FEATURED
The Mirror-Skinned Dreamstalker manifests in dense urban environments where polished metal, glass, or still water provides abundant reflective surfaces. It favours liminal spaces such as rain-slick alleys, bedchambers with uncovered mirrors, closed bathhouses, and narrow streets lit by uneven lamps. During daylight it is dormant or absent entirely. After dusk it slips between reflections, feeding on fear-laced dreams and unresolved anxieties. Victims are rarely killed outright. Most are left exhausted, paranoid, and emotionally disoriented for days.
Avoidance relies on denying access to reflections. Mirrors are traditionally covered, glass smeared with ash or lime, and still water disturbed before sleep. Hunters force the creature into physical space by surrounding it with light-absorbing materials and cracked stone. When destroyed, it leaves behind dream-crystal shards that dissolve in sunlight. These are harvested by occultists and sleep-healers but are outlawed in many cities due to mass nightmare incidents.
