The Rake has a voice that instills terror to go with his appearance. It's entirely possible that there may be more than one, but let's '''not''' think about that.
A [[Film/TheRake2018 film]] based on this creature was released in 2018.
!! Associated tropes:
* ApocalypticLog: Every witness account of the creature given in the story can qualify as this.
%%* AxCrazy
* BeastMan: A really creepy variant; he's some sort of freakish, furless dog-man.
* BlackEyesOfEvil: Or white eyes (as pictured above).
* BodyHorror: His body is said to look twisted and unnatural, as if he was hit by a car.
* BreakThemByTalking: Whenever he's not killing, he's doing this to his victims.
* {{Crossover}}: Many more recent creepypastas like to involve both the Rake and [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos the Slender Man.]]
* DeathOfAChild: In the original pasta, one of the Rake's victims was a young child.
* DrivenToSuicide: One of the Rake's victims chose to hang himself rather than let the Rake get to him.
* {{Foil}}: The Rake and the Slender Man are near complete opposites of each other--Slender Man is a HumanoidAbomination that prefers to let teleporting and tentacle summoning do the killing for him, wears a suit, stands tall and silent at all times and has no clear motive to speak of. The Rake is an AnimalisticAbomination that uses fearsome claws as weapons, is nude, has a mangled, hunched over appearance mixed with a savage persona and has the ''very'' clear motive of killing whatever he comes into contact with.
** Additionally, when he ''isn't'' trying to straight up murder you, he likes to whisper terrible secrets to you rather than engage in any kind of telepathic assault.
%%* ForTheEvulz
* HumanoidAbomination: Although whether he counts as an EldritchAbomination is debatable.
** AnimalisticAbomination: How others view him.
* LovecraftCountry: The original story gives the location as the northeast United States, centred on rural New York.
* MonstrousHumanoid: Just look at its picture.
* Really700YearsOld: The earliest written record of an encounter with the monster dates from 1691.
%%* {{Sadist}}
* SanitySlippage: He instills fear in his victims while still in the stalking phase, causing them to experience this trope.
* SpellMyNameWithAThe: '''''The''''' Rake.
* KeeperOfForbiddenKnowledge: Apparently knows a lot of interesting, horrible things, as well as knowing future events. When he's not trying to kill you immediately, he may be [[BrownNote happy to share some.]] In ''WebVideo/WhisperedFaith'' he actually controls a cult by tempting them with his secrets.
* ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight: Actually averted in most cases, though he has the potential to be this way.
* TheUnintelligible: His voice is sometimes portrayed as this.
* UrbanLegend: Much like [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos the Slender Man]], he was made to become this.
