Description

Watcher is a twisted looking creature. It has one horn that grows completely straight away from its head, and another that grows in a cork-screw shape. It looks wispy and appears to be made of smoke or very dark clouds that are always shifting. The only portion of it that seems to be solid is his cracked "mask." Its mask looks to be a simple white ceramic mask that was cracked down the middle to about the nose. When viewed it appears to be frowning and smiling at the same time. The most disturbing part would have to be the eyes. they seem to be melting from where they used to be. Watcher's body is quite small, being no larger than 12 it seems quite meek in appearance. Its legs are more akin to single sharp pointed claws, and don't touch the ground. It walks/glides through the air only a few inches from the ground, but his long whip-like tail drags along, leaving a light mark in the ground wherever it has been.

Behaviors

Watcher has many odd behaviors. It tends to be be most clear in its being at midday and midnight, and less clear early in the morning and near dusk. During this time it seems to cling to trees and doesn't move. Very rarely will its mask shift places around its body. When this happens its body dissipates and reforms a few moments later where it should be in relation to the mask. When it finds other living creatures it tends to move either very slowly or not at all. Its most bizarre is probably when it simply tries to drink from rain puddles, yet doesn't.

Story

Watcher was created through the thoughts and feelings of every sentient being in the universe. He was created at the dawn of the first life. If life can think, life can fear. That's what Watcher is. That chilling feeling when you're alone at night and there's nothing around, yet you still feel the need to hurry home, or run away. That is watcher.

Purpose

Watchers purpose in the forest is to simply watch. That is all. Watch your back, or it may be watching you.
