Ideovores

Summary
Ideovores are what is presumably a species of entities who are not confined within traditional reality, but instead exist in what could loosely be defined as a world parallel to it. While it is completely unknown how they came to be or what exactly they are, those who are even aware of their existence have shoved it into the deepest recesses of their mind for fear of what could happen otherwise. While the overwhelming majority of beings will live their lives without even knowing such beings can exist, this does not stop Ideovores from being some of the most destructive, dangerous predatory entities there are.

While little is known about how exactly these beings cross from their world to reality, it seems to be in some way related to the mind. Even without being present, an Ideovore can somehow implant the idea of its existence in a victim's mind, essentially turning them into a vessel which can then act as a meal after fulfilling its original purpose. The following steps document the most common way Ideovores bring themselves into existence.

Step 1: The Unknown

Through unknown means, the Ideovore slips the otherwise unimaginable conceptual components of its being into the victim's mind. While these concepts initially lie dormant, they will become active during the second step.

Step 2: Questioning

Something triggers the victim's subconscious to begin conceptualizing something to explain the unknown. This could be something as unusual as a the victim believing they saw a ghost, to as simple as looking down a hallway at night and being unsure of what exactly waits in the darkness at the end. Whatever the trigger, the victim's subconscious will begin to put together the otherwise impossible mental components into the idea of the Ideovore, causing it to begin manifesting.

Step 3: Paranoia

The victim will begin to become unstable. Their vision will blur, they'll hear things that aren't actually there, and eventually begin to see the Ideovore for brief moments. This will only grow worse and worse as the Ideovore becomes more and more real, causing the victim to become immensely paranoid. Many times, they will begin to push away anyone who tries to contact them, secluding themselves from the rest of the world as their only companion becomes the horrific, otherworldly monstrosity they'll see out of the corner of their eye disturbingly frequently.

Step 4: Manifestation

The Ideovore fully manifests into a ghastly reality, devouring its host. The Ideovore does not need to physically consume the victim, as its mere touch is enough. After being touched by the Ideovore, the victim will cease to be on a conceptual level at all points in space-time, becoming something that never actually was or could be. Just like the Ideovore, they would become another impossibility.

Step 5: The Aftermath

While the Ideovore usually returns to not being a reality after finishing off its host, sometimes unknown circumstances will cause the Ideovore to remain real. Often times this will simply be enough for it to devour a few more victims, while other times the Ideovore remains for far longer, growing powerful enough in the real world to devour more and more widespread concepts. This can lead to the erasure of countless worlds, beings, and ideas.

While it is fully possible for an Ideovore manifest on nearly any layer of existence, making itself as real or as fake as it chooses, this will usually weaken it by varying amounts of severity, leading them to prefer the far easier alternative of entering reality through a host. This is due to the fact that an Ideovore that becomes too weak will eventually lose the ability to make itself a reality, becoming simply another part of the infinite expanse of things which cannot be.

Appearance
Ideovores have no set appearance, as this is simply not part of their conceptual composition when manifesting. As a result, victims will often visual an Ideovore as an offputting formless blob of writhing ideas, never remaining a single thing for even an instant. Occasionally, the Ideovore's visage will remain vaguely humanoid despite constantly shifting most aspects of their being. Strangely, there have been multiple instances of completely unrelated individuals referring to these types of Ideovores as "Static Angels" due to their grainy, constantly shifting, vaguely human visage. It is possible only certain Ideovores are capable of this, though the exact cause and reason behind it is unknown.
