Most creatures in the world are visible because of the reflection of light from their bodies provides the eye with an image for the brain to process. This creature is different, only visible because of the nimbus of red—mist? fire?—surrounding it. It slithers from the floor, up the wall, then into the air itself, unbound by gravity. Many eyes float around its shadowy form, which has a mantis-like head and large claws, behind which are a set of six chittering centipedal legs and a long tail crested with a fin. No smell accompanies this aberration, but a chill pervades the air around it, and the constant sound of screams and wails assault your ears.
