(The closest item I can find is the Scimitar of Speed, which is ridiculously weaker than "item that casts haste for 2 hours/day as no action" analogue of the cloak of invisibility)Gloomstalker gets invisibility against creatures with darkvision if there are no light sources.  Given how darkvision works in 5e, underground races would still light things up (darkvision gives you sight with disadvantage in darkness; it would be like humans living where the light never gets brighter than a full moon).  Having glowing fungus that generates a dim light within 20', for example, is perfect for underground races (they get full vision, surface dwellers get disadvantage on perception, and Gloomstalker's invisibility doesn't work).</blockquote>
