Shadow is a passive non-playable Race, only appearing in Midnight Biomes. These jet-black beings constantly emit a thick black mist, and 'speak' only with a hiss of wind. At night (which is anytime on Midnight biomes as they have no daylight), they are almost invisible save for their glowing-green eyes.
Encounters
Midnight Biomes
Shadows only appear in Midnight biomes, and always near mysterious constructs decorated in creepy shrines and Shadow Markers. These structures do not appear to have any form of living quarters, so what purpose they actually serve is a mystery. They're possibly places of worship, except the Shadows seem very indifferent to players destroying these structures.
Shadows are passive, and can't defend themselves from hostile entities nor player attacks save running away (or have any way to stop someone who smashes their urns and takes apart their structures). One must be careful when fighting in Midnight biomes, as they are not safe from player attacks like some passive NPCs.
Trivia
- Players can find the three-piece Dark Disguise Set in Shadow Chests, allowing to player to look like a Shadow.
- The Shadows are one of only two major NPC races that cannot be summoned as a Tenant, the other being the Penguins.
- A red-eyed Dark Guard Mask existed in the game files, but has since been removed at some indeterminate point. This suggests that the Shadows were at one point meant to be able to fight back, but for whatever reason the idea was abandoned.
- If a Shadow is somehow chosen as the recipient of a procedurally generated quest, they will use human dialogue. This will stop once the quest is completed.
