Death Stalker

Species: Death Stalker

Family: Sleep Demon

Risk level: None

Weaknesses: None

Description: This sleep demon is quite a peculiar one. It doesn't try to comminicate, doesn't in any way influence the though process of the victim, doesn't kill them when it manages to successfully complete its goals and doesn't in any way harm anybody. It could be as well the only demon ever recorded that is completely harmful, not including the small fright of the host. It selects the people that it wants to 'attack' randomly and there is currently no pattern to its manifestations.

It bonded itself to people of all social standings, genders, races and ages. The only limitation it has shown is that it cannot attach itself to anyone that is incapable of clear thoughs, that includes children under four years old and some mentally challenged people. Its appereance is very similar some more humanoid living shadows, which means that it only has a vague shape and not one defining feature. Many of its victims reported slight differences in its height or proportions, but it didn't vary greatly enough to be of importance.

Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.

The way it behaves is that it slowly, over time approaches its host in their dreams, which can take up to one week. It moves very calmly and not a single time changes its pace. From the perspective of the victim it walks towards them like it is on a stroll and when they wake up and go to sleep again it doesn't move a single digit from the previous night. But no matter if they run away from it or towards it it doesn't get any closer or further away from them. It's like it is attacked to a specific distance relative to the person.

When it finally manages to get face to face with them it says only a single sentence, which is 'You are not fun' and then disappears and never shows itself again to them. There was only one instance when it said something different and it ended in it appearing before its host in physical world and handing them a mummified cat head and once again disappearing.

Personal notes: "It said that it had fun with me. A monster said that I was fun. The only thing I have done different from others is that I tried to get to it first. I thought it was just a weird dream. Not I regret that choice. The head it gave me talks in its voice every night, asking me how I am doing. It is definitely weird adn when I tried to get rid of it it just came back the next morning. I just hope that it won't change its mind and get rid of me because I lost the value it had seen in me."
