The Slender Man, commonly stylized as Slenderman, is an urban legend, creepypasta and a character in various different media such as video games, webseries (known as ARGs), webcomics and movies. He is known by countless different names and personas, but it all started on June 10, 2009, when he was created by Eric Knudsen for a contest on the Something Awful forums.
The character blasted off into popularity, and soon enough, he was everywhere. Slender Man is most commonly known as a supernatural, often godlike entity that stalks, torments and eventually kidnaps or kills humans — usually children, teenagers and young adults, but he is known to have countless adult victims as well. Slender Man usually takes off with his victims into the unknown, but he is also known to have impaled victims on tree branches and removed their organs, placed them in a plastic bag and then back into the body.
Slenderman usually appears as the main antagonist of most media he appears in, but he is a secondary protagonist in the Pasta Monsters webcomic and is known to have assisted or even saved others before. In certain media, Slenderman explicitly targets individuals who have "sinned" or done wrong in his perspective, and punishes them for their deeds.

- The 8 Pages: The Pages are 8 pieces of paper that have crude drawings and warnings relating to Slender Man. The more pages you collect the more aggressive Slender Man becomes and the more prominent he becomes in your mind. Victims start to hear increasingly loud ambient noises and apparently thunderous footsteps while slowly becoming more obsessed with Slender Man. If the victim manages to collect all 8 pages then capture is almost guaranteed. If the victim survives this then they will be completely obsessed with the faceless horror, drawing pages of their own and panicking at the mere sight of him. It also makes them more vulnerable to becoming a proxy for Slender Man.
- Slender Walking: One of Slender man's most infamous of abilities, Slender Walking, is an ability of the Slender Man that allows him to appear and disappear at will, allowing him to teleport from one point to another virtually anywhere instantly and often without any physical indication of the teleportation.
- Slender Sense: Despite lacking facial features, Slender Man can sense when his victims are near at all times. This can be noted in both Slender and Slender: The Arrival, as he never hesitates and always has sight of the player (even when off-screen).
- Slender Stare: Kills enemies by having them look at him. Also overloads technology with static.
- Tendrils: Generates tendrils, tentacles, spider legs and/or extra appendages from his shoulders. Can also place hands on them.
- Pyrokinesis: Bends fire for various different effects. Can also control green and blue fire.
- Telepathy: Gains info from victims, reads their mind or communicates with them through the mind.
- Paranoia Fuel: Makes his victims become paranoid or go mentally/emotionally unstable.
