A Liminal Other is a creature that has been super-positioned so that it has the possibility to exist if certain conditions are met, such as saying a name in a mirror enough times.<ref name="LD168">[Avery] crossed to the parking lot, and she began whistling.
The Car Song reached out to her. It was the sort of Other that existed in a liminal space, present but not present in reality, until called or given reason to act on the world.
Which meant, basically, it reacted quickly to summons. There were bogeymen who were the same way, only attacking if their name was repeated a few times in the mirror. - Excerpt from Left in the Dust 16.8</ref> This may involve specific summoning to place them in this state.<ref name=fam/>
As with nearly anything they can be taken as Familiars<ref name=fam/>
