The Crooked One

The tall humanoid rose at least ten feet tall. It's arms and legs were bent in odd shapes and at odd angles. Its neck made a clear snapping sound as it gazed upon Team Zephyr. A jagged black hat rose higher into the sky, making the thing look way taller than it actually was. 

'What's that?' Evan asked, unable to hide his fear. Shadows draped around the crooked humanoid legs. The thing didn't move, but it slowly forced a harsh and crooked smile at the group. Its coat billowed, releasing five shadows around it. The shadows rose and five stringed puppets appeared. The crooked creature's teeth began to chatter, and the five puppets all lifted their heads in unison and rushed at Team Zephyr.
