cloaked figures
Hooded mysterious strangers
Cloaked figures are people wearing long, hooded garments that conceal their identities—a staple of gothic fiction, fantasy, and horror.
The phrase evokes mystery, menace, or supernatural presence: Cloaked figures emerged from the mist.
In real contexts, it describes anyone in concealing robes, from monks to protesters to cult members.
