Stalker is a menacing creature found crawling their way through the Horror Dimension, spying on creatures and people with their eyes. Stalker has no name, and was only given the name stalker because they peer through space and time to watch people go about their business, longing to devour them.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Stalker possesses a large, slug-like body, over 200 million metres long. Their skin is a dark brown, with a lighter brown on their singular slimy toe that extends from their mouth to the end of their tail. Their mouth not a mouth, but rather a gaping hole with jagged edges; these edges are the equivalent of teeth, being able to slice through any object. Their eyes are connected to their body, on long stalks. Their eyes are a bright yellow, with a thin horizontal pupil and iris that fill their eyes when they peer through space and time. For a nostril, they have two slits above their mouth.

Genetics and Reproduction

Stalker is not known to reproduce, as stalker is immortal. It is theorised that if stalker ever died, or went into hibernation in a dormant state, they would lay a single egg that was an exact copy of themselves. As of now this has not occured, and it is not confirmed that this would happen anyways.

Growth Rate & Stages

Stalker is an ever-growing being too. Over their several billion year life, they have grown from a few centimetres to hundreds of millions of metres long, with no hopes of stopping. How stalker grows is beyond most, as they have grown too big to consume creatures and gain enough energy.

Ecology and Habitats

Stalker lives inside a cocoon about double the size of themself. The cocoon is coated in a mucus that renders it practically unbreakable, and the cocoon can also suck the vitals out of anyone who touches it, and this is thought to then go to stalker and keep them surviving.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Because of their size, stalker is unable to eat enough to survive. Instead, they coated their cocoon in a mucus which is able to absorb people's vitals, which will funnel it into stalker and keep them surviving.
In their early life, stalker was able to eat creatures, but as he got too big he could no longer do that and resorted to his less efficient, but still stable food source.

Additional Information

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Stalker has the ability to peer through space and time itself, with the help of their god-gifted eyes. Stalker uses this power to track creatures and people, and their every movements, in the hopes of one day being able to eat them.
The only reason stalker cannot eat them, is because they were banished to the Horror Dimension along with every other creature there by Aavar, God of Gods.   What makes this power so incredible is that they can see people's movements in the past, see them in the future, and so they have a knowledge on literally everything in the Yonderverse, past, present and future.   When stalker is using their power, their eyes will turn black from the middle outwards, and they will start chanting an unusual language. Vague words can be heard, such as "manifestation", but most of it is gibberish.

This is a real neat creature. Very lovecraftian and eldritch! I like it. I also like how it is known as plural (they, their) as well, along with their incredible age and length. The anatomy section was also quite colorful in its descriptions, that gave me a good image of them in my head.
Keep up the good work!

Glad you like it! The creature has no gender, so I used they/them :) (As you know I made many mistakes with it xD) In the future I'll have an image of the creature so look forward to that!

I hope you have a great day!   Explore the endless planets brimming with life of the Yonderverse! Go after creatures, discover new places, and learn about the people you find along the way.
