Looker

Lookers are an extremely dangerous variety of demon native to Hell. They occasionally venture out into the Mortal Realm where they may terrorize and kill dozens before they are satiated. Lookers are known for their ability to create their own pocket dimensions where they can store and consume prey without interruptions. Slaying one is extraordinarily difficult and so far in recorded memory only one individual has survived an attack by one. Fortunately for mortals, they are as rare as they are dangerous.
==Physical Description==
Nobody knows for certain what Lookers actually look like. What little is known comes from the account of Tobias Briggs, the only known survivor of a Looker encounter. In his account of the ordeal, he describes the Looker as unusually tall, with pale skin stretched over bones that appear to jut from its body. He also said the demon has no mouth and dead, coal-black eyes. 
==Behavior==
Lookers come to the Mortal Realm for one reason only: to devour sentient creatures. A Looker will construct its lair in a recently abandoned place, attempting to strike a happy medium between not being disturbed and attracting enough prey to sustain itself. The Looker also prefers that its lair contain numerous places to store prey so that it is isolated from other subjects it may have captured. For this reason, Looker lairs can be found in prisons, warehouses, armories and old castle dungeons where there are numerous cell-like rooms to hold prey. 
Once the pocket dimension has been created, the Looker leaves a trapped item or decoration which is in fact a one-way gate to its lair. These items are usually something that will attract the attention of curious mortals, such as an old weapon, a blood stain, or a corpse of a previous victim. Once the prey touches the item, they are brought immediately to the pocket dimension. Should they try to leave, they will find themselves passing through the same corridor over and over infinitely. After a few minutes, the demon will appear silently and knock the unsuspecting prey out, taking them to their cell.
==Diet==
Lookers eat life energy. Each victim will be strung up, one at a time, on the wall of the lair and the Looker will periodically drain life energy from them. This causes extreme agony and ages the victim prematurely until they are eventually killed. Once a victim has been drained, the Looker replaces it with a new victim from one of the cells in its lair. When not actively draining or seeking new prey, the Looker will pace through its lair, staring into the windows of cells as though considering which victim to consume next- this is how it got its name. 
==Culture & Customs==
Nobody knows whether Lookers ever interact with others of their species in any capacity.
