Description
A photo of a bulwark, Level 157. Photographer presumed dead.
Bulwarks are a now extinct entity that used to reside on Level 157, primarily in isolated rooms. They appeared (by some accounts) to be between 6 and 11 feet (1.8 - 3.4 meters) tall. Due to the dark nature of their habitat, they were entirely blind and relied on sound and touch to find resources, as they lacked noses. To compensate, they had an impeccable sense of hearing and an extremely long memory with which they could create mental maps with a radius of miles from their dens. Wanderers used to be able to tell they were in a Bulwark den by high amounts of trash, miscellaneous items, and sometimes the bodies of wanderers and/or entities.
Behaviors
Bulwarks scavenged through the vicinity of their settlement, in which they always lived alone, for trash, food, wanderers, entities, and other things to bring back to their stash. They would stash any items they find along with any prey they hunt along the way in their dens. Though it will never be known if Bulkwarks had to sleep, there has never been a sighting of one sleeping. Bulwarks were able to run very repidly but were easily distractable by throwing an object somewhere else. Every sighting of a Bulwark has been hundreds of miles away from the nearest other sighting. Upon finding its prey, a Bulwark would run it down and use its long fingernails to decapitate the victim, then bringing the body back to its stash.
Biology
Bulwarks were very tall humanoid figures appearing to wear black pants and shoes. They wore long jackets covering their torsos, necks, and arms up to their wrists. Their hands had white skin with long fingers and sharp fingernails. Their faces exhbited a mouth with very yellow and often rotting teeth and a long black tongue. They had two eyes but it's unknown if their eyes had any use to them as they are known to have been blind. Their eyes did, however, display small white dots in the center in the number of the total Bulwark population. Any remains of this entity found now will have completely black eyes.
Discovery
The Bulwark was first discovered on Level 157 by an unknown M.E.G. explorer. The explorer was on a mission to another level through Level 157 and accidentally came across a den. They did, however, take a photo (and have it synced to the M.E.G. database) before being slaughtered by the Bulwark.
