Summary[]
Mysterious beasts that are able to become one with shadows, practically becoming omnipresent in dark places such as caves and are the most dangerous during the night. Because of their nature, they are invulnerable to all physical methods of attack. However, objects and abilities that can produce light are extremely effective against them and are able to disperse them from the surrounding shadows, although they will regain this structure whenever it is possible.
Shadow Beasts are the remains of the dead whose souls has been trapped in Limbo and are unable to escape due to grievous sins. Thus, whatever remained of them in the physical world exists solely as an intangible shadow with no recognition to what they once were, no longer having any will.

Speed: Speed of Light (Exists as a shadow, thus they are capable of moving at the speed of light), Nigh-Omnipresent in darkness (Shadow Beasts are able to completely encompass an area of darkness, making traveling at night or in caves extremely dangerous, and is heavily recommended to have several methods to produce light at all times when traveling in dark places)
Lifting Strength: Inapplicable (Shadow Beasts can be considered 2-dimensional creatures as they exist as a mere reflection on a surface, thus they do not possess any physical strength by 3-dimensional standards. They can, however, appear as a 3-dimensional shadow, but they still do not possess any kind of physical strength)
