Profile

“The paths within the Hollows are complex, but one thing’s for sure, when it appears at the end of the road, that path is a ‘dead end.’"

Unlike other highly dangerous Ethereals, the Ether within the Dead End Butcher’s body often remains in a low-activity dormant state. Nevertheless, it possesses immense brute strength capable of demolishing any obstacle, and the entire twisted and ravaged metro zone serves as its off-limits kitchen. Only when a threatening target piques its interest will a horrifying transformation take place… Within moments, the high concentration of Ether stored in its body undergoes a violent transformation and the exponentially surging energy prompts its limbs to quickly distort, assuming a more brutal and voracious “feeding stance.” The time for “appetizers” is over, and an unparalleled “feast” is about to begin. Anyone who doesn’t want to be part of this feast should be extremely cautious in choosing their route, and stay away from its “kitchen” at all costs. “The paths within the Hollows are complex, but one thing’s for sure, when it appears at the end of the road, that path is a ‘dead end.’’ —Hollow Investigative Association’s 17th Dead End Hollow Investigation
