Born from Marcus Chen, a recreational player who spent three sleepless nights trying to guard his campsite from imagined owl shadows. His exhaustion-addled mind began adopting the owls' patient hunting methods, leading him to stalk other players with disturbing focus during rounds. When other Pool B players found him motionless behind a tree for twenty minutes, watching them with unblinking eyes, the Lethargic Hunt had claimed its first vessel.

Manifests as a human figure moving with deliberate, energy-conserving slowness that belies an underlying predatory focus. Its movements are economical and calculated, never wasting motion, with an unsettling ability to remain perfectly still for extended periods. The entity retains human intelligence but filters all actions through the patient, methodical hunting instincts of nightmare owls, creating an eerie hybrid of exhausted human and apex predator.

Serves as both warning and catalyst for Pool B players, demonstrating how exhaustion can transform recreational competitors into something unnaturally patient and predatory. It influences events by creating moments where tired players exhibit disturbing hunting behaviors that unsettle teammates while making them more susceptible to the nightmare parliament's influence.
