The Taken are humans who have been possessed by the Dark Presence. Although they might still seem like their former self, however, they have become "mindless puppets"
Overview[]
Lost to darkness, Taken basically appear while covered in a strange black haze which protects them from harm; only light can destroy it, and they can not be safe. Taken will vanish without a trace once killed. They often carry around with them weapons such as an axe, a shovel or chainsaw.
