skulker

Dracula is just a skulker who delivers a bite on the neck—a regular, gory, ardent human bite.

Gradually he connected the skulker in the third row with the occasional byline above movie reviews.

"Come out o' that now, ye skulker!" roared a voice down the companionway.

When the time arrives for action he is no skulker.

I am not afraid of these skulkers any longer.
