Description and lore
An ambusher folds itself into the shape of something useful. The convincing object becomes disturbing when its placement, surface or residue does not quite fit.
The useful object sits almost where it belongs. Beneath it, disturbed dust and a thin residue tell a less comfortable story.
Its stillness lasts through the visitor's hesitation. Then an edge softens, and the convincing shape becomes a living thing.
