The Lurker
this world. Its skin is a sickly green, covered in pulsating boils and oozing sores. Its sunken eyes glow with an eerie purple light, and its twisted limbs move with an unnatural and unsettling grace. Backstory: The Lurker was once a normal human, a scholar and adventurer who delved into the deepest, darkest corners of the world in search of ancient knowledge and hidden secrets. But one fateful expedition led him to a forgotten chamber, where he stumbled upon a cursed artifact that promised great power in exchange for his humanity. Unable to resist the temptation, the scholar succumbed to the artifact's influence, and was transformed into the monstrous being known as The Lurker. Now, trapped between worlds, it wanders the realm, forever haunted by its insatiable hunger for forbidden knowledge and the agony of its cursed existence.
