Woodcrawlers are one of the entities sent by the Iris to infect Earth in the 1930's. They are colloquially referred to as "Skinwalkers" by campgoers. They are found all over North America and are quiet, efficient hunters. They are born out of the pods made by Gardiners.

## Characteristics

The only known body feature the creatures posses are long, white/grey arachnid legs. They possess high-pitched voices but rarely use them. Woodcrawlers only reside a few feet below the ground, as well as being able to live above the surface. The height of these creatures usually averages to around a height taller than a typical human. "Storm Safety Tips" also suggests that Woodcrawlers are attracted to the salt in human tears, making it easier to find their prey.

## Hunting/Infecting

Woodcrawlers are extraordinarily silent but efficient hunters, being able to make zero noises but incapacitate and infect prey. The ends of their legs are used as weapons, as they are very sharp. Woodcrawlers live in the houses of large families in order to adapt to heir surroundings. They have multiple ways of entering a home, such as knocking on doors to lure humans, or they can attack from the floor, as they can dig underground to catch their prey completely off guard. The Woodcrawler uses it's "probiscus" to infect humans, or infects humans through their own. This process is used to make Fake People. The end stages of DRD also may suggest that whatever is occupying the interior of the victim, it could be a Woodcrawler.

## Appearances

* "World's Weirdest Animals" is the first video where the creatures appear on GHE. Considering all of the previous animals were seen when being described, the "empty" shot of a forested area when introducing the Woodcrawlers implies that the creature is view, but able to blend in with the background seamlessly. The basic facts about the entities are described, with one of the final shots being a Woodcrawler partially emerging from a doorway in a home. The cameraman returns to the home to see the fake people the Woodcrawler has turned the family into, before being pursued by one of them, ending the video.

* "Storm Safety Tips" discusses how the average person can defend themselves from Woodcrawler attacks. The video mentions how creating a bunker can deter and prevent Woodcrawlers from hurting the family. The video also talks of how Skinwalkers are attracted to the salt in human tears, so remaining calm during an attack is extremely important.

* "Camp Information Video" mentions that Skinwalkers have been sighted since the 1930's. It also gives the first mention on how they knock on doors to lure prey. The video gives a list of the staff infected with DRD. The video ends with the door being opened.

* "Lethal Omen Commercial" has the player hide from a Woodcrawler by hiding in the bunker we see in SST. One of the endings of the game also shows the creature pounding at the door we see in the previous video.
* "Games for Kids" encourages children to go out without their parent's knowledge to go into the woods to be sacrificed by Woodcrawlers or anothe Iris entity. The video ends with a cop car dragged into the ground by a Woodcrawler(s).
* "Advanced Mining Vehichle" shows how Woodcrawlers are made. They are created by the Gardiners planting a pod within the earth.
* "Home Invasion Help" teaches Woodcrawlers how to invade and infect humans. The video ends with the sillouette of a Woodcrawler being seen, before the cameraman is attacked by the Woodcrawler.

## Trivia

* "Camp Information Video" shows the creature knocking on the doors of the cabins was the Gardiner; however, this was just a mistake on Remy's part, as he stated he used the wrong model.
