Warden

Those who wish to brave the deep dark must face its consequences. There are many parasites who wish to feed off of the deep dark's secrets. Whether to explore the strange machinery of the ancient cities lost to humankind, by pure accident by going too deep in search of rare minerals, or an unlucky fall... Those who decide to defile such a sacred ground must answer to its warden.

Anyone who survives exploring such a place often report that they see a lost woman, wandering around. She is beautiful in nature, with shapely curves that are covered by the vegetation that the deep dark possesses. Her face covered by some blindfold, wandering around and using her voice to mimic a crying woman. However, upon closer look, she appears to just mimic the human form. Her arms and hands are more bone than skin, and she possesses a luminescent, greenish, blue hue. Perhaps what is most striking about her is the pointed, devilish horns on her head and her chest bearing claws with blue orbs floating around from a gaping hole in her stomach. Stands at 8 feet tall. She is avoidable through keeping one's steps silent, but beware of triggering the sculk shriekers that wake her from her rest.

The warden can detect all sound with her hypersensitive hearing. Her vision being lost has no effect on her, as there is no need for sight in the realm of the dark. She is the perfect predator, being able to squeeze in small spaces and possessing a loud shriek that penetrates armor. Just one swing from her arm would instantly shatter an obsidian wall. She blinds those around her, stealing their sight and making them see the same, blank darkness she views naturally. Truly a monster to be feared...

However, it is possible to escape her wrath. It is possible to distract her with a loud noise, making her confused and follow the direction of the sound. However, it prefers to go after suspicious targets...

According to records, she seems to enjoy feasting on the flesh on human males, especially younger ones. She kidnaps females, dragging them deeper into the ancient city. Not much is know about what happens to them after, however there are rumors that the warden steals their humanity and turns them into monsters like herself.
