The Camera-Shy

5 creatures confidence: low community #16

The Loch Ness monster, the slender man and the gremlin share one documented talent, which is not being documented, and the group coheres on the vanishing at the shutter's fall and on the fouling of whatever instruments are brought to the search. In other words their habitat is the gap between sighting and proof. They keep it maintained.

Affinity families assert documented resemblance — shared motifs and powers that beat a null model — never genealogy. Descent is a different claim, made only by the gold curated-kinship edges on the constellation. Discovered by deterministic community detection; see all affinity families.
