The Sleer

The Sleer is a fictional creature from the "Discworld" series by Terry Pratchett. It appears in the book "Eric" as a spectral being that guards a treasure buried in a magical, ancient place. Sometimes seen as a guardian and at other times as a terrifying presence, the Sleer embodies themes of duty, fear, and the weight of the past. Its complex nature reflects Pratchett's humor and insights into human behavior, making it a memorable element in his richly layered fantasy world.
