Version 0.28: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Shadow Creatures is a Summonings spell with context-sensitive results. It summons 1d(1 + hit dice/5) monsters or groups fitting to the area that you are in. The duration of the summoned creatures is inversely dependent on their hit dice, so weaker creatures will last longer. Monsters normally generated with equipment are given summoned versions of their weapons and armour which disappear with them.

Summoned bands (such as a group of orcs) only count as one creature in regards to the summoning cap of 4.

The following monsters can cast Shadow Creatures:
