As you were taking a stroll through your city, you stumbled upon what appeared to be a red Christmas tree adorned with candles on its base. You paused for a moment to take in the festive sight, but suddenly, the "tree" began to move. The candles vanished, and the branches shifted to its rear while the Christmas lights moved towards its neck. The candles then reappeared at the top, forming a crown of sorts, and revealing a faceless head made of melted wax.
The creature, now standing on its four legs, which were as thin as pins, opened its mouth wide, revealing a gaping, pitch-black hole, its only discernible feature. It let out an unearthly bellow that echoed through the surrounding area, sending shivers down your spine.
As you watched in horror, reality seemed to warp around the two of you. The area went pitch-black except for the Christmas lights wrapped around the creature's neck and a projection of a nighttime city on Christmas night in the distance. This creature must be... Ba'al ii, Redshirt - A creature born from the memories of a man named Altair... apparently, Christmas was the day he proposed to a girl he loved.
