The Shadow Vampire is a nightmarish undead creature, able to shift in and out of the shadows with ease. It feeds on the fear and dread it instills in its victims, using its powers to terrify and elude capture. Be wary when facing a Shadow Vampire, for it can strike from the darkness and slip away before its prey even has a chance to react.
