Darkener

The Darkeners are ghost-like creatures that inhabit chambers 2, 3, 4, 5, and 10 through 100. Their forms are ethereal and slightly transparent, giving the impression that they are barely tethered to the physical world. Inside their bodies, faintly glowing organs pulse with shades of purple and pink, almost as if they have a heartbeat of energy rather than flesh. They float silently through the chambers, their movements slow and deliberate, creating an unsettling presence for anyone who crosses their path. The Darkener was originally used as a model for a boss impersonation in the Mer video game, which is popular within the Valo universe. Though individually not particularly dangerous, groups of Darkeners can create a sense of tension and fear, as they seem to watch intruders without any clear motive, drifting closer with every step.
