Anomaly 116 aka Shadow on the Wall is an incorporeal shadow that feeds on the fear and flesh of its victims. How it feeds is currently unknown.
It chooses a neighborhood at random and chooses a random location to hold out in. Its most common location would be the darkest location in the area, like a shadowy alley or factory. Its preferred prey are transients. In broad daylight, it is stationary in a more passive state. When the sun goes down, it is more active. It lures its prey by making a whispering sound. It then gets close to its intended victim showing themselves as a silhouette against the night. When right on top of their victim, they show their white eyes and mouth and chitter at them by gashing their teeth.
No remains will be recovered from their victims.
When bright light falls upon its form, it releases a blood curdling scream and its body starts to burn. Over this time, its body will convert into a solid state where it can be interacted with or destroyed by any other means other than light.
