This little creature is a bit enigmatic, it does not answer questions about its origin or its nature. It usually meets such lines of inquiry with misdirection or blatant lies, or at times ignoring the question altogether. Nor does it seem to have a consistent form, adapting and changing based on its personal whim or on the perceptions of the viewer.
Most of the time it is just a blur of shadow skirting by one's peripheral vision, though when it stands still in some dark place one might get the vague impression of a cat or large rodent, always staring back with glowing reddish eyes. It can step into the light, but the shape of the creature and the texture of its surface can vary from one encounter to the next.
What does it want? It never says, really, yet its actions do not match its sinister appearance. It has been known to protect and comfort the wounded, or brush affectionately up against a stranger's leg like a happy cat. There have been rumors of the thing taking on a larger form and a definite gender to bed people, not always consensually and usually after sneaking in through an open window.
