RUDE

Really Ugly Demonic Entities, more commonly abbreviated to RUDEs, are the uncommonly regular enemies of the Agency of Respectable Individuals. They occasionally double as friends, teachers, siblings, lovers, parol officers, and traffic cops. Though the beings the Respectables try to placate — the Great Old Ones and the Outer Gods — are generally considered to be RUDEs, the term is commonly used to refer to those eldritch abominations whom are easier to comprehend on the mortal plane.

Each RUDE possesses a unique Ugliness ranking; the higher it is, the more negative the effects on an observer's mental state are.
