Hello /x/
I'm from /tg/ and have been trying to get my players deeper into the aspects of roleplaying and immersion.
Mainly we play pathfinder, which is a generic fantasy setting, as well as call of cthulhu, which is based (surprise surprise) on arkham horror.
In a pathfinder game I was running, my players ran into a pack of skinwalkers. After being stalked through the woods by the troup of shapeshifting predators, they were trapped in a house with a kindly family. during the siege, they got to know the family, and the family helped them escape.
too bad that when they went back, they found out that the skinwalkers didn't spare the family.
The point of this post is to ask you for help populating my world with more spooks and cryptids to scare the shit out of my players with.

Do you include Grabblers in your game? Those things are pure fucking evil, man. Scary shit.

part of the reason I'm posting here is because I'm not too well versed on cryptid. What are grabbers?
>>17476877
He's just fucking with you. Grabblers are jews. If you have antisemitic players it's a good way to get them more involved
>>17476877
They're greedy, hook-nosed creatures who want to destroy the entirety of the human race. They blend into human societies and feign innocence so well that they actually get a strong grip of control over large populations.

Don't skinwalkers shapeshift?
Wouldn't it have been more fun for them to return to the family only to find them acting just a little off. Then the players would have to figure out if the family was replaced by the skinwalkers and if they were comfortable attacking people/something that looked like the ones who helped them.

by the time they had returned, after traveling with a skin walker (another player had force fed it a high power love potion) they dubbed the "Friendwalker" they had gotten very good at noticing skinwalker behavior

Have them move up to goatman and then wendigos. Also, I've had success immersing my players in the past by having the appropriate background music playing for what I wanted them to feel.
Deer Woman, vampires of whatever form, parasitic sentient fungus or giant insects, faeries (scary kind), the frog god, Pork Men, the Black Dog, ghosts, tentacle monsters from outer space, literal demons, witches, murderous unicorn, a Roc, creepy mindfucking shadow people, World of Darkness style Promethians (Frankenstein's monster type thing), a mummy, snake cultists, bodysnatchers.
