Essence ofNot Getting Eaten

By imbibing this Essence (very loosely based on Only I Am Not Attacked in a World Overflowing With Zombies), you gain the following:

• You will never be targeted by any predatory beings, whether that be human, monster, or something else even stranger. This will not save you from someone properly enforcing the law on you or something like that though. Basically, if you can imagine it being the threat in a horror or action-thriller series then this Essence will apply.

• For the most part, it will be as if you are not even there to the predators. You could make a bunch of noise right behind them and they will not even turn around to confirm the source. You could slowly lead them around by hand to move them about, though creatures with intelligence might wander off after you let go. Intelligent predators might selectively be able to converse with you, but will never become hostile to you and will not find this odd.

• If they find valid prey, they will subconsciously maneuver around you and prevent their actions from harming you. Still, watch out for the predators' momentum if they are especially motivated to pursue their targets and you are already holding onto the former. Furthermore, while this does not provided any benefits to others per se, predators will also always avoid area of effect actions that would negatively impact you. This manifests as an inexplicable overpowering urge even if they could not possibly know you were there.
