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. [4] They are found on the plane of Mabar , the Endless Night. [1]
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. [4]
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. [4]
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. [4]
Notable Shadows
- Baron Elar d'Thuranni has two shadows, Wrem and Wrek , that act as his bodyguards. [5]
