The Shades also referred to as Shadows are undead that form in the dark and drain the strength of living beings.
Biology[]
These spiritual manifestations are so dark that they are only detectable in very bright light, the rest of the time they look like ordinary shadows.
Its origin is magical: a magician cast a curse on a dead enemy and from there the first shadow arose. Shadows haunt ruins, graveyards, and dungeons ever since.
Shadows live between two planes; on the primary material plane (in which humans and other living beings live), in the form of a shadow, and on the negative material plane, in the form of the living being that it was before his death.
When they attack, their cold contact causes the victim's joints to go numb, leaving them almost paralyzed, also losing their senses of smell, touch and hearing. At that moment, the shadows begin to drain and manage to leave their enemy without energy. The victim passes to the negative material plane, leaving only her shadow on the primary material plane. Some victims die before they are completely drained and are then abandoned by the shadow.
The shadows are beings of low intelligence, however, they have excellent mobility so they can levitate at will and go unnoticed. They are immune to cold and certain spells and spells, such as sleep.
