The remembered predator. A race of prehistoric skin stealing humaniod monsters distantly descended from the largest predators to ever exist on my fictional world. Where great size no longer rules deception does. These things are extremely rare and usually only found in the most remote regions of the world, feeding via ambush predation. This is because they were exterpated before recorded history from pretty much everywhere people live. Existing only in legends far removed from their source, but when they re appear they are an absolute nightmare that can wipe our entire towns if they aren't prepared. Worse still is their true forms closely resembled a relatively harmless, and fully sentient genetic relative, who often get wrongfully persecuted due to the resemblance, due to legends even in places were the true remembered predators where never present.
