Fogweavers are one of the many monsters that call The Foglands home. They seem to be able to manipulate the fog around them to create a sort of camoflauge. There has only ever been one documented to have been seen and drawn before the person who saw it met an untimely demise. Many Fogwalkers presumaly fallen to this monster. The numbers are not known due to entire parties of Fogwalkers being eradicated, either by Fogweavers or by any number of other monsters. There has only ever been a handful of Fogwalkers who have seen a Fogweaver and have lived to tell the tale. They are considered lucky by some, and cowards by others as the only way to escape an attacking Fogweaver is to run while it has someone else.
"Its said that these monsters slowly thicken the fog, as if they're stalking you. Then, when your back is turned... THEY GRAB YOU OUT OF THE FOG!"
