THE CRAWLER'S COMPANIONpatch notes for the apocalypse

Cornet

also known as Red Cornet

First seen: Book 3, Chapter 5

A devolved, blinded offshoot of the Lepus, a widespread semi-intelligent species, per its own examine card: hunted to near extinction generations ago for a warlord's favorite dish, the survivors fled into permanent darkness and lost their sight, trading it over the generations for an echolocation attack that induces crippling nausea. Tall, skinless, eyeless, human-fingered creatures shaped like upright jackrabbits with oversized ears and a mouth full of teeth. Boards trains at Banshee Station in a steady, cyclical stream, apparently drawn to a dead-end tunnel nearby where empty vials litter the floor; Carl comes to suspect they're getting high there before boarding and coming down by the time they get off.
