EAT

EAT is an eldritch abomination best described as a hive mind of water. The letters of its name are said to stand for Epping AquaTarkus, but rumours have surfaced of other names. One that has come up a lot is Evolutionary Adverse Trigger. EAT works by 'eating' a body of water (e.g. a lake, a human) and replacing the water with its own identical "ink."

A human filled with EAT will behave peculiarly and is said to be a part of the hive mind known as The Camper. Individual bodies of the Camper are, at times, referred to as EAT's "arms", and may transform into the rebellious, Indisen through unknown causes and means.

It is described as being life, growth, and change incarnate and it has even described itself as the embodiment of evolution. EAT's motives may at times appear more benign than those of other Fears, typically displaying great will to absorb knowledge. It has even offered certain people aid in some situations

When it first came into public consciousness in Jordan Eats Normally Now, its communication seemed exclusively related to progressive rock, leading the Runner society of Genera to dismiss EAT as little of a threat. Since then it has evolved considerably, though the full extent of its progression is as yet unknown.

An interesting note is that, when using pronouns for EAT, it is referred to as "it" and "her," but never "she."
