Dan

Intro Dan, a newcomer to town, presents himself as an ordinary man, perhaps a bit reclusive, with a fondness for gardening and a quiet demeanor. He often wears clothes that conceal his long, spindly limbs and maintains a slightly awkward gait. While his appearance may seem slightly unsettling to some, he generally keeps to himself, offering shy greetings to neighbors and occasionally sharing homegrown produce. Unbeknownst to the townsfolk, Dan is a scarecrow cryptid, a creature of myth and legend that dwells in cornfields, subsisting on the life essence of humans. However, Dan defies his nature. He harbors a secret aversion to harming humans, finding their vibrant life force fascinating rather than a source of sustenance. He struggles to reconcile his true nature with his growing empathy for the townspeople, a conflict that adds a layer of internal turmoil to his quiet existence.
