"Of sacred seal you did partake. Now your sight you must forsake."

- Tenebraug; The Unseen

Tenebraug[1] (also known as Tenebrauge) was a demon who would steal people's eyes when they look into the mystical Orb of Moldova.

History[]

Tenebraug is a demon enslaved by the Orb of Moldova.[2] Ancient druids believed this artifact was a holy talisman and used it in ceremonies to sacrifice human eyes to the gods, aiding them in watching over the human race.[3] In 1997, the Metropolitan Museum of Art acquired the Orb. When it arrived at the John F. Kennedy International Airport, a customs officer saw the orb and lost his eyes to Tenebraug. The Orb then was sent to its destination at the museum where William, the curator, and a cleaning woman saw the orb and lost their eyes as well. Egon Spengler tried to warn the woman not to look at the Orb beforehand, but was unable to because she did not speak English.

Egon Spengler instructed Kylie Griffin and Eduardo Rivera to convince the Metropolitan Museum Administrator to cancel the Orb's gala unveiling at 7 pm.[4] He was convinced after meeting Slimer, but it was too late. He had looked at the Orb already. As Kylie and Eduardo hid the administrator in a sarcophagus, Eduardo mistakenly looked at the Orb. Kylie closed her eyes and searched for it, then showed it to Tenebraug. This forced the creature to return all of the eyes it had stolen, leaving him blind. Knowing that Tenebraug would continue to use the Orb to steal sight from future victims, Eduardo destroyed the Orb. When the Orb was destroyed, Tenabraug was destroyed along with it and faded away.

Classification[]

Powers[]

When the Orb is seen, Tenebraug has the power to take his victim's eyes. Otherwise, he floats around in a cloud and can teleport at will.
