Incorporeal. A Shadow ignores environmental penalties that applied to creatures required to breath or creatures with a physical body. It can pass through objects and physical terrain, while objects or terrain with the magical or supernatural tags are treated as difficult terrain. While within an object, a Shadow can see beyond the object normally and gains the Covered condition. The Shadow has a 50% chance of being detected with blindsight, and is undetectable to blindsense, scent, and temorsense.
Spawn. A creature with the humanoid tag whose Strength score is reduced to 0 by the Shadow’s Strength damage becomes a shadow under the control of its killer in 1d4 rounds.
