In ancient times, when people were just getting on the path of true faith, evil still continued to exist in our lands. One of the oldest roots of evil was a creature whose name should not be spoken. It was feared by children and adults alike, and the mere mention of it made people panic. This creature was very insidious. Outwardly, it was indistinguishable from an ordinary person. Because the creature absorbed the soul and appearance of its victims. Every eight years, the creature appeared to satisfy its hunger. The creature would come to a village and that village would cease to exist on the same day. The creature would meet people and put them in a trance with a single glance. The creature would force all the villagers into the main square. At midnight, when all the people were in a deep sleep, standing in the main square, the creature would show its true appearance. The creature would shed its human skin. The creature was as black as soot. The creature took off its mask. The creature was satisfying its hunger.
