Well then, you asked for it. You can use this on your own if you think it's too powerful, and I strayed away from magic a bit since I wasn't sure if the supernatural exist in this universe. I'll get your OK before I put them on the map anywhere.

They have elongated limbs and lidless, white eyes- Lacking pupils or iris. Physically, they are rather weak comparative to the massive size their species possess, though they are capable of reaching speeds on par with a cheetah- And when running, have been known to crouch on all fours. They have large mouths that typically stay shut unless eating, as well as long, nail-like claws for cutting and carving prey. They are quiet- And rarely, if ever speak, relying on a subconscious hive mind to relay messages to other Husks within the local area. They do not appear in the daylight- The sun burns their sensitive flesh- Causing them to hide mostly underground until night, when they come out to hunt and feast. Husks have Sexual monomorphism- With males and females having no known discernible traits to identify one from the other, due to the nature of reproduction. [b]POPULATION:[/b] 12 [b]RACE BEHAVIOUR:[/b] Staying in small groups or in solitude, Husks live in relative silence among their 'communities', if one can even call them that. They are often near impossibly still, staring directly into small sources of light like flames and fire- Giving them the appearance of shadows on the ground or wall. During the day, they are extremely passive unless disturbed, and often can be found in caves simply staring at the flickering flames of a fire they made the night before, almost as a way of 'rest'. At night, they have two separate modes of engagement- And turn lethally hostile to all forms of nearby life of appropriate size. Hunting mode refers to the time when Husks will hunt for sustenance- Going out in small packs or alone to hunt and consume the live flesh of animals or creatures. Collection mode is a time that happens seasonally- Where Husks will go out in groups to grab and collect unsuspecting people or life and pull them back into their caves. From there, these beings are subjected to a torturous, painful process of 'infection' where their bodies are morphed and formed into a Husk like the rest of the species. This is how they reproduce. Creatures found halfway through their torture have been found to be near lifeless husks of what they were before, often staring out into space as the infection spreads through their body- Hence the name Husk.
