PRU Ten Most Wanted Slasher

Dream Stalkers are the souls of horrible slashers who have died by being burned to death. With such a particular set of circumstances, Dream Stalkers are very rare. It’s a good thing too, as they are incredibly powerful and extremely difficult to combat. The fire initiation is apparently a requirement to get into hell. It’s hot there, so Dream Stalkers come in primed and ready to return to the Prime Material Plane. Or something like that.

DESCRIPTION

Quote: "How sweet, fresh meat!"
Stalking Grounds: Dreams (duh).
Physical Description: Dream Stalkers have horrible, scarred forms and wear ugly fedoras. They like to wear bladed gloves and sing to themselves a lot. Others go for a more creative approach and appear in whatever stylized form happens to freak out their victims.
Cravings: Dream Stalkers like killing people in their dreams. The name might have been the first hint.
Behavior: Dream Stalkers are sarcastic. They're fond of awful puns and, given that they can pretty much turn into anything in the dream realm, they aren't afraid of backing up their irritating quips with special effects. They're a real carnival show all right.
Danger: Dream Stalkers are bad news. They are prone to killing people in their sleep and preying on people with overactive imaginations. They can also pull groups of dreamers together and then kill them off all at once. The only way to avoid this sort of thing is to not fall asleep. Which is kind of tough to do if you happen to be human.
Tactics: Fighting Dream Stalkers on their own turf is futile. Although it's possible to turn the tables by say, playing on the Dream Stalker's own worst fears, it takes a tough mind to pull it off. Usually the best tactic is to take out the Dream Stalker in the real world first. Sometimes this involves dragging them into the real world; in other cases it involves destroying their remains.
