Species: Formless Shadow

Family: Living Shadow

Risk level: High

Weaknesses: Death of the host

Description: Like lower ranked members of its family, before it is bonded to someone it takes form of pudle of shapeless shadowmass. When connected it immediately takes form of its owner's shadow and permanently transforms into it. This stage is the easiest one, where you can kill it by sending its host to the early afterlife.

After that it only gets harder, until after one day when the shadow completely takes over its host's consciousness. When it gets to that, the shadow inherits all the memories of the original and transforms its body to better accommodiate it. It makes it much more dexterous and also grands it basic shadow abilities like nigh invulnerability, turning back into shadow, walking on walls and ceilings and simply shapeshifting. It makes it very hard to catch or interact in any way due to their high inteligence and their very secretive ways of doing anything.

If it manages to fully take over human body it is required to inform as many monster hunting organisations as possible and request hunts of highest priorities.

Personal notes: "Virtually immortal before connecting with someone and after full transformation. If not quickly dealt with can cause irreparable damages to our people. They can outsmart even the best strategists and have enough abilities to make them almost impossible to catch. After they take full control of the host we can only pray that they decide to leave and never bother us again." Unnamed member of Knights of Erdeic Order
