Hidden
Creatures that are hidden are invisible to other creatures. They cannot be interacted with, but can still be struck at if the player force attacks in that direction.
Reason: Can non-player creatures search? Does Clairvoyance reveal lurkers within its AOE?
When a player character walks past a hidden creature, they search all adjacent tiles. A random number is rolled from 1 to the searcher's Intelligence, plus any additional bonuses to searching they may have. If this is greater than or equal to the hidden creature's difficulty, they will be revealed.[1] This search can be performed multiple times by stepping back and forth until the hidden creature is revealed. True Kin characters can install a penetrating radar implant to unerringly reveal any lurkers within its AOE.
Formula
Depending on the difficulty, the basic chance of successfully finding a hidden creature is:

Other Creatures That Can Hide
Sewage Eels
sewage eels behave slightly different from other lurkers. Rather than existing but in hidden state, eels initially are nothing but a spawner, due to which they cannot be attacked until successfully revealed.
Sultan Crocs
sultan crocs can become hidden after using their Submersion ability to submerge beneath a swim-depth pool of liquid.
