A Shadow is an Undead creature of darkness and the negative plane or the Domains of Dread. They are malign creatures that hate the living and the light.
Gameplay[]
These creatures relentlessly follow their prey, seeking to attack them with their partially substantial and flexible tendril-like shadow claws.
Each melee blow from a Shadow against any creature will temporarily drain an Attribute point of Strength. Multiple hits are additive and could lead to death by lowering strength to zero.
These creatures are not fully tangible on the prime plane, so are less hardy than many living beings. They are vulnerable to physical attacks, fire, and some magics.
Only an enchanted or Magical Weapon will be able to strike these creatures.
They are however immune to a number of elemental damage types and status effects, as itemized in the InfoBox.
