{{quote|''So I noticed you lost your cloak...what's up with that?''}}

''The brooch of your cloak suddenly unclasps itself, causing it to suddenly unfurl and, even more surprisingly, to snarl at you with unmistakable menace. Your attempts to escape from the cloak’s folds proves fruitless as it tightens around you, and once your head has been pulled down into the ‘cloth’ you come face to face with a pair of scarlet eyes illuminating a line of needle-like teeth. You thank your lucky stars the rest of the party already succumbed to their injuries; you wouldn’t want anyone telling the story of how you got killed by your own apparel.''

Cloakers are enigmatic beings that are able to slip through even the most vaunted of defenses through very inconspicuous means. Capable of impersonating a traveler’s cloak that possesses magical properties, they swiftly find their way into the hands of adventurers and seek to acquire knowledge and power wherever they go. Their long-term goals are unknown, but as with most intelligent aberrations it likely isn’t anything good. While cloakers do travel with adventurers, they are by no means friendly creatures, only aiding their wearers so long as it suits them and often betraying them to end up in the custody of a stronger owner.
