"Hunters from Beyond" are an alien species of interdimensional predators. (CIRCLE: "The Hunters from Beyond")
Description
These horrific creatures are native to a world ordinarily unreachable by human senses, but are capable of crossing over into our realm and even leaving physical traces, such as saliva. Their strong putrefying smell is also indicative of their presence. However, they're not capable of interacting with anything physically, and the way they move around is not fluid, but rather resembles a series of instantly-shifting images.
Their physical appearance is similar to a pale-grey hairless ape, with a slouched posture and vaguely canine jaws, as well as long fangs from which their greenish slime-like saliva is often seen dripping. The talon-like claws on their hands are comparable to those of a hyena. The shriveled skin is marked by etiolated rings, which also give them a trace of worm-like aspect. Their deep-sunken eyes glow with a bright yellow phosphorescence.
