The Argalyle

The Argalyle is a large humanoid figure standing between six foot three and six foot eight inches tall. It is always sported wearing a gas mask over it's face and a cloak around it's shoulders, concealing the rest of the body.

The Argalyle was first spotted on September 23rd 1997 by a supposed Eleameno survivor James Orwell in Aberdeen, Washington. James described the creature as "Big. Just so big. It just loomed around, following me everywhere I went. It never fucking left me alone since the moment I had first seen that thing." James eventually named the creature The Argalyle and spoke of his experience in what he called "The Lost Realm".

Most people treated James' tales as simple campfire stories, which angered him greatly. He had been working on a novel "The Lost Realm" when constant criticism of his work drove him over the deep end. During a book reading, he brandished a GLOCK 19 and began firing upon the crowd, eventually pulling the trigger on himself. Nobody died but himself. That was December 24th 1997.

Before James' death he spoke heavily of The Argalyle. He believed it to be the ringmaster of Eleameno. He spoke of how the other creatures seemed loyal towards The Argalyle, and although The Argalyle can not speak, it could somehow communicate with the other creatures.

On October 19 2003, an anonymous Eleameno survivor had an interview with Aberdeen's 94.6 KOUGAR AM Radio station. She spoke of her time in Eleameno, as well as her exposure to The Argalyle. During the interview, she acknowledged the works of both James Orwell and Arthur Rory. The following is an excerpt of the interview:

"This thing, The Argalyle. James isn't wrong. It has a power behind everything that goes on there. Every other being there bows to it's power, and you must too if you plan to survive for any longer than a day. It can't be stopped, and it will find you."

Although The Argalyle appears to be feared among survivors, it has never been recorded to cause any physical damage, or even approach people within twenty feet. It appears to be benign, but it's large stature and unknown abilities gives off a frightening presence.
