Notes

• When lightly or heavily obscure, it will blend shadows around it to become Invisible.
• Being incorporeal, it can't be Shoved, Thrown or used as an Improvised Melee Weapon. It is also immune to being knocked Prone.
• Rather than dropping loot, it leaves behind a Shadow Vestige on death that contains a trace of the life it led before it became transformed by the shadow curse.
