Now what do you think Zarnokath should look like?

Remember he is the main antagonist of this special, he is a demonic spirit who haunts the forest and preys on the souls of those who died in the forest and those who get lost in the forest as of means to survive, he is one of the most terrifying villains the Dreamkeepers have ever faced, his personality and character is inspired by The Beast from Over the Garden Wall, the Skullasaurus from Pooh's Grand Adventure, and the Demonic Spirit from Samurai Jack, his design is inspired by Sachiel from Neon Genesis Evangelion, No-Face from Spirited Away, and the Skullcrawlers from Kong: Skull Island. He has a deep, menacing, echoing voice and he is voiced by Tony Todd, we don't see Zarnokath right away, but we do hear his roars echo through out the haunted forest (just when the heroes realized that they are lost) given a sense that it's always around somewhere watching the gang and waiting for a chance to strike (similar to how they did it with the Skullosaurus in Pooh's Grand Adventure and the Abominable Snowman in Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer), this idea falls right into the tropes Hell Is That Noise, Nothing Is Scarier, and Dissonant Serenity, you see it builds up right until the moment Zarnokath is revealed (similar to how they did it with the Demonic Spirit from Samurai Jack), I wanted this demonic spirit to seem like something out of Japanese mythology, you know I want to trick the audience to think that this character is based on a spirit or entity of Japanese mythology
