solravehmods | Bestiary : Shadows

The Queen's Fronline Army Minions of the Queen, they are all horned creatures made of pure mist and darkness. They vary in size and visual appearance as well as in certain behaviors, but they all serve the same basic purpose: to keep those who would bring light to the castle from doing so. They emerge from a dark and yet some how glowing portal usually in a corner of whatever area they're in at the time, and fly or skitter about trying to grab whomever they have targeted. Though made of mist they seem to have at least somewhat solid forms - solid enough to strike and cause harm and be struck in turn. Though pure light is the most efficient and absolute form of dispatching them, they are not completely impervious to other means. It simply takes longer to get rid of them. Once dispatched they will fade in to nothingness. Keep your ears open, there is a very distinct noise that signals the beginning of a Shadow attack.

Sentinels

Sentinels always come in pairs. They are strong, even stronger than Fortress Ghouls, with wings capable of carrying themselves and a captured person to boot. If they are able to get their claws on a person they will often carry them out of reach before taking them to a portal.

Danger Level

•••••★★★★★

The Horned Boys are a special type of shadow that appear very, very rarely in the Sarcophagus room only. Not much is known about them at this time, just that when they do appear they're suspiciously non-violent, a stark contrast to their other shadow counterparts.
