At a softball game, she suddenly went ballistic and seriously injured a kid by beating him with a baseball bat.]] Unlike the above example, this is not PlayedForLaughs.

A group of townspeople who discovered a mysterious being dwelling in the mines. Said being, the Black Goat, demands sacrifices or it will strike the town with disasters and eventually cause the surrounding area to dry up, with the town fading away in the end.

* TheDragon: Edie, the cultist that has been seen several times throughout the game. He or she has the power to walk through walls, and appears to be the one doing the kidnapping.
