*Since they are undead, [[Dispel Undead]] or a weapon of [[holy wrath]] will work wonders.

Shadows will be revamped in [[0.13]]. They will be able to turn invisible for brief periods of time. While invisible, movement is increased and their attacks will automatically hit and count as a stab (250% normal damage).
