Shadow Soldiers appear as tall humanoids clad in black shadowy armor. Tendrils of smoke curl from them as they move, and slits in their armor glow with eerie blue light. Summoned by powerful individuals called Shadow Monarchs, Shadow Soldiers serve their masters unquestioningly. Although they may begin their existence as mindless shades, Shadow Soldiers can develop personalities over time, often mimicking the actions and behavior of another creature who's presence they are often in, such as their master. Rank 3 Shadow Soldiers possess a level of skill which is much the equal of the ranks 2s. However, in addition to being tougher than the rank 2s, they also have the ability to sap a creature's strength, leaving it weak and vulnerable, if not outright killing it. Undead Nature. The Shadow Soldier doesn't need to eat, sleep, drink, or breathe. |
