Darklings

Darklings are followers of Lord Bleak. In the 2020 reprint, they are called Dreadlings.

History
The Darklings were once a handsome, ordinary people, but the darkness inside their hearts was so strong it twisted and warped their features, revealing their true hideous nature. They loyally served their leader, Lord Bleak, and so were banished along with him to Castle Dread across the Black Sea when King Regal and Queen Jemma took over the Jewel Kingdom.

 * The Dreadlings in the 2020 reprint, rather than having "ugly, twisted features," look like normal people save for lifeless eyes resembling black jewels.
