📋 About This Mod
"Most humans would scream in terror if they saw someone like myself lurking in the dark."
Sen is a shadow guy that came from deep within the valley's mines. He was always told by his elders that the surface world was a brutal and unfriendly place, but he wondered if that was the full truth. Looking for answers, he ventured to the surface.
Upon reaching the surface, Sen met Krobus who helped him find a place to stay. He settled himself at home in the deep dark cave below the East Scarp inn, spending much of his time making costumes out of trash. He would wear these costumes to various events in the town so he could get a closer look at human life. However, his understanding only began to change once he met a certain human face to face.
