Unless he was short. Spoiler Okay Im sorry i haven’t made it clear It’s “humanoid” because it used to be human. It isn’t very big (but it is very very strong, and very feral.)

Then moves his torso out of the way and presses the button. It jerks away from the dagger when you stab it, and the other eye is pierced as the knife passes through it like butter. Black fog bleeds from the wound, and Strands grow from within the flesh, attempting to close it, but the fog killed them, withering them and rendering them ineffective. It looked around, confused and blinded. It doesn’t seem to understand it’s weakness.
