That would be great.

So...before Alone in the Woods came along, I had this idea that whatever killed anyone in the Brunswick Farms was something that can drain your life-force in your sleep. I made a Grimm based off of this idea.

Name: Dreameater.

Inspiration: Volume 6, Chapter 5.

Environment: Dark forests, caves, abandoned settlements.

Appearance: Dreameaters are emaciated, humanoid creatures with small black wings, not big enough to fly. They have long arms which stretch all the way to their feet, and birdlike talons. Their eyes resemble crescents facing upward. They are also seen hunched over or in a fetal position.

Armorings: Nowhere except the face.

Aesthetics: A symbol resembling a closed eye on their foreheads.

Behavior: Dreameaters usually set up hideouts near villages, and will remain inactive until sunset. Once it has claimed enough lives, it will to search for more victims. They will usually try to avoid contact at all costs, often teleporting when spotted.

Attacks: Dreameaters are incapable of physical combat.

Powers: When a Dreameater has nested and the sun sets, the Grimm will generate a sleep-inducing aura over a wide radius, causing anyone within said radius to fall into a deep sleep. Anyone affected by the Dreameater’s power will then have their life-forces drained out of them by its aura, causing their bodies to rot. When the Dreameater has drained enough life-forces, its sleep-inducing aura will grow stronger and will have wider range. The Dreameater also has the ability to teleport vast distances when in senses nearby danger.

Some of the Dreameater’s victims will be resurrected as a zombie-like creature known as a ‘Somnambulist’, which will mindlessly wander around in search of new victims. A Somnambulist will cause its victim to go into a deep sleep by wrapping them in a tight embrace, where it will then absorb their life-force to grow stronger.

Weaknesses: Can be killed in one or a few hits if managed to be cornered.
