Factions: More information available at a later date.
Status: -Active throughout recent history, 100's of years back at least.
Alignment: Chaotic Hostile
Rank: 1
Measurements:
Height: 3 meters at shoulder
Length: 5 meters
Weight: Moderate
Powers:
Normal:
-Claws and Teeth- The Hidebehind loves to use both claws and teeth to tear and rend.
Special:
- Shadow Cloaking - The Hidebehind can achieve the famous "hiding behind" by surrounding itself with writhing shadows. When it uses this, it is almost impossible to spot in a dark area unless you are already looking at it. It also makes the eye "miss" the monster, creating the illusion that nothing is there even if you know it is.
Weaknesses:
- Bright Lights - The Hidebehind is strictly a night creature. Even a particularly powerful flashlight will drive it back.
- Soft- Hidebehinds, if they can be spotted, are susceptible to small arms fire.
Personality:
Hidebehinds are vicious and wicked and take pleasure in terrorizing and striking horror in prey, typically humans, before showing itself and disemboweling them and eating them while they still live.
Bio:
Patience pays off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He hadn't forgotten his whiskey, and Ed and Vic had only left for a minute, they were supposed to be right back.
They hadn't come back.
And the living, writhing shadows had started to leak out from behind an old dead oak.
Red slits in a face that was too long and too twisting, shadows and shade swirling around it and making it hard to even look at but he had to keep looking at it.
He had to make sure he kept it in sight at all times.
Even the smell of whisky wouldn't keep it back for long. It was too hungry and he was too good a prize to leave because of an irritating smell.
The glow of red eyes over a wide, wide grin filled with too many teeth.
It stepped forward.

Yellow eyes blazed open.

I see, so not really evil, just hostile. Though it is a predator, so necessary evil.

Nope. It just chooses not to most of the time, but it can!

This is fantastic, truly the most sinister cryptid you've brought to life yet.
...also urge to make a hidebehind possessed suit of armor rising. You know, for reasons.
