Upon choosing this archetype at 3rd level, you begin to learn to control the shadows in your blood. As an action, you can transform into your Horror form. This form lasts for 10 minutes. You can speak, use equipment, and wear armor in this form. You can revert to your normal form earlier by using an action on your turn. You automatically revert to your normal form if you fall unconscious, drop to 0 hit points, or die.

The benefits of this form replace the rules for Shadow Demon within the Monster Manual.

You can use this feature twice. You regain expended uses when you finish a short or long rest. While you are transformed, you gain the following features:

On a failed save, you must move directly towards the nearest creature to you and use the Attack action against that creature. If there is more than one possible target, the DM chooses the target.
