Why do the shadow creatures teleport so much?

When I encountered it for the first time I ran/walked away from it and noticed that it would teleport around when I didn't look at it.

After finding a better position higher up meaning it couldn't kill me I did some testing with it (aka looking around to see if it would teleport). And it would just teleport around that area which made me feel unsafe because now I couldn't even keep track of where it was when walking around.

And then in the section with the orange smoke one of them just appears infront of me and kills me without me having any time to react or even space to avoid it.

Well, it would be a little too easy if they didn't have some kind of trick. When they spawn in the open where you can keep track of them they're very easy to avoid. However sometimes like up at the bone mountain caves or in the orange fog they will strike with no warning which is very frustrating.

Just started the game tonight and noticed the musical cues are mondo heavy. Sometimes they might mean a little avalanche. Sometimes something more spooky. Was there a music cue around when the anomaly appeared?

Forget those things! I just try to run as fast as possible and hope it doesn't get me lol.
