Cuco are malevolent creatures standing four to five feet tall, draped in black tattered robes with large hoods that shroud their mottled red skin and red, glowing eyes. With sharp claws, long fangs, and a hunger for terror, Cuco embody an aura of fear and malevolence, striking terror into the hearts of those unfortunate enough to cross their path.

Not only is their physical presence formidable with their unnatural agility and ability to jump great heights, but their insidious nature feeds on the terror they evoke in their victims. Drawing sustenance from fear and panic, Cuco thrive on the horror they generate, savoring the terror before consuming the victim’s eyes and brain, adding a gruesome and macabre aspect to their predatory nature.

Cuco are adept nocturnal hunters, emerging under the cover of darkness to stalk and hunt their prey, utilizing their enhanced agility and stealth to strike from the shadows. Their presence is marked by fear and dread, with their red eyes piercing through the darkness, instilling paralyzing terror in those who encounter them, knowing that they are mere moments away from becoming prey to these sinister and malevolent creatures.
