Who are the creatures that come out at sundown?

Who & What the Creatures Are

1. Humanoid monsters These beings appear human in daylight or when approaching, often using disguises or pretending to be familiar people. At night they reveal grotesque forms—claws, jagged teeth, greyish skin—and become violent predators.

2. Nocturnal hunters They strictly operate after dark, hunting the residents of the town. They lurk in the forest and underground tunnels during the day.

3. They can’t enter protectively talisman-kept places Doors or houses with talismans around entrances act as protection. However, open windows or doors can allow them inside.

4. Intelligence & psychological manipulation The creatures know the residents’ names, exploit personal fears, even impersonate loved ones to get people to let them in.

5. Immortal / rebirth cycle Even when killed, creatures come back—often reborn through a bizarre pod system. Season 3 reveals that many made a pact involving sacrificing children in exchange for eternal life, making their death impossible in the traditional sense.

6. Due to a child sacrifice pact The residents once sacrificed their children, believing it would give them eternal life. That deal seems tied to the creatures' nature.
