Nightstalker

Nightstalkers are massive, bear-like predators of Yrth, larger than Grizzlies and far more territorial. Their rarity and ferocity make them cryptids of Yrth legend, and it is unknown if the nightstalker is a creature of nature or nightmare. 
Nightstalkers are unimpaired by the darkness of night, although they have never been spotted during the day. The average nightstalker is said to weigh about a ton, with a dark, shaggy coat and tree-shredding claws.

Nightstalkers can produce a heavy, supernatural fog that causes confusion, and limits visibility and sound, allowing the great beast to stalk creatures that would otherwise easily sense the creature's arrival. When the faintly-violet fog rolls in, it is best to prepare oneself for battle...
