Eyebiter

Adversaries Designed by Gaurelin

Adversary overview

An eyeless, spindly limbed spectre that robs its victims of the ability to see before it strikes.

A creature of brittle limbs and hollow sockets, the Eyebiter moves with an unnerving, jerky grace. Its spindly form seems to absorb light, making it appear as a tear in the fabric of perception. Where eyes should be, there are only pits of absolute darkness, unless they are unsettlingly filled with the vacant stares of its past victims. It preys not on flesh, but on the very ability to perceive, literally plucking the sight from its prey and wearing it as a macabre trophy, its gaze a curse in itself.

Features

Passives
