Masked Scryer are towering monstrosities with elongated, fur-covered bodies and multiple short limbs ending in clawed hands. Originally bred in secret laboratories far from the public eye, these creatures eventually broke free and spread into the depths of the world. Now, they haunt dungeons and labyrinths, where their twisting forms can slip through narrow corridors and around tight corners with disturbing ease. Due to their creation being from the cruelty of humanoids, the Masked Scryer will only ever feed upon sentient humanoids. If a simple animal walks past they will ignore it completely, even forming their twin tails into hearts as a sign of affection for the passing creature.

A Masked Scryer’s most terrifying weapon is deception. The top of its head is shaped to mimic a harmless, wide-eyed animal adorable at first glance, with large, innocent eyes that seem to beg for trust. But this is a cruel façade. The creature’s true face lies lower on its body, hidden beneath the false mask an unsettling maw lined with dagger-like teeth.

These predators lurk in the dark, using the blinking eyes at the tips of their whip-like tails to peer through cracks, keyholes, or gaps in stone. When prey draws near, the Scryer will slowly expose its false face, luring the curious closer. By the time its unnatural features register as wrong, it’s already too late. With horrifying speed, the creature lunges from the shadows and devours its victim whole.
