Monster: Shadow

Monster: Shadow

Shadows are lesser incorporeal undead creatures that can create shadows from killed victims. Never been fond of these things in D&D. Also, I find it peculiar, that the shadows did not have anything like Shadow Form advantage/disadvantage in the original source, even though they look two-dimensional on their art.
