Creatures of the Mist
These creatures are very rare and are not from this world. They appear sole in the Steven King book the mist. These creatures are hard to explain and are very deadly. Do not think that the thick mist is empty. Things are lurking inside it, things you may not want to meet. If ever there is a thick mist like no other ever seen before, you are in for so much trouble. If these creatures are in it you best be out of it.

So you want to Live?
If you value your life, you will not go outside. The mist is full of things you don't want to meet. You will want to stay away from windows if possible. A fortified location is the best. There will be noises and there will be things outside. If they can't figure out how to get in, or if they can't smell you then you're safe. Once they get in you have a problem on your hands. Most of the creatures in the mist can be killed like their Earthly counterparts. Nothing is immune to classic weapons.
What was that?
Things in the mist are kinda related to thing on Earth. The smallest of which are like flies, only the size of dogs. These flies have stingers which can kill a human very quickly. If you want to live after one of these are in, stay calm and still. They are attracted to light, so lights out for the night. The next biggest are the birds. These are no regular birds. About the size of a person, they hunt the flies in the area. These are strong animals and really should be left out side. To live with one if these around, run and find shelter against them. Then there are the spiders, these buggers are massive poisonous spiders that shoot web that is so acidic it burns skin. These spiders create webs around the victims and bite them. Filling their living body with their eggs to live in until they are ready to rip open the host. From this point on, sizes are unknown. Things are large enough and fast enough that shear size is not known. There is a creature which is like an over sized lobster with massive claws that easily grip people. The assumed bigger is the octopus type creature capable if exploding a bag of dog food like a pimple. Then the most massive is so large that it can't even be seen well enough to get a description.
Well, how do you kill it?
These creatures are killed in the movie form of the book along with the smallest being killed in the book also. Most of these creature are killed in simple ways. Bugs can be shot, burnt, stabbed or smashed if brave enough. Birds are shot and burnt. The spiders can be killed with any way possible, thing like shooting, stabbing, and burning. Other creatures are not known. The larger the creature, the larger the weapon needed to kill it. Tanks are a good option if they are available, if not my next best choice would be explosives. For the smaller creatures, fire seemed to be the choice of the military in the movie and I agree. Fire can cover many times the area of a single bullet while killing things more completely.
