Haaori Demon

This being stands nearly the height of a human, though it is hunched over. It has long arms that seem to reach its knees, with each hand ending in vicious claws, nearly half a foot long. It has a hide that seems to be made of mottled leaves, moss, and decaying bark, though underneath this camoflage is a blackened husk. It has no face, merely two black opals that seem to serve as eyes.

The Haaori Demon, also known as the "Face Stealer", was unleashed in the days following the last days of the Kaellian Empire. It is a perverse fiend that stalks its prey amongst the wilds of the land. It enjoys the thrill of the hunt, and often taunts prey, wounding caught prey before releasing it once more, terrorizing the poor soul until the Haaori Demon grows tired.

Haaori demons enjoy trophies, and proudly display mementos from particularly interesting prey. This is the origin of their nickname, "Face Stealers", as many Haaori cure the facial skins of those they have caught.

Tactics: Haaori demons prefer to strike their opponent, and then fade into hiding if the attack doesn't land a kill. They often use their Deadly charge attack against unaware foes, gaining combat advantage damage. Once struck, they immediately go invisible, and strike again with their demon claws before fading into the surrounding forest, outrunning their slowed victim. After this attack, they will stalk the foe for a short period of time, before repeating this attack.
