The Hidebehind is a mysterious, supposed nocturnal creature from American folklore. It is said to prey upon humans that wander the woods at night, and was credited for the disappearances of early colonial loggers when they failed to return to camp. Early accounts describe Hidebehinds as large, powerful animals, despite the fact that no one was able to see them.
The hidebehind can never be seen because he, well, hides behind things. If you feel like one is watching you and quickly turn around to catch it, the hidebehind will instantly disappear behind a tree—continuing the worst game of hide-and-seek you never asked to play.
When an observer attempts to look directly at it, the creature hides again behind an object or the observer and therefore can't be directly seen. The Hidebehind uses this ability to stalk human prey without being observed and to attack without warning. Once the person is killed, Hidebehinds drag them back to their lair to be eaten.
