“Every time I go to sleep, I know I may never wake up. How could anyone expect to? You drop your tiny, helpless mind into a bottomless well, crossing your fingers and hoping when you pull it out on its flimsy fishing wire it hasn't been gnawed to bones by nameless beasts below.”

An Alp is a creature from Germanic folklore who resembles an elf. It comes to you in the night and twists your dreams into nightmares. In fact the German word for nightmare is Alptraum, the German word for dream is Traum...
The next creature in the balloon bestiary is an Alp Hund, these blind creatures use a psycho-cognitive ability to hunt and feast upon night terrors. Oftentimes they will follow an Alp on his nightly haunt anticipating a delicious and malevolent repast. It's tail is tipped with a vicious stinger that can paralyze a sleeper inside of the dream. If you have ever have a nightmare wherein your legs refuse to move and you feel trapped, keep your eyes shut tight - keep to the safety of the monsters in your imaginations.
