[CASE STUDY: Hashani Baliff}

The following case study has been not been approved by anyone because I don't require permission to make public posts.

Subject: Gurklukke Vorondil
Age: 35
Weight: Heavier than a bread basket
Sex: Male

Male subject made anticipated posting upon these newsboards detailing the information gathered via predatory 'stalking' his 'subject' Toby Treacletart. Post appeared to be written in Tsol'teth cadence: Minor broken Achaean. Interrupted flow. Linguistic sample submitted for further examination. Attempt made at parodying it in this report to demonstrate these inconsistencies with Hashani language.

Returned to the embrace of Nature by one of our savages [unredacted]. Nothing of import was discovered upon inspection of the rotted corpse prior to humane burial.

[A crude drawing of a male Xoran fills the page. Some parts of his countenance are greatly exaggerated while others notably minimized, pursuant to the skewed interpretation of the observer.]

Upon receipt of the public post, it was acknowledged that very little actual interaction with the subject's subject had taken place. Repeated attempts to aid the Niena'yumap were noted prior to these observances. All proved fruitless. Possible instability.

Repeated cycles of such behaviour further denote instability.

[Unredacted]

Observance of prior attacks was considered. The use of guardian protectors and keen sense of mortality and loss felt at their detriment was of particular interest, but a lack of historical record of the number slain and resulting behaviours renders further inspection inconsequential.

[Unredcated}

Flocking behaviours were witnessed. The collective motion was repeated regularly as if little original thought was present in the action. Possible instinctual behaviour derived from swarm mentality or parasitic intervention.

Distinctive parallels are observed with the shoaling behaviour of salmon, insects and some land animals, but with fewer genuine correlations toward genuine dynamic efficiency.

Due to the "oddity effect" the aforementioend subject has shown a willingness to purposefully stand out preferentially and may be targetted by potential predators. Newcomers should avoid him and the city of Hashan due to the high risk of parasite-manipulation.
