I came across an absolutely perfect word the other day: Crepuscular, which means pertaining to twilight, or as an adjective, involved with twilight, as in"he was a crepuscular creature, most active in the time immediately after sundown." The word is from from the Latin word for "twilight", but it calls to mind the word creep, in that I can picture someone or some menacing creature crawling around in the near darkness -- even though creep is from a Middle English or Germanic word related to the concept of "lowdown."
I think one could write a whole story, or even a book, about such a creature, titling it simply, "The Crepuscular."
Of course, The Crepuscular Creatures would be a perfect name for a rock band.
