Description

The Cloaked Mask is a monstrosity unlike any other as its semblance of understanding has to lead it to survive in the darkness of caves and areas which harbor no light. this creature usually wears a distinguishing mask however the rest of its body moves as if it has no ligaments or bones, under a massive dark shifting cloak. That is until you realize that the bones it does have are used only in attack creatures that it deems hostile to its own survival. The Cloaked Mask is one that ambushes its prey, but one that fights with ferocity to the point of almost self-destruction if not to escape from whatever has brought it close to death. The Cloaked mask also uses the shadows to send forth spines that piercing its prey and enemies, but when backed into a corner it will unleash all that it has in a movement of almost dancing-like passion to a number of foes within its spines reach.
