Cloaker

Cloakers are a Species of Aberration that First appeared in the book The Autistic Hero 2: World's Clashing. They are first encountered when Nine is visiting his friends on the overworld since he hadn't seen them in awhile and The Primordial Anger decides to make another invasion and possesses a few Cloakers who were having a Migration past earth from their home galaxy to another. They attack the group and are lead by an Enormous, Overshadow Cloaker which took the combined efforts of Nine and Yaoguai Xenith to kill. The other cloakers were able to become free from the anger as it flees out of fear and allows the Other Cloakers to go back into space.

## Biology

The Cloakers resemble horrifying Manta rays with a Cloud grey hide and a creme colored underbelly which the main body has wings attached to it that are shaped like a crescent moon and have several holes in them. they also have a barbed tail which is longer than it's wingspan and allows it to turn and twist through space and skies with mad accuracy and making slicing whip sounds as they do so. Their face is round and pudgy and have the mouths of an angler fish while on the sides of their heads they have 2 appendages which have bioluminescent lures on the end of them which draw in creatures before they can get enveloped. The creature is made completely out of cartilage except for it's teeth meaning no fossil records can suggest they have ever been on earth before this. Their eyes are red bloodshot ones allowing them to snap awake from a dream in an instant. There are several sets of holes running down their backs which produce a strange gas that they can manipulate to come out and make a replica of itself which it can do three times. this allows them to essentially confuse prey on which is real. They span a size of 5 meters in wingspan with a length of 11 meters. however Cloakers do have a rare variant called Overshadow Cloaker which are 20 meters in length and have a 13 meter wingspan. These variants have a dark purple underbelly with stars on them that if looked at will cause the observer to hallucinate and thus the Overshadow Cloakers can appear to have more than 3 Illusions. Most cloakers are unable to handle the light which blinds them and also does fire damage to them but the Overshadow Cloakers have a thin invisible exoskeleton around their eyes which allows them to handle bright lights. The Cloaker species doesn't have a brain but rather a central nervous system meaning a piece that comes off of it will become a Young cloaker.

## Abilities

Anti-gravity Flight: Cloakers don't need any sort of gravity to fly and instead do it on their own without the laws of physics to say "Shut the fuck up and get nerfed".

Barbed Tail: The tail of the cloaker is covered in rough thorns which combined with the elasticity of the tail allows it to wrap around it's victims and deal both impaling damage and help to take the air out of someone's lungs. The tail is able to exert 10x more pressure than the Green Anaconda does with it's constriction.

Suffocating Bite: Whenever the Cloaker wants to bite it's prey, it wraps it's wings around them in order to stop them from running. the wings will then make all oxygen in it's orb area disappear and start to suffocate the prey to death while it simply watches.

Moan: The Subsonic moan of the Cloakers is not only a form of communication but also a defense mechanism, any attacker that hears the sound will get inflicted with the Ailments Fear, and Nausea which makes the enemies need to stop. This moan is amplified for the Overshadow Cloakers which their moan will inflict Neurotoxins into the ears from the moan.

Illusionairy Clone: the beast's leathery back is lined with holes that secrete a strange magical illusion that when focused will pop and they will create 1-3 duplicates which can be only done in the night time or in space which allows them to better swarm and confuse their prey. The clones do not have red eyes which is how you can figure out which is which. Overshadow Cloakers can make as many of 15 before needing to recharge.

Star Pattern Hallucination: The Patterns on the underside of the Overshadow Cloakers is able to give mortal minded targets hallucinations making it seem like theres more illusionairy clones than there actually is.

## Trivia

Cloakers likely came from the Manta Nebula which was seen in the beginning of book 2 when a Chart of named nebulas are shown.
