Name: The Followers
Height: Approximately 6 feet
Physical Description:
The Followers are shadowy, ethereal beings with forms that appear to be composed entirely of smoke. Their heads resemble those of wolves, with elongated snouts and sharp, predatory eyes. Each of their hands is equipped with claws nearly 7 inches long, capable of slicing through almost anything in their path. Their entire presence is dark, ominous, and otherworldly, blending seamlessly into the night.
Behavior and Abilities:
The Followers are mysterious entities that exist in the space between dimensions. Their motives are largely unknown, but it is clear that they choose their targets based on criteria beyond human comprehension. Once a target has been selected, The Followers latch onto them, following them just outside the realm of their dreams. These creatures dwell in the twilight zone between asleep and awake, the only place where their presence can be perceived by the living. This is the moment when their chosen victim might catch a fleeting glimpse of them, a shadowy figure at the edge of their vision, a whisper of a nightmare just before full consciousness sets in. The Followers are patient, waiting for their target’s death. They do not seem to engage in direct violence but rather feed off the process of dying itself, savoring the slow approach of the inevitable. Their influence over this process is unclear, though some believe they may be capable of subtly nudging their victims toward their demise through psychological manipulation or by fostering despair.
Known Weaknesses:
Currently, no specific weaknesses have been identified, but their connection to the boundary between dreams and reality suggests that controlling one’s mind and emotions might help fend off their influence.
Threat Level: High
The Followers are a significant threat, particularly because their methods of attack are largely passive and psychological.
