So here goes: - A Sadako-esque monster dragging some poor soul through the screen of their monitor.

13. a soul stealing monster

I wanted to draw her in the process of dragging someone, but was running low on time and redesigned her like 3 times because I didn't like how it turned out... But I do still have this :3

Static is created whenever a television or radio receives radio signals while not being attuned to a particular frequency or channel that is broadcasting. Instead it intercepts signals from all over the world. Manmade sources, natural electromagnetism of the world, and electric signals from space all make up this static. The human brain is made up of electromagnetic charges and pulses as well that dictate thought and activity. 

Ever since the conception of the radio, we've occasionally intercepted strange radio signals, or heard things in the static. Random snippets of sound, distorted voices, or mysterious whistling and scratching sounds that seem to resonate from the aether. Beeps and chirps from beyond space and time. Though even the snippets of voices tend to be nothing but auditory pareidolia, on occasion people have reported hearing full sentences, their name, screams, growls, or threats. Once television was invented these sounds were occasionally given form as the dancing monochromatic bits would waver and wriggle into shapes. 

While most of the time it's nothing, there are things that lurk beyond. That live deep inside of those radio waves dancing about through the cosmos. Remnants of human thought and electromagnetism smashed together with alien consciousness, and the resonant sounds of the void. These creatures have no true name, but collectively they are all known as the static.

The static take many forms. resonant sounds given life. Moving silhouettes of white noise, strange television shows that don't exist, normal humanoid entities with the scanlines of a VCR or warped coloration, or broadcasts from another time, another place. Our static discharges disperse from our minds at death and intertwine with these energies and the heaviest, most visceral emotions remain. While most are stuck within this realm of static, some can find a way out. Through weak barriers in the dimensions, nexus points, or even from making a bridge by someone on the other side making contact. The television is used as a conduit for the static, and though it may be trapped in the television like a prision, some of the more powerful ones can draw people into the white noise, or even pull themselves out. 

When they emerge their forms are hideous, inhuman, cursed. Their flesh pale and white, their eyes bloodshot and their extremities black with death. Their forms are an amalgam of memories and fears tied together in a screaming, shambling package. Here is what is known as a Static Spider, or a Static Specter. The head of a human, distorted and with white noise dancing through it's eyes, a maw filled with razor teeth, and a body made of shapeless lumps that tapers into long, multi-jointed arms tipped with blackened claws. An aura of static emerges with them, dripping like a liquid and puffing out like a vapor as the sounds of distorted voices and white noise follow them wherever they appear. 

The Static will attack any living creatures they find, and due to their manipulation of electromagnetism, they can appear invisible to people while focusing on one person in particular, appearing as a hallucination to them. They will tear into them, and as they do a stinging electrical current will course through their body, scrambling their thoughts and replacing them with the nightmarish and painful hell that the static live. The electricity is drained from the creature's body and they begin to swiftly suffer brain death and organ failure. The opposite can be the case as well, and being near or touching the creature can cause intense electrical shocks. The static disconnects and your lifeforce drains as they seem to consume your essence, your soul. 

Some may haunt you for a long period, feeding on you and ruining your mind as they drain you of memories and activity. While others will hypnotize creatures from the screen and draw them in, before pulling them into the static whenever they make a proper connection. 

Inside the white noise seems to be it's own dimension stuck between radio waves. A dimension with no feeling, no taste, no smell, of only sound and sight. Some creatures have been dragged into the static and found their way out, and others have left with more power than they began with or have even possessed electronic objects and toys to escape the beings within and to avoid the static. But some of them become the static themselves, and in their attempts to escape they just try to drag others into the noise with them....
