Cavern Lurker
An eyeless, pale humanoid predator that hunts by sound in the deepest caves.
It moves wrong. The proportions are almost human — two arms, two legs, a head — but the joints bend at sickening angles and the limbs are too long by half. Its skin is translucent white, showing dark veins and the shadow of bones beneath. Where eyes should be there is only smooth, taut skin. The mouth, however, makes up for the lack — a vertical slit lined with needle teeth that opens wider than any jaw should allow. The Cavern Lurker does not see. It listens. It feels the vibrations of your heartbeat through the stone. And when it screams, you understand that the darkness has teeth.
