Shadow Men

==Summary==
The Shadow Men are mysterious, extremely dangerous entities that seemingly work in service to far greater, malign forces such as Korrok and Min. Said by North to be the products of violent deaths, the Shadow Men are unbound by matter, space, and time, traveling across dimensions in service of inscrutable goals.

Speed: Unknown
Lifting Strength: Unknown
Striking Strength: Unknown
Durability: Unknown (Dave believes that the nature of their existence would make weapons such as nuclear bombs useless against them, as they are embodiments of violence themselves).
Stamina: Likely limitless.
Range: Unknown. Standard melee range to tens or hundreds of meters, most likely.
Standard Equipment: Nothing notable.
Intelligence: Unknown, likely somewhat variable. All Shadow Men thus far are generally competent and clever, all the moreso due to their time traveling.
Weaknesses: Shadow Men can be harmed and driven off by symbols of faith and music (so long as it's good, at least; power metal is apparently most effective). As they do not have physical forms, they are blind in the physical world, relying instead on supernatural senses and possessed victims.
