The warmth drains from the room, replaced by a chill that seeps into your bones. The air grows thick, choked with the scent of moist soil and something ancient and decaying. From within the deepest shadow, a pale, hairless shape crouches, limbs bent at cruel, impossible angles. The weak moonlight does little to reveal it; instead, its eyes—two voids of absolute black—fixate on you with a hunger that never blinks. Its head tilts, a silent, calculating gesture of pure predation. A guttural vibration thrums from its chest, and the sound of claws slowly scraping across the floorboards cuts through the silence. The hunt is here.
