The Abúhukü

One of my personal favorite foes for the game, the Abúhukü, or Blood Sucker is a horrifying creature from South American folklore. This creature was clearly the inspiration for the Predator (of movie fame). Just read what this thing does to it's unfortunate victims:

Sneaking into villages under cover of darkness to attack peaceful sleepers, they cut a small hole in the back of the skull and suck out the blood and vital fluids. Even if one survives an abúhukü attack, they may still sicken and die, wracked with intense fever and painful rashes. Curiously, abühuwa do not attack infants or very young children; rather, they will often abduct them and attempt to raise them as their own.

I feel like Brenda really captured the creepiness of this creature in her illustration - it was great fun watching this one come together from the concept art to the final artwork.
