'''Shadows''' are [[undead]] creatures capable of becoming briefly [[invisible]] and increasing their movement speed. If they attack while invisible, they automatically hit you with a [[stabbing]] attack that deals 250% normal damage. They can be found in the middle floors of the [[Dungeon]], as well as [[the Swamp]], [[the Crypt]] and the [[Hell]]s (particularly [[Tartarus]]). They also show up as the result of some [[death curse]]s.

*Shadows can deal extreme amounts of damage, considering how early in the game you encounter them. If you see one approaching, pop on a [[ring of see invisible]] immediately if you have one available. If not, hitting the thing with [[Corona]] will prevent it from going invisible. If no source of negating their invisibility is available, hit them hard and fast while you can still see them.

A wisp of unliving shadow, slipping in and out of the darkness of the dungeon. It moves swiftly and silently from one pool of shade to another, striking unerringly from the blind spots of those who cannot see it.

Falls the Shadow
For thine is the Kingdom

Between the conception
