after a few more sketches, I finally got a design down for Snare. I prefer this one over the other since its a little more like a golem.

Snare is a spectral, alien, blob golem with a taste for just about anything. His Ghostly figure can phase in and out at will, but is quite fragile all around. However, his body will regenerates almost instantly after sustaining damage.

While this means a skilled prey could effectively claw their way out and attempt to escape, but his true strength lies in his persistence. Once his eyes land upon a target, he will track them for eternity until he either absorbs them completely or they present him with another target to pursue. Once he succeeds, he'll hind in the ground and poke out his light to lure another victim in to haunt.

However, he's not the fastest by any means, and he has many weaknesses, some of which are light and fire. Both burn him easily and force him to phase out. and don't think any sort of capture device or vaccumn will save you either, because once he's marked a target, he will gain the ability to warp to their very shadows.

Still haven't came up with an origin yet but I'll get there.
art and character are by me.
