A mysterious demonic figure, constantly blurring into multiple shadows of itself. It weaves creatures into existence from the very shadows surrounding it.

"As we grow old, we become aware that death is drawing near; his shadow falls across our path..."

-Stefan Zweig, _Twenty-Four Hours in the Life of a Woman_, 1927.

Useful Info

Shadow demons are demonic summoners which haunt demonic places, summoning waves of dangerous foes at you as soon as they spot you. They can be found in the Hells, the Abyss, and Pandemonium. They're faster than normal but are highly vulnerable to holy weapons.

Tips & Tricks

  • Without Mass Abjuration, these guys can theoretically put together truly horrific piles of demons to assault you. Fortunately they spend most of their turns trying to move into melee range with you.
