Description

These beasts from the Far Realm exist only for one purpose: Cause pain, hatred and carnage.

Shadowy Origins: Not much is known about Chaos Shadows, but that they were created by Dendar the Night Srrpent as shock troops on a cancelled assault on the Planet of Nirn (the entire D&D plane chart, 9 Hells and others.), but found them useful as a curse on warlocks who betrayed him.

Servants of Oblivion: During the Oblivion Crisis, they were bought from Dendar by Mehrunes Dagon on a nearly successful assault on Nirn, but were decommissioned after it was over. Some escaped into caves, mountains and the Underdark spreading misery, hate and other terrible feelings. They are said to have helped in the turning of the Drow.
