The Dancer (Lights Are Off)

## Evil-Doer

**The Dancer**, also known as **Nurpo** by many fans, is a major reoccurring antagonist in the *LIGHTS ARE OFF* horror-short web series.

It's a mysterious, chaotic and homicidal being that appears it enjoys dancing and killing people, mainly anyone or anything it comes across. It's true identity and motives are completely unknown, though it's barely been shown that it does indeed has a notable personality. Every time The Dancer is shown in any short, a somewhat distorted, high-pitch version of *Memories Of Love* by *Lenny Dean* play continuously.

## Appearance:

The Dancer is a gargantuan, tall monster in appearance, with a grey and white coloured body, lenient dirt covered upon it's whole body, various blood streaks on it's body, along with a couple rows of sharp teeth, a red button-like nose, two ears, a semi-deformed face with huge bulbous eyes that appear to glow on command by The Dancer. It's limbs also appear as somewhat deformed stubs, though that does not disable The Dancer from doing much harm.

It's extremely physical and fit for a creature of it's stature, surviving a full blown head-on collision with a semitruck and still deciding to pursue the protagonist without any troubles whatsoever. It's also insanely fast, running faster than a speeding car and rampaging on the protagonist's vehicle in a heartbeat. It also appears very physically strong as it's able to ramp itself into various vehicles just to catch up with the protagonist and slaughter them.

## Personality:

Mistakenly, many would think The Dancer does not hold up a personality. Despite what some may think, it does indeed showcase stellar and dangerous traits that make it a haunting monster. It appears that The Dancer, hence it's name, loves dancing. It also loves music and seems to like staying by any light sources. For unknown reasons, when the protagonist spots The Dancer it appears to have an interesting yet joyful rage at the protagonist's presence while making various attempts at killing them, which it appears it succeeds in.

It's also hinted that The Dancer will and can kill anything that appears to aggravate him. With his chaotic side, he also appears to be intelligent, seeming that he faked his death to trick the protagonist (And the driver that appeared in the short) that it was completely defeated and done for, though it was able to sneak it's way on top of the semitruck and quickly slaughter the protagonist and the driver with a gleeful smile while doing so.

It's unknown what's it's true motives are, though it also likes killing those who appear to harass him, hinting at it being more sinister than it appears. The Creator of the shorts has implied there are more episodes arriving that will be including The Dancer (Alongside The Giant Devil Skeleton), it's likely his background/history will partially remain a mystery, though that is up for debate.

## Trivia:

* Next to The Giant Devil Skeleton and The Smile Cat, it's arguably up there as one of the creator's more popular monster creations.
	+ Along with this, all three monsters have the most appearances in any of the creator's shorts and have appeared multiple times.

* It's presumed with the rest of the creator's OC-type monsters, that they all reside within the same universe, including The Dancer.

* It's unknown why The Dancer's eye's particularly glow, though this also could hint at some supernatural powers that The Dancer could have.
	+ Also with this claim, since they appear to glow on command and at will by The Dancer.

* It's implied that The Dancer is a cannibal, some evidence to back this theory up is that there is many stained blood marks along The Dancer's many sets of teeth, though it's unknown who The Dancer would've committed this act towards.

* It's possible that The Dancer is affiliated with The Smile Cat, as they have various similarities in both appearance and personality.
