| “ | The creature that floats before you is like a thing out of nightmares. It has a vaguely human shape, but it's a shape without features that has been distorted and bristles with madness. From the waist down it trails away into vaporous nothingness, leaving a faint trace of fog behind it as it moves. | „ |
