Deadlight

Dwelling mainly in the sewers and underground waterways, Deadlight is an ancient evil being that is perhaps billions of years old, as old as the universe itself – though his actual origins are unknown. He takes a plethora of forms, but his favorite is a murderous, dancing clown..

Its primary goal is to feed on humans, generally preferring children over adults – as they are easier to scare and manipulate. According to the creature, frightened flesh tastes better and uses fear to “salt the meat”.

As far back as humans have recorded history, Deadlight strikes like clockwork every 27 years – making his appearance to kill and eat, only to disappear once again. As luck would have it, today is the 27th anniversary of his last killing!
