MAZER - TIMELINE #552081793604
🕑 Added 2024-05-14 16:25:05 +0000 UTC(Timeline Tuesday #146)
Mazers are a unique species from a distant timeline that defy the typical fauna categorizations of our reality. These creatures hail from a two-dimensional world, and are impossibly flat. When viewed perfectly from the side, a mazer would seem to disappear completely, and it is fortunate their animalistic thought processes do not allow them to take full advantage of this phenomenon. In other words, they appear unaware of this enormous advantage.
These creatures are an ever-shifting mass of geometric mazes, which will often contort into the approximation of two distinct limbs. They use these limbs to interact with the world around them. The creatures also have three distinct maze sections located in the central portion of their body. Two of these sections create an enclosed spiral pattern, and it is believed these portions of a mazer act as eyes. The final enclosed section is a four by six grid, which is capable of vibrating at incredible speeds. If a mazer places this grid against an object it can easily tear through it, much like another creature would use its teeth. This is how the mazer consumes its prey. Mazers are light blue in coloration, except for the enclosed sections, which are yellow.
Mazers are predatory carnivores and are incredibly dangerous. It is unknown how they arrive on this timeline, but tend to appear in places with a high amount of complexity. Their arrival is almost exclusively linked to large, bustling cities where billions of timelines are crossing at any moment. Because of their two-dimensional nature, the biology of mazers is not entirely understood and they are difficult to harm or capture. As such, most metropolitan areas rely on a Two-Dimensional Timeline Incursion Departments for specialty intervention when mazers are involved.
