Orykta

A misbegotten creature, tall of stature and lanky the unholy spawn appear as part man with rabbit in them. While a rare sighted being, they are reported to appear in bedrooms of those on the verge of sleep. They stand, staring at them from the foot of the bed, or beside the pillow, pacing, leaning uncomfortably close to the victims face. The ultimate attention seeker, if the victim acknowledges that they have seen the creature it will never leave. If the would be victim refuses to acknowledge its presence the creature will eventually get bored and look for a better target.
