  Non-standard decays of the Higgs boson produced at the Large Hadron Collider
can lead to signatures which can easily be missed due to non-adapted trigger or
search strategies. Keeping electroweak symmetry breaking Standard Model-like we
classify the phenomenology of an evasive Higgs boson into three categories and
discuss how they can be described in an effective field theory. We comment on
how one can improve the search strategies to also detect such an evasive Higgs.
