maskniles are enemy dreamers found only in the silent lake, they are a stronger counterpart of the bowbows. their stats are 366 HP, 10 attack, and 0 defence. unlike common bowbows, maskniles are quite aggressive, violent, 'nd 've a predatory and bloodthirsty attitude. they usually use a baseball bat or a bowie knife as their main weapon. they tend to appear in groups or pairs, as they are self-reliant 'nd prefer to help their own kind rather than other dreamers. they often fight amongst themselves due to various problematic disputes, as they tend to have a rather mediocre hierarchy and even practice incest as 'mething normal, despite the potential problems this could cause or their offspring 'coming future amalgams. 'me maskniles try to get by without bein' violent 'nd abusive in most cases. 'cause of this, kelapa 'nd her cast disapprove of the actions of maskniles, considerin' them a harmful 'nd abusive species. there are also posters that warn 'bout them. dreamers in the silent lake. 'fter completin' board world on the neutral/pacifist route, these dreamers are recruited in funky town. the bowbows try to help them improve their quality of life, so the maskniles accept the deal. a sastiyatsa nurse says their determination level is quite unbalanced, however, they can still survive for an extended period with medication and therapy. in chapter 5, a masknile makes lewd and explicit advances toward chiara and beret, even attemptin' to blackmail them into somethin' more intimate. however, an amokuroro notices this and puts him in funky town prison for tryin' to corrupt young dreamers. this causes most of the dreamers to see the maskniles as a kind of social danger more than anythin' else. In the frozen' route, these dreamers attempt to attack the party, however, they are frozen by nano at the end of the battle, and their current where'bouts are unknown. (these dreamers are amon' those who, if frozen or fleein' without bein' recruited, will not affect the route, as they are considered a danger) they are dreamers with a more slender 'nd taller build than a bowbow, possessing black fur beneath their tattered blanket. underneath this blanket, their stubby, elongated paws and tail are visible. their blanket is reddish-orange, adorned with small buttons and a rope 'round their neck and elongated arms. their weapon varies, rangin' from a broken brown baseball bat to a gray bowie knife. they possess that appears to be a hood with a square openin' 'nd small white eyes, a W-shaped mouth, an aggressive expression, and elongated, antenna-like ears. they could be the dreamification/imitation of slashers/serial killers from various horror films that may have been shot at the autumnside cinema. their card on their dojo FighterZ reads as follows: type of bein': dreamer. categories: dream dog, canine, redmoon affected being, molester. description: "dream canines corrupted by the redmoon 'nd found only in silent lake, don't seem to have any hobbies other than abusin' their power, corrupted by the redmoon. their family hierarchy is one of the most problematic in the entire dreamworld, as they resort to incest, strange paraphilias such as engagin' in lewd acts with their offsprin' or blackmailing cubs into engagin' in lewd 'nd violent acts with them, and a host of other things that have transformed them into aberrant bein's in the entire dreamworld. this is 'cause, havin' been corrupted by the redmoon, these dreamers lost all their decency, causin' a kind of invisible extinction, since future offspring are actually amalgams. due to their unhealthy lifestyle, they often resort to cannibalism to try to survive and steal food from other dreamers. even so, they fail to save their species, 'nd it is expected that each of their members will gradually die off. maskniles try to progress their lives like normal bowbows, however, they cannot stop bein' ignored 'nd treated like dutt by broken members of their species, ''cause of this, kelapa, her cast and other dreamers of the board world detest them 'cause of the actions they highlight''
