Hypnovulfen resemble massive wolves with unnaturally large orange eyes and wide, crooked maws. Despite their size, hypnovulfen are shockingly stealthy, able to stalk their prey and snare them with a hypnotic gaze from the shadows. The gaze beguiles victims into seeing a loved one beckoning them closer for a warm embrace. All the better for a hypnovulfen to feed and consume the unfortunate morsel’s memories.

Secret. Hypnovulfen have no power to mesmerize anyone holding a keepsake or memento received from a loved one, as it overpowers the false beckoning of the monster’s gaze.
