description: 'Weird and paranoid creatures that dwell in the Darklands, cloakers resemble
  hideous, flying manta rays. Crafty and careful hunters, their motivations, their
  patterns of attack, and even their societies and history are often an inscrutable
  jumble of contradicting reports, confused rumors, and terrifying accounts.




  Like many of the stranger creatures of Golarion, cloakers were originally created
  by the alghollthus, who bred them to spy on their Azlanti thralls. Upon the fall
  of the Azlanti empire, the alghollthus cast out their cloaker creations, who, in
  turn, fled to the lower reaches of the Darklands. Amid the vaults and twisted corridors
  of their new home, their attitudes—particularly regarding their apprehension toward
  their former masters—changed dramatically. Suspicion became paranoia, egotism, sadism,
  and much worse. Now, most cloakers lead solitary lives, stalking the Darklands for
  easy prey and delving deeper into internal horrors. Their paranoia is so great that
  they interact only rarely even with their own kind, encountering another cloaker
  only briefly to mate before flitting back to isolation.




  But there are exceptions. Every so often, a charismatic cloaker priest can call
  together a dark cabal of these creatures and other Darklands denizens to worship
  unspeakable ancient gods. These rare cloakers whip their acolytes and followers
  into a frenzy of dark rituals and heinous acts. While these cults are depraved and
  destructive, they rarely survive longer than their founder.
