Servants of the Placeholder Gods, these beings live off of the anger created when one is booted out of a chat. Though many scholars attest that it is these monstrosities that hunt down weak internet connections too.
Of course they haven’t always been able to gain nutrition from this. There was once a day when they hunted in packs for lone messengers and carrier pigeons. And after that they snuck into mail bags or sated their thirst by gnawing through telegraph lines.
But though most everyone living has been attacked by one of these fiends, almost no one has actually seen one. The account of a rider for the Pony Express tells of a brightly colored beast, maybe 4 hands high, leaping out of a bush and knocking him off of his horse. When the kid had managed to get up, the thing had run off with his mochila and was easily 75 yards away and running.
More recent accounts say that the thing has a mixed genetic background; at least one half teletubby, half gremlin, and no less than a third sun eating, Cthulhoid monster. None of the attempts to quell this menace have succeeded, mainly through a lack of motivation by the hunters.

Creatures of magic infecting the world of technology... breaking it down slowly, our reality will be eroded as electronic communication falls to nothing.
Let me explain I said. Do imagine a world of magic whos ruler covets our reality for some reason. Perhaps we have a resource they need, perhaps they just need space or souls not touched by their gods. How do conquer us?
Sending over a giant monster? Nah, we could deal with that.. just check out the movies
Smaller monsters? Nah. Anything we can fight, we can destroy.
Magical Bugs. We could start with pesticides and go from there. If we didnt care about the environmental issues (compared to species survival) any bug could be made to go away.
WE know about demons and possessions, so while it would be something we were not expecting, it is in our bag of tricks. A little proof and exorcisms would become common place.
If they studied us for any bit of time, they would learn a basic truth, what is in science fiction can be eventually in science reality. That and some clever applications of existing tech could take out any threat.
So where does that leave the Evil Magical Mastermind? The only option is attacking in a way that we don't expect AND might actually be 100% natural. I would use our technological strength against us.
Weather magic is an option. That would just galvanize us to hide or create weather technology to counter it.
Our strength is our knowledge and coordination. So by disrupting our communication subtly, they can slowly destroy us and we would not realize it was happening.
Aside: Holy crap. Their invasion is already happening! MoonHunter nods. *runs around screaming*
It is subtle, quiet, and focused, directed at those who happen to be the most
creative and open to the thought of their existence.
It is untraceable. Once their numbers reach a critial level, the telecom world will crash.
We're doomed. Doomed! Doooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo- *breathes*
-ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooomed!
Once we can't communicate, we can't transfer big science information easily. Oonce we are isolated from each other, you can bring over more obvious creatures to take us out. Start with some quiet places first. Then after some success... take the military out. After all, most monsters will be vunerable to simple kinetic reallignement.
Strangely enough the computer savvy Wicca community might have saved us before anything happens. As their prayer charms against lag and thus gremils
have probably stemmed the tide of gremil cross over.
The computer community itself now has time to design server blades that are faster and self correcting.. thus less likely to create the gaps in time that allow gremils through
Thus the world is safe from an invasion it wasn't even
aware of.
