APPEARANCE-
!NOTE: This description is based off what people who would be considered ‘unreliable witnesses’ by authorities, and the mentally-ill!
7’0” to 7’7” in height and humanoid in shape with small reflective white-red eyes, pure black skin *with the appearance of scales across it’s body*, *long retractable claws*, *a circular mouth constantly open mouth*, and a collection small glowing spikes across it’s back.

BEHAVIOR-
Twilight Creepers have only been seen in the minutes before dawn and dusk, where half of their namesake comes from.
Twilight Creepers seem to be unaffected by the Keys as all individuals who where attacked all had Keys with them *and when they were found their Keys had been melted into a shining blob or missing*.
*They seem to dislike sound and both the light and dark more so than the other beasts. Despite this they have only been seen in cities*.
*They have been heard making soft clicking and growling noises*.

WEAKNESSES-
!NOTE: Based off ‘unreliable witnesses’!
Light, Dark, Noise

AFFECTS-
People who have seen the Twilight Creeper are often left in a state of coma that so far for each one has lasted nearly 3 (three) weeks. After they wake they are left in an near uncontrollable terror state, as they are scared of everything we had to administer a variety of drugs, more than a normal healthy person could handle, to calm them enough for them to gain some basic functions back.
*When one patient was semi-coherent they said the Beast could directly touch their Keys unlike nearly any other known Beast* .

SIGHTINGS-
The months following the Gate opening their have been few sightings of this creature across Center, and even fewer across the oceans in Arkaiv and Novis .
After a Twilight Creeper attack is reported the city where the attack happened a mandatory early curfew is put into place for at least 3 weeks, It is considered cruel to not let someone into your building after curfew .
