Homebrew Fear Walker Species Details
These creatures are truly unholy nightmares, sent upon this world to punish us. I have seen a few myself, and that was a few too many for my mind to handle. You would be wise to run from these creatures, as they draw from your very mind to destroy you, both physically and mentally. I have seen scads of soldiers and innocent people alike be slaughtered in gruesome and insane ways that I couldn't even begin to describe.
They only appear at night or in deep dark caves. They can also sometimes appear in the darkness of water. The places of which these creatures appear vary greatly, and have an effect on how the creature appears. There is always something that appears odd on the creature that allow others to determine if this is a normal creature or not. Despite whatever form these creatures take, their stats don't change or vary all that much, giving some familiarity for characters to work with.
A Broad Spectrum
These creatures have no definitive shape, making them wildly unpredictable on how they will move or attack, making planning ahead nearly impossible.
