I made a monster to smooch, but im unsure what to name them.

(Holy shit got this done in time where I am)

Many words echo throughout the hamlet known as Marrowwood, a small village to the east bordered by a mighty forest. It's a beautiful town with lovely people...lovely people willing to send outsiders to the slaughter to protect themselves. For as long as anyone could remember, when the first settlers arrived they were hunted. A mighty beast resided in the forest, deep...deep within the woodland's heart. "Those who wander the forest at night, beware when the wisps enter your sight. Followed by the scent of burned wood and ozone does this beast now hunt you." Any encounters with this forest demon end in one way...death, no human has ever survived their encounter, no human weapon could ever pierce it's hide. Many wonder if it's merely bidding it's time...tolerating the humans within it's territory...

Name: Atrocitas.

Gender: Agender (It/Its pronouns).

Species: Forest demon.

Age: Eons old/Ancient.

Personality

.A scarily intelligent being, it has knowledge of many things long passed with the intuition to match. .Being what it is, Atrocitas is a surprisingly honest being. It is one to hold to it's word and deal if it ever so happens to lose. .Does have a sense of humor mainly towards dark or disturbing subjects, but it mainly finds itself laughing at the humans trying to escape. .While VERY RARELY merciful, if you can somehow prove you're worth while it just might spare your life. How you can prove such is unknown though, it's mercy is mainly used to play with victims. .A trickster, it loves to play with it's prey. Tormenting them to inflict as much mental anguish as it can. .VERY prone to violence and quite quick to anger. .Doesn't understand self-deprecating humor and won't take a playful joke towards itself. .A very hateful and silently conceited being. .Views most life below itself, weak, worthless. Very stubborn and nigh impossible to change it's mind.

Likes/Dislikes

Likes: .Inflicting suffering on and eating humans. .It's forest home. .Watching lesser beings plead for their lives in utter terror. .Gathering any soul no matter the kind for consumption. .Humans who can put a decent fight or chase, it's more fun that way. .The sound of rushing water. .Offerings. .Bells and chimes oddly... - Dislikes: .Humans, all of them. .Those who don't even try to run or fight, even the most deliciously terrified are boring if they don't run. .Holy objects or anything related to demon fighting. .Those who try to outsmart it and try to get out of their deals. .Any who dare make a mockery of them. .Humans trying to destroy it's forest, even cutting trees for fire wood enrages it. .Demon hunters, fools the lot of them. .The church of the capital city...?

Background/History

As stated before Atrocitas is an ancient being, it's existed for countless eons and would even recount days before humans. It doesn't despise humanity for some tragic past, it just views humans as weak and pathetic creatures that are just food to it and nothing more. It ruled this forest long before any of them came here like they owned the place. As for it's hate of the Church in the capital city, the love for bells...there was this one nun- "SILENCE! HUMANS DESERVE NOTHING OF MY HISTORY!!!"
