Plot
With the addition of a new ruler comes new threats.
After Charlie had assumed control over the Nightmare Throne and Maxwell was released onto the island of his own creation, things began to change drastically. The new queen began to mold the island to better fit her own tastes- Which meant new environments, new creatures, and new foes. One such recent enemy that the survivors must face is a shadow monster, merely referred to as "Illis". This dark creature may not be as intimidating as the Terrorbeak or Crawling Horror when it comes to appearances, but its their mannerisms and methods that make them a force to be reckoned with. For starters, it doesn't need to be dark for Illis to show nor must you be low on sanity. They will appear whenever they so please, watching and waiting for the right moment to strike. They're known for stalking people for an extended amount of time and will attempt to drag them away when night falls. To make matters worse, they seem able to manipulate shadows to a degree; a trait not commonly seen in other Shadow Creatures.
They also don't fully bend to the queen's will, and there have been times where Illis completely ignored orders and acted on their impulses. It is unknown why they are this way, and why they do the things that they do. Perhaps Illis to seeks to break their role as a pawn and strive to be their own individual, or maybe even something greater. Whatever the case, Illis seems determined to get to the survivors; for what though is unclear.
Until their true intentions are revealed, Illis is yet another obstacle that must be overcome for the sake of survival. But they might prove to be the deadliest yet.
(Notice! This is a thread based around the 2D survival game, Don't Starve. While the game can be rather lighthearted in a lot of ways, this thread will be revolving around the more dark and creepy aspects of the game. If you are interested in the thread's plot but are unfamiliar with the game, then let me know and I'll explain the lore to the best of my abilities. Both canon characters and OCs are welcomed and please refrain from making one sentence posts!)
