The glitch is a rare creature, mostly found in computer programs. When a glitch is found in real life, you must wonder about how real that "real life" actually is. They are beings of pure chaos, unable to discern ally from foe, and therefore attack just about anyone and anything that gets in its way. It can't understand reason and doesn't understand any from of emotion. It's ferocious the only thing that can make it calm is destroying it completely. When the glitch is killed, it will revive itself after a week in another part of the world. |
