Does anyone have a physical description of these creatures?

All I could be told of their tracks were bipedal hoofprints.

I will update my above notes when I can.

Here's what I remember from stories I was told in Selendrias:

The Deloś-Feryth (Abhorrents of the Shade), or Umbral Stalkers were typically found in remote sections of the woods. Most of the stories centered around exploratory outposts in the deep woods, but them being bold enough to knock on doors and abduct people from their homes is an oddity that was only mentioned once in the many stories told about them.

They are cunning hunters, capable of using advanced hunting practices such as the ambushes Starling mentioned. Normally, they will hunt prey in small numbers, picking them off one by one, drawing fear and dread. Then they bring their victims to a hunting ground. According to survivors, they only kill their prey when they are their highest point of confusion and fear. According to veteran pathfinders back home, they are natural creatures with no magical signature. How they get their powers is unknown, as there is no discernable metaphysical aspect to them.

Something I noticed when facing them was that they do not like Sacred energy. It's not that they are weak to it, it's more that they don't like the light that comes from the power.

Is there any known connection to the Umbrae Viate, given their similar distaste for light?

Just how intelligent are they? Their hunting tactics, are they more like a pack of wolves, or do they seem to possess a level of intelligence that is on par with or possibly above that of people? Was there any kind of technique used in combat?

Kanas,
Are you sure there’s nothing metaphysical to them? Because the paranoia they cause in the area seems pretty damn magickal.

It all sounds like just some really weird Satyrs, but if you say that these things exist in Selendrian folklore then that is cause for concern.
