Characteristics

These phantom like fiends haunt remote ruins such as the Moonmirror Tower, and hardly take physical damage thanks to their fading form. Screeching as they slash with ghastly claws, Shadows are a spooky sight for unexpecting adventurers. The let loose a cool breath to bathe the party in a chilly wicked wind.
