stinger that can cause grievous wounds. The rarest breed of Stygians is the Smoker. it emits huge amounts of fumes, then lurks among them. The Stygian Weaver is capable of restoring the tissues of other wylebeasts, effectively acting as a healer.[1]



Lethian
(Pronounced "LEE-thee-in") The Lethians' forms resemble humans. There are multiple pathogens which cause these mutations in human victims, as evidenced by numerous autopsies. Their bulb-like colonies act like additional hearts, ensuring the flow of lymphatic fluids, filled with bacteria. The fluid is gathered in the former human's stomach, and may then be expelled by the Lethians with an immense force, similar to projectile vomiting. There are three types of Lethians, with the Revenant being the most common. The less-studied Immortals have rapid regeneration, and there are reports about Wraiths that "disappeared."[2] Wraiths fade in and out of existence in bluish tones, and can be seen via your Mind's Eye.

Communion Road Horror
When searching for the Necronomicon during the Mystic Tomes case, Charles encounters a huge wylebeast guarding it, which hid itself at first as a woman reaching for help on top of a car. As Charles approaches, it reveals itself as a bundle of corpses, similarly to the Acheronian, but of a beige color with two large appendages on which it walks.

Its animation can be found here (George Boitsov, Artstation).

Fecund Mother
(Pronounced "FEE-cund MU-thur")

The Fecund Mother takes the form of a giant dark maw that can spit explosive spheres.
