skulkers
Those who sneak
Skulkers are people who move furtively or hide to avoid notice or responsibility.
The word carries connotations of cowardice or sneakiness—someone lurking in shadows rather than facing things directly: The skulkers waited until the patrol passed.
In military contexts, skulkers are soldiers who shirk duty or avoid combat.
