{{quote|''"It’s kinda like an [[Anthropomorphic Personification|embodiment of the fear of being discovered]].... [[Dissimile|Only not really]], more like a [[Eldritch Abomination|creature which existed prior to the fear]] but grew as that fear gathered around it.... But it also didn't really exist, more like it potentially existed... But looking at it from a [[Timey-Wimey Ball|nonlinear perspective]], it still had physical presence in [[The Multiverse]] all along the various spacetime lines... Ah, screw it. It's all [[Buffy-Speak|eldritch shit and nonsense]]."''|I-330, ''[http://mephirevolution.blogspot.com/ Mephi]''}}

 

=== The Slender Man ===

 

* [[Black Eyes of Evil]]

** Hidden in the Trees also plays him as this

* [[Genius Bruiser]]

** Perhaps the most common name EAT goes by is "Ichor." It's referred to by that name at least just as much, if not more often, than it is referred to as "EAT." Interestingly, according to at least one Camper in ''Hidden in the Trees'', it actually likes the name EAT.

* [[Keeper of Forbidden Knowledge]]: "I'm a being of knowledge." EAT knows many things humans should not, and in the Rapture Logs, some of this information is shared.

* [[Line-of-Sight Name]]: Sam in ''Jordan Eats Normally Now'' named EAT from essentially random song titles.

* [[Murder Water]]

The fear of disease and contagion - the Plague Doctor wears a [[wikipedia:File:Doktorschnabel 430px.jpg|beak-nosed mask]] (if it is a mask) and long coat. Sometimes, his presence will manifest as a mental disorder or hypochondria.

 

* [[Not a Mask]] (the mask might actually be his face)

* [[Plaguemaster]]: He spreads disease just by his very ''presence''. As if that wasn't enough, there are also a number of doctors who serve him, intentionally using contaminated surgical equipment or slipping pathogens into their patients' medication...

{{quote|''Thousands of bugs from hundreds of species crawled about the walls and floor. They crawled up her bed in a grotesque mob, a sea of limbs and carapaces.''}}

 

 

* [[Body Horror]]: The Intrusion's MO is to crawl inside of people and lay eggs within their bodies. When the eggs hatch, the newborn bugs will then proceed to ''eat their way out.''

* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: Her victims can end up seeming like this

* [[Creepy Child]]: How those not being targeted tend to see her. Her victims don't notice the creepiness though.

* [[Silent Antagonist]]

* [[The Unfavorite]]: If the victim has any kids of his or her own, then those kids will likely be neglected as the Child becomes more and more important to the parent

* [[The Danza]]

* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: And he ''won't shut up about it!''

* [[Dumbass DJ]]: ''[[Incredibly Lame Pun|Averted!]]''

* [[First-Person Smartass]]

** [[Nice Hat]]: A trilby,

** [[Badass Longcoat]]: A slendercoat,

** [[Scarf of Asskicking]]: And a purple scarf.

* [[The Storyteller]]

=== Kobalos ===

* [[Knife Nut]]: Her other weapon of choice, specifically a buck knife. {{spoiler|She even uses it to kill Jack of Thorns.}}

=== Amy ===

 

* [[Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?]]
