Stats
Name: Nekker (more of a title they were given but it suits the purpose)
Gender: Undefined, is usually referred to as the dominant sex in the world/community.
Species: Possessing no true identification of their own but borrowing such terms as "scarecrow", "bubak", or "boogeyman", these creatures are not a species so much as manifestations of dark energy that sustain themselves on the fear of others. Nekker is what's known as a "nokken" or "nixie"", a subspecies that prefers bogs and pools as their habitat and is known to lure unsuspecting humans into the water to drown them. They are nocturnal predators, never seen in full light, and are not averse to forming small groups of 2 to 4 with like-minded entities.
Origin: 2024 Nexus Autumn Gather, created by Phoenix.

Colour: Brown-Yellow
Size:
Always bigger than what they want to scare.
Description
: Tall and lanky with rough skin and ragged wings. They have clawed feet like those of a bird and patches of bristly fur at their neck, arms, legs and tail. Nekker's fingers are long scythe-like talons that are so sharp that most don't know when they've been cut. With two horns, bright, glowing eyes and a breath that seems to scream poisonous vapour, they are a terrifying sight to behold.
Personality: Nekker lives to frighten others. They were manifested out of the dark energy of fear and the misunderstandings that those lost in the dark experience. They are very much single-minded and have a penchant for dark and twisted jokes. They are reluctant to kill.... but accidents do happen when you're having fun.
Quirks: Is vulnerable to Sunlight but also to Laughter.

Story
Nekker lurked in the swamp. The dark waters were cold, murky and inviting. Usually they were as quiet as a grave, but today they stirred as something swam within. Nekker's eyes lighted with glee. Time to frighten whatever had not heeded the rumours and whispered warning. Time to have fun!
The shadowy boogyman crept closer to the disturbance. Sometimes swimming, at other times floating above the water. Would the intruder feel the water ripple? Would they be scared of the covert noises coming closer? Nekker huffed and puffed in delighted anticipation. Dragging talons along long grass to create rustling, rapping their talons against treetrunks close to the water's edge to create the knocking that so ominously echoed in the night.
But when Nekker reached the disturbance, all that could be found was a weird object of green spider lace. Could a giant spider monster be trying to make the swamp their home? Would any dare to approach? Nay, this was Nekker's turf and no others would be allowed!
But not even the boogeyman possessed a heart cold enough to deny the Egyptian care when Zombie finally emerged from her cocoon. With fur so pleasantly sickly green that she would camouflage without problem. With feathers tipped in bloodiest of red that were so alluring. And with eyes so blindingly bright that they would scare anyone who dared enter the swamp... Nekker just couldn't resist.

Zombie stretched her legs. She'd been dosing pleasantly but as night fell, her companion would soon appear. The canine-shaped Egyptian hunted for a little snack that she could share with Nekker and she succeeded in catching a few of the large water rodents that were very tasty. She was now big enough to take care of herself but she was reluctant to leave. The swamp had become her home and the creatures within were easy to catch and play with. And the biggest creature of all, had proven to be a good playmate. They played 'Hide and Seek' every night, a game much enhanced once Zombie learned to make use of her necromancy. But the most enjoyable game of all was that of 'Scare the Humans'. Too bad so few humans ventured into the swamp. And with each one they let escape back to safety, the rumours grew and fewer humans dared brave the unknown.

Stats
Name: Zombie
Gender: Female
Species: Egyptan, Canine Type
Origin: 2024 Nexus Autumn Gather, created by Zekiran
. Original Egyptans by Jona.

Colour: Zombie, Sickly green fur and is that blood or just markings?
Size: 2-4' at the shoulder, 2x long from nose-tail. Wingspan 2.5x height. (Large Pet)
Personality: Fierce, protective and very much her own entity. Nekker might have found her, helped raise her, but she is now definitely very much in charge.
Quirks: Loves getting snuggly tied into bandages.
Lifecycle: spin webs to shelter and protect their young but they are not egg-layers. These will be found as cocoons and raised by whoever their caretaker may be, they should be at least aided by someone capable of tending them for a few years as they mature, and they can live up to 300 years. They prefer only small numbers of "pets" around themselves, and also prefer specific appearances for their pages when put up.
Abilities: Their powers can be 'magic' or 'psychic' as needed, they do not cast spells, all their abilities are innate. This Egyptan is actually capable of animating or even raising freshly-dead things up to about the size of a large raccoon or a medium-sized dog, including magical or pet-dragon types. All Egyptans can communicate and are intelligent, self-aware creatures. They may have variations on mental or physical speech, dreams, or other such methods when they cannot speak the local tongue.
