Night creatures are identified as a humanlike creature, unusually appealing, with black hair, pale skin, and very dark eyes. Often can be confused with the folklore version of a vampire, although there are not two fangs, but all around pointy teeth. They are usually only active at night unless desperately hungry.
At night, the night creature lays in hiding, waiting for a victim of the opposite sex to wander by. When they do, the creature's eyes become glowing red and it attacks by tackling and pinning down its victim with great strength and speed. When the victim is down and stuck, the creature will then try to either seduce, or frighten the victim depending on the creature's need. If seducing to get a mate fails, the night creature will try to frighten the victim instead.
The night creature ultimately needs a mate in order to pass on the bloodline. When they find the right victim, they will attack as so and plant a kiss on them. The kiss sends a toxin to the brain that controls the victim's body, rendering them to the total control of what the creature wants to do with it. If the victim is then made to be the creatures mate by being hopelessly raped, they turn into a night creature themselves and are tied by a bond with their attacker 'til either of their deaths. The victim and the attacker then spend the rest of their lives together populating and hunting together.
If the night creature is on a hunt for food, then when the victim wanders by the night creature attacks, kisses them, and then tries to get the victim to look into their eyes. The kiss can control all of the victim's body except their mind and their eyes. If successful, their eyes can send you into a lucid nightmare of your worst fear. If you succumb to the nightmare and your fear, you fall into a deep coma the night creature then feasts on you.
If you, on the contrary, can overcome the nightmare and your fear and wake up from the dream, you become the master of the creature. This allows you to be able to use it as a weapon (or pet/servent, depending on how you look at it), being able to tell it when to attack, to cease attack, and eventually be able to tell it to use specific powers it has as you become more experienced and attached to the creature.
The only way to kill a night creature is to slit its wrists with a silver blade.
There is no way to undo a master/slave relationship except if the creature or the master is killed.
Night creatures have the same longevity as humans.
