Bauermeister

Bauermeisters are a collective group of hooded demonic entities that are present in the Garry's Mod horror anthology Nyctophobia and Frozen Winter, acting as the central antagonists responsible for the numerous disappearances throughout Siberia. While humanoid in appearance and malevolent in nature, very little is known about the shadowy figures.
Acting as the central antagonists throughout both series, the Bauermeisters are responsible for various weather phenomenon found throughout Siberia and are present stalking the protagonists as they journey through their nightmares and respective towns, and are even capable of influencing the actions of others in order perpetrate their schemes.
== Appearance ==
While completely cloaked in shadow, what little can be discerned from their appearance is a tall figure with a grey hooded jacket and bright red eyes. When angered, their true form is revealed as a figure enshrouded in fog with a gaping fleshy hole in its face. Their appearances can vary with vaguely discernable gestures in the dark to frighten their prey, to an outright smokey visage capable of disorienting victims and camouflaging them into mist, fog and storms.
== History ==
Throughout a bustling region of Siberia, mysterious beings known as Bauermeisters began to appear and systematically target and haunt the dreams of its residents over the course of several days before abducting, influencing and killing them. As authorities became aware of the numerous intrusions and anomalies, the entire region was quarantined and swiftly abandoned. 
Disconnected and at the creatures mercy, the quarantine would leave those left behind stranded within the various desolate towns blissfully unaware of the circumstances surrounding the Bauermeisters or the governments intentions. Those influenced by the Bauermeisters were capable of terrorizing their communities with little repercussion or vigilance, only further spreading their chaotic reign.
