The Light Stealers could be considered similar to the Whisperers of BoneHaven.
They couldn't be classified as Cryptids or Mutants since they didn't fall under either of the characteristics needed to be placed under either species.
They were different… in a most terrifying way.
The Light Stealers were named thusly as they sought only one thing, the light.
But it wasn't just any light, no, what they looked for was the light of humanity which could also be referred to as their pneuma.
It was in a desire to become more human.
But the only humans that would be able to come down into the caverns were the Augustus and considering those that came in were usually Mystics, it was quite difficult to devour their pneuma without suffering from endless attacks though in all honesty, there hadn't been a safe way to defeat the Light Stealers.
