Slender Man
Fictional character created on the internet.

Slender Man, or Slenderman (in Portuguese: Homem Esguio - free translation), is a fictional supernatural character that originated as a creepypasta created by user Eric Knudsen (also known as "Victor Surge") on the Something Awful discussion forum in 2009. He is described as resembling a thin, abnormally tall man with a white head, expressionless, and wearing a black suit. Stories about the character commonly portray him as a stalker or kidnapper of people, primarily children. Slenderman is not limited to a single narrative but appears in many disparate works of fiction, mostly composed online.

Description
Slender Man is described as very tall and thin, with abnormally long arms that can extend to intimidate or capture prey. He has no face, his head is white, and he wears a black suit. He is usually associated with the forest. He can erase the memory of his prey, as well as cause hallucinations and despair in his victims, making them easy and quick to capture.

Cultural impact
Slender Man is considered "the first great myth of the web." Slender Man is the subject of numerous recreations and works in pop culture; one of the famous facets of his fame is his various games, a notable example being Slender: The Eight Pages, a 2012 video game that, in 2013, reached 2.1 million downloads on its official Atomic Gamer website page.
