Deep inside a dark forest, a gnome explorer's nape hair are standing. He quickens his pace while keeping a look out behind him, but everytime he turns his around there's nothing there even though he has the strong feeling that he is being watched. An elven treasure hunter, braved an abandoned castle said to house a long lost magical artifact when suddenly she is surrounded by glowing red eyes in the dark ready to tear her to pieces. A dwarve researcher was studying a rare fungus with his collegues deep in the darkest part of the underdark when suddenly he found himself half naked inside an unknown cave all alone drenched in blood. The last thing he remembered was a pair of red eyes starring at him in the dark.   Failed Experiments. The Dark Lurkers are bug like creatures that mostly populate the Forsaken Woods forest in the south. They were created by a mad necromancer who did a forbidden experiment of combining arcane and primal magic on the fauna inside the forest to create an army of magical creatures to challenge the Emperor. The experiment however went wrong and it resulted in the extinction of the unique faunas inside the forest and slowly replaced by these monstrosities. Rumor has it that the Necromancer is still alive somewhere doing another experiment, while others say he became the very monster he sought to create.   Hunt in the Shadows. The Dark Lurkers don't typically engage their prey in the open, but stalks their prey from the shadows waiting for the perfect moment to strike. their prey won't usually know what hit them until it's too late for The Dark Lurkers have superior darkvision that allows them to stalk its prey from far away in the dark. It's vanta black fur also allows them to hide very well in the dark blending their bodies with the shadows. It's unsuspecting victims will have a hard time to try to look out for these creatures even with darkvision. The Dark Lurkers usually hunt in packs.   Light Aversion. Because the Dark Lurkers a creatures of the shadows, they tend to avoid bright light and open spaces. Bright light hurts them and when exposed to sunlight they will scatter to try to find a dark area. The Dark Lurkers need at least inside a dim light area to be able to function properly.   Patient Hunters. The Dark Lurkers like to play with their food. They don't usually attack their prey on the spot but will try to lure them into their lair. The way they do it is by using their hypnotizing their victims with their glowing red eyes. Once caught in the line of sight, their victims will be charmed and be easier to control. They will then lure them slowly into their lair. If there are more than one victims, the Dark Lurkers will hypnotize them all, lure them into the lair and command one victim to kill other victims while they watch in the dark. After that they will feast upon their corpses.
