The Nalusa Falaya, descriptions vary, but they all share similarities. It stands unnaturally tall, its limbs thin and angular, like a body stretched beyond human proportions. Its movements are disturbingly smooth, almost like it’s gliding rather than walking. And its color—a black so deep it seems to absorb light itself—defies reality. This creature is also sometimes described in the same way but as a mist.  

Those who’ve encountered the Nalusa Falaya often describe an overwhelming feeling of being watched, though it has no eyes to see, no mouth to speak, and no features at all. Witnesses say its head tilts slightly, as though it’s studying you, measuring you, waiting for something. And it doesn’t make a sound—not the snap of a twig, not the crunch of leaves. It is silent, some stories also say this creature doesn’t move, when you look away and look back it sometimes gets closer, others say it will drop to the ground kind of dissolve and appear as a snake or snake like being that moves quickly.

"The Choctaw say the Nalusa Falaya waits at the edges of light and shadow, luring the unwary into darkness. It doesn’t need to chase or attack. Its stillness is its weapon. The closer you are, the heavier the air becomes, until it feels like you’re suffocating under its gaze. Elders warn: 'Do not look at it too long. If you see it, it sees you, and it might follow you home.'
