HoC Bk1 Evil Creatures: Lurkers and Boss Names

Name: Lurker (Regular)

Species: Former Magic Born (MB)

Class: ZZ

Description: Half skull (missing jaw) and backbone. A ghostly shroud is attached to the backbone. When moving, its shroud resembles the frills on a cuttlefish.  When it extends its wings, they resemble that of a tattered bat. Their eye sockets glow red when they smell food.

Attack(s): When spotting a victim, it moves in a serpentine fashion. Its shrouded wings become tangible enough to wrap around victim's arms and torso, pinning their arms to their body. The Lurker will place the underside of their skull on the victim's head and feed. The person is entirely sucked up and will disappear. Whatever shirt the victim was wearing will appear on the lurker’s wings as a pattern. (Also known as being "capped" or "cap and shrouded").  The Magic Born and their magic will be digested for a year. (For a way to save the victim, see the ‘How to kill’ section below.)

Defense(s): It's a shade (ghost). It can go through anything that's not magical.

Known facts: Any Magic Born who's rank is 10 and lower become these. They will use their "nose" to sniff magical residue left on the ground by magical people/creatures and begin their hunt. Anything non-magical whether living or not, is by-passed, undisturbed.

They are also sensitive to anyone with a large amount of magic. If their magical spark is big enough, lurkers that are within the powerful MB’s radius, will come to the hunt immediately and then it's a race to reach the victim.

Known History: Made by the Lurker King.

Tame: NO!

Weakness(es): Magic in any form. The more magic, the quicker the lurker will be lured.

How to kill: The skulls are their weak point. When destroying a Lurker, you need something with a high amount of magic to break its skull, not just crack it. The tools used against them are generally magical weapons.

            If a “full” Lurker’s skull is shattered, the victim will then fall out of them, weak and disoriented. Take them to the nearest Realm Keeper, magicks’ hospital or clinic, and have them checked over for remaining lurker residue.

Nicknames: Mindless vacuums. Flying sheets. Bedsheets. “Evil wearing a dress.”- Kory.
