Shadow Creature

He moves like a shadow
Stealthy like he was made of it
In one jump he can clear whole meadow
Or a rock of hundred feet

His looks are dreadful yet awesome
His looks fill soul with such terror it’s as if it was set a blaze
He moves and behaves like a phantom
But his agility will amaze

He has exoskeleton protecting him
Like armor of steel
If you see his visage chances of escape are grim
And his shadowy figure his approach will conceal 

Is he an alien or a fallen spirit?
Or something else with his strange armor connected to every joint
Many people fear it
Maybe it is unknown itself unknown from every view point
