Shadows are incorporeal undead that were once alive, but now hate those that live with a burning passion. They skulk around the shadows, waiting to pounce on unsuspecting victims.[3] They are found on the plane of Mabar, the Endless Night.[4]
Description[]
Shadows are floating humanoid-shaped entities composed of darkness. They can be hard to find in dark, gloomy corners, but become obvious in bright environments.[3]
Personality[]
Shadows hate life and light, and seek to devout both. They lie in ambush for prey, but are quick to strike when they decide to.[3]
Abilities[]
They are incorporeal, and attacks tend to pass right through them. Their touch drains the strength of their foes, and any humanoid that dies by their touch becomes a shadow as well. They possess darkvision, as well as other traits common to all undead.[3]
Notable Shadows[]
- Baron Elar d'Thuranni has two shadows, Wrem and Wrek, that act as his bodyguards.[5]
