“According to the reports it was the one that held out the most, but today it shows up neither on the runs nor on the patrols, honestly.”
The Lurker is the toughest of the legacy records, with fifty resistance according to the reports. Its name suggests stalking. Wanderers have adopted it as a word for what is near and can’t be seen.
What is preserved
- It exists in the old reports as a creature with fifty resistance.
- It does not wound. Its attacks, if it had any, no longer exist.
- It has no visible body and is neither seen nor heard.
Why it is not part of today’s Level 0
The creatures wanderers meet now are the Watcher, the Children, the Smiler, the Skinstealer and the three patrol creatures (Prowler, Grille and Stalker). The Lurker belongs to another era and another way of traveling the place.
How to survive
There is no advice of its own. What holds for any silent presence applies: don’t run, don’t turn your back on long corridors, and look for a shelter if something follows you at a constant distance.
What people say
The name has been seen on a floor note (see here), in a rumor that never leads anywhere. Nobody tells of a single encounter.
