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.
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.
