"Night Skulker"

CLASS: BIOCONSTRUCT

A relentless mastermind of assassination, the dread Slashriek can calculate innumerable ways to kill its target with or without its own daggerlike claw, turning virtually anything available into an improvised deathtrap. Most feared of all is the monster's Intellectual Dampening Wave, a signal broadcast from its snout with debilitating effects on neurological activity, impairing its victim's judgment, coordination and reaction time while increasing paranoia and emotional impulsiveness. One telltale sign of Slashriek activity is the sudden, inexplicable decision by a well-armed group to "split up" and "cover more ground."

Slashriek may imitate and project any sound or voice to further manipulate their targets, including a disorienting screech that seems to emanate from all directions simultaneously. Their vicious jaws are usually retracted beneath their tough, bony facial shields.

I thought I commented on this? Anyway I didn't realize the double-face until I read the comments. It looked to me that it was a skull with an elongated knife-like nasal opening. What you've done here is great! The body looks fairly generic, but I think that's the idea.

Yeah, since he's meant to invoke slasher villains he couldn't stray too far from a humanoid, but I gave him maybe more efficient proportions for sneaking around and stabbing people :p

I do think of that as a nasal opening, but would look like the ghost mouth when his head is lowered

Wow, this is awesome. This is probably one of my favorite Mortasheen monsters. Like its appearance and how it fits the assassin image while still being its own kind of creature. It's also got some awesome abilities. :)

This is fantastic, I love everything about this! I think this creature would be ten times better in a movie than some guy in a mask. You really outdid yourself here!

Beautiful! Funny thing is, I actually didn't notice the goblin shark part until someone bought it up, but now, I can't unsee it. :D
