A reflective predator that learns by watching.

Profile

An anomaly that inhabits reflective surfaces. It watches, learns, and begins to imitate—first posture, then intent. It does not “enter” the room; it replaces the certainty of what a surface should show.

Threat Pattern

  • Uses reflections as angles of approach—misleading distance and timing.
  • Adapts quickly: the longer it observes, the more precisely it mirrors.
  • Favors pressure and control over spectacle; it wins by narrowing options.

Continuity Notes

  • Reads as glass/shine/void rather than smoke.
  • When “strong,” it becomes more human-like, borrowing proportions from Sten.
  • PG‑13: tension through space, reflections, and near-misses.
