Shade creeper

Shade Creepers are small creatures that are a recurring problem in Jrusar.

Description
Shade creepers are small gray creatures, with leathery, noseless faces and mouths full of teeth. Their eyes are red or black and they wear dark-colored cloaks and can wield daggers. Their feet are clawed.

When the black-eyed variety of shade creepers attack, they deal both piercing and necrotic damage. When they're killed, they spontaneously combust, dealing a small amount of fire damage to those in the surrounding area.

Known Shade Creepers
A group of shade creepers with black eyes attacked the party in the Weary Way Tavern. They appeared to be under the control of the dwarf who was also fighting the party.

After the combat, Imogen and Laudna said that they'd helped Zhudanna deal with some shade creepers, but that the ones they'd seen had red eyes, not black.
