    Shadow knife (d6 damage) HP equal to the damage that created it 1 armor
    Close, Ignores Armor
    Special Qualities: It is created by the Shadow Puppeteer to attack and kill its enemies.

    A shadow that either attacks independently, or through an animated puppet or marionette. Its sole drive is to kill, swarming its opponents with overwhelming force. Instinct: To kill

  • Shadow Doppelganger Group, Magical, Intelligent
    Shadow touch (2x[source character damage die] damage) 10 HP Armor = source character's
    Close, Near
    Special Qualities: Mimic

    Your shadow detaches from you, lightening from darkness into grays, then muted colors, until it takes a form indistinguishable from yours. In perfect mimicry of your voice, it speaks to your companions. Weakness: It cannot harm its own source character. Instinct: To destroy its source and take its life and identity.

    • Mimic a living creature
    • Transfer half of all damage it takes to its source character

  • Shadow Puppeteer Solitary, Organized, Intelligent
    Life absorption (1d8 damage) 12 HP 0 armor
    Close, Ignores Armor, Near

    A shadow-touched puppeteer with rictus-like grin and deep-set eyes, the Puppeteer summons minions of shadow to do its bidding, perhaps even imbuing its lifelike marionettes with the stolen life force of its victims. Instinct: To convert life into shadows

    • Summons shadow puppets to do its bidding
    • Each time it deals damage, it summons a Shadow Puppet with hit points equal to the damage it dealt.

  • The Shadowblooded Solitary, Small, Magical, Stealthy, Intelligent
    Absorbs the life force of others through its touch (d12 damage) 16 HP 4 armor
    Close, Ignores Armor, Near

    It appears as someone innocent, usually a child. Beneath its clothes, one might see a deep hole in its chest, with black mist where the heart should be. This mist seeps out during its attack, enshrouding its victim. Instinct: To absorb life

    • It steals life from others
    • Enthralls its victims through its innocent-seeming eyes.
    • Turns into black mist to escape (there is a way to trap it... what is it?)
