Template:Infobox Pirori (a.k.a. Shadow Men) are a type of NPC found in many different places in the dream world. They are presumed to be denizens of the Barracks Settlement that have spread out across the dream world.
They are vaguely humanoid creatures with two arms and legs, but no face. Instead, their heads have large cavities through them that resemble the eye of a needle. They appear in a variety of forms, depending on their chosen habitation. The regular Pirori that inhabit the Barracks settlement are a deep shade of mauve, whereas the sewer Pirori are a much paler shade, possibly and adaptation to the lack of sunlight. In the FC world, Pirori take on an 8-bit style appearance and are more grey in color.
Interaction
When interacted with, Pirori respond to Madotsuki by making a three-note chime that varies between individuals. In the FC world, they make a more muted, 8-bit tone, and sewer Pirori are silent.
In addition, some Pirori have the abiliity to teleport Madotsuki. In the Barracks settlement, one Pirori is randomly selected per dream to take madotsuki to the Pirori territory in the FC world. The lone Pirori in The Docks A will teleport Madotsuki into the Wilderness just outside of the Barracks Settlement.
