Black lips

Black Lips is an NPC in , encountered twice by the player character during the endgame sequence.

Profile
Black Lips is an extra-dimensional being that visits the character twice during the final sequence of events transpired in Stygian. It takes the form of a disembodied set of eyes, along with a gleaming pair of grimacing, ghastly black lips. According to the being itself, its speech portends doom.

The black-lipped entity presents itself as an ally, offering its assistance in return of a “toll.” The toll in question is a blood sacrifice (referred to as the "Crimson Toll"), intended to weaken the character and their allies before the promised aid is given. The Black Lips warn that the Crimson Toll will be paid twice before the end, the first lighter than the second. Other than that its intentions are clearly malign, the full extent of the entity’s motivations are never revealed.
