Dev Yapping: Monster Design

Hey horror fans! I wanna talk about the Others, the monsters the GM gets to play against the party in The Veil is Torn. Each one is based upon an established horror trope, and each has a specific method for being defeated. I only have 4 thought up currently, and would like to have 6 for the full release, so if you have any ideas/suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
