cowled

Draped in hood

Cowled describes something wearing or having a cowl—a hood or hooded cloak, especially the kind worn by monks.

The word evokes mystery or anonymity: a cowled figure emerged from the shadows.

It can also describe hood-shaped coverings on objects: the cowled ventilator on the roof.
