Shade Stalker

Bestiary entry by Aldric Shadowmark, Grand Hunters Lodge

Classification: Void Assassin
Habitat: Shadows everywhere
Threat Level: Very Dangerous

Description

Elite predators of the void, Shade Stalkers are humanoid shadows with elongated limbs and claws of crystallized darkness. They can fold themselves into any shadow, traveling instantly between patches of darkness.

Behavior

Shade Stalkers are patient hunters, observing targets for days before striking. They prefer to kill silently, dragging bodies into shadow where they feed undisturbed. Some serve greater void powers as assassins.

Combat Notes

Eliminate all shadows in the area before engaging. Magical light that cannot be extinguished is essential. They retreat from overwhelming illumination. Cold iron weapons cause them pain.
