Origin[]
The Sneak is a demonic creature who sneaks into a person's bedroom at night after peeking in the window. It's about 3-4 feet in height, with bright red skin and pair of horns on its head.
The Sneak laughs and dances before the individual's eyes, causing a terror-filled night without sleep. His appearance is followed by a night of "stepping out" to partake of unusual foods that cause discomfort. "Mince pies and rarebits" are mentioned by name. He cannot be grabbed, and floats in the air "like a white ghost". It's presence is often accompanied by the sound of a hooting owl.
Powers and Abilities[]
The Sneak can float through the air, acts as an immaterial entity, and can cause fear and insomnia in those it decides to haunt. It exhibits great speed and agility.
