Spring Heeled Jack is a hostile creature that can fly. It is based on an urban legend about a thief who keeps escaping the police because of his ability to jump very high, last seen in Liverpool, England. In-game the Spring-Heeled Jack has an average offensive and will attack everything, including the player. It's appearance is based on one of the portrayals of Spring-Heeled Jack, depicting a man in a black suit with a ribcage painted on the front, with wings for arms and a cap with a feather in it. Interestingly, in-game the Spring-Heeled Jack is portrayed as an actual creature, not a man in a suit made to look like a creature. When the creature walks it shakes around, and is the only humanoid to do this.
The synonym of Spring-Heeled Jack, Cryptid, is a term used to describe a creature or plant whose existance has been suggested but is unrecognised by scientific consensus, such as the Loch Ness Monster or the Yeti.
