Umbral Stalker,

The creature, known as the Umbral Stalker, emerges from the depths of the darkest forests. Towering at twelve feet tall, it has a sinewy, emaciated frame covered in patchy, matted fur that seems to absorb light. Its limbs are unnaturally long, ending in razor-sharp claws that glint ominously even in the faintest light. The Stalker's eyes are hollow voids, yet they exude a malevolent intelligence that chills to the bone. Its mouth, filled with rows of needle-like teeth, can stretch impossibly wide, emitting a low, guttural growl that echoes through the night. This monster moves with eerie silence, slipping between shadows, preying on those who wander too far from safety. Whispers among the locals say it feeds not just on flesh, but on fear itself, growing stronger with every terrified heartbeat it invokes.
