man. It was unlike any man Davian had seen before, though; its skin was completely black and glistened in the dull gray light. Its hands were curved and elongated, more clawlike than anything else, and its limbs and torso were unnaturally thin. A horrible snuffling sound erupted from it; it turned toward him and Davian sank back, covering his mouth in horror. Though its face was distorted by the fog, he could see that the creature had no eyes, a mouth filled with rows of razor-sharp teeth, and a gaping, circular hole where its nose should have been.
