Shades are dangerous monsters that attack without warning. They wield the very same weapons that humans do, such as swords, shields, and sometimes armor, but also wield incredible magical powers of flight and fire. They are mindless beasts that kill for no reason, sometimes going as far as to maim and desecrate bodies into a pulp once they have satisfied their murderous compulsions. Shades usually travel in packs, with several smaller-sized Shades seemingly being led, even protected, by medium-sized ones. Packs of medium-sized shades almost operating like teams can also be found, usually accompanied by a destructive large Shade. Solitary Shades should be avoided, as they are rare and may indicate some deviously different plan to kill and murder. Some Shades exhibit strange behavior that seems to mimic those of humans, including reading, writing, and even a type of speech. We can only assume that these Shades are merely more cunning than others, using their cheap imitations of human mannerisms to draw in unsuspecting victims.
