Does it exist
Commander (EDH) forum

I have made a commander deck around Doran, the Siege Tower called Fat Bottom Trees.
I want to use the skulk mechanic in order to get around blockers. However as I am relatively new to magic I have come to understand that I might be able to use the keywords of Fear or Intimidate. Do cards (artifacts or enchantments) exist that are able to give all my creatures either of these key words.
I do have Behind the Scenes in the deck.
One of the main appeals of Doran is that your creatures are innately defensive. This makes attacks pretty profitable already under Doran. That Silklash Spider is pretty darn threatening on its own. You shouldn't need unblockability, but Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa is pretty good for you.

For skulk there is Behind the Scenes and Skeleton Key
For intimidate there is Nim Deathmantle, Gruesome Deformity, Grisly Transformation, and Executioner's Hood
For fear there is Cover of Darkness, Dirge of Dread, Intimidation, Ebony Charm, Profane Command, Sleeper's Guile.
There's also Odric, Lunarch Marshal who copies keywords, Odric, Master Tactician who allows you to declare no blockers, Akroma's Memorial which has flying and pro two colours, a kind of evasion.

Bellowing Tanglewurm gives green creatures intimidate.

Thanks for the help pskinn01 TheDevicer Simon_Williamson.
I am relatively new to magic and commander so I am always looking for a bit of guidance.

You can look up the key words fear and intimidate on almost any site with a card database to find relevant cards.

I did have a look on gatherer and it was a like a 20 page list with most of the cards being rubbish. I thought it would be more efficient to ask more knowledgeable others because they tend to have other solutions I haven't thought about. Akroma's Memorial being an example.

The thing is, the people here have only learned about these cards from doing said research and no one has the same opinion on cards as you so if you want to find cards tailored specifically to your needs than researching the relevant cards would be in your best interest.

Intimidation is one
