Species: Hawk Cyclop
Family: Sleep Demon
Risk level: Low
Weaknesses: None
Description: As its name says it is a giant hawk with singular eye, but unlike normal animals it is positioned on its stomach. Its victims reported that its size was usualy thet of the human adult. Like any normal sleep demon it only manifests itself in its prey's consciousness and its only visible to them. It is also rather weak and limited in ways which it can appear. For example it can only haunt one person at the time and cannot switch victims for around a week, and can also only exist in dreams.

This species gets itself energy by hypnotizing its hosts and causing them distress and anxiety, which in turn overworks their body and takes excess energy which comes from it. There were cases where it caused death of the person which it was parasiting on, but they were not numerous, and usualy happened to old people, and people with heart problems.
Of course people with high enough mental fortitude can resist its influence, but it still results in restless night. It is not very dangerous, but you can still prevent it from taking a hold of you by resting enough.
Personal notes: "One of the few monsters that we can't do anything against. In other cases at least we could somehow influence their appereance, but here the only think we can do is just limiting it. Thankfully, it is not very dangerous, but just to be sure when something similar, but much more dangerous shows up, we must prepare and learn more about those beasts, to better prevent losses."
