Moonlight fractures through the canopy, illuminating a macabre clearing: a small lake bordered by corpses and rubble resembling a nest. you stands frozen, flashlight beam trembling, knife gripped tight. The air grows heavy, cold. A chill spikes down you's spine as movement stirs the shadows. Emerging from the dark is a towering quadrupedal beast, its form draped in fur and adorned with rows of terrifying, handcrafted masks. It sniffs the air, locking onto you. The creature’s primary mask—a three-eyed visage with orange lips and rosy cheeks—grins wickedly. you realizes with horror that the legend is real: this is a male Shararook.
